Well, it does add that Chassidim game the system by hiring SEO experts and copywriters, and that they are super creepy weirdos who can't look at customers eye to eye so they need to sell online.
Sure did. Fits their narrative well.
Sigh.

Did the times always have articles that were this poorly written or is this a recent thing? I'm not even talking about the content...

Didn't they recently fire all their copy-editors?

It's a copy of this https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/leticiamiranda/amazon-orthodox-jews and it doesn't say anything that's not already known.

Buzzfeed actually spent a few months on that article.
The times probably spent a few hours.

This.

Also they quote the same 2 people in every SINGLE article on BP. It's insulting to me as a subscriber.

Very nice piece. This quote struck home and was my experience when I basically encountered Orthodox Jews for the first time about 25 years ago at the Central Park Zoo. Of course my views have changed over the years.

Here was Glass’ exact quote: ““Walking up to Hasids on the street felt like walking up to people from another planet. People had a general air of hostility or at least suspicion to outsiders like me. They waved me off.”

This is great from his first article: https://www.dailywire.com/news/walsh-court-rules-that-a-mom-can-transition-son-into-girl-against-his-dads-wishes-this-is-evil-insane-child-abuse
Quote
Anthropologists in the future will spend a lot of time discussing and debating the question of when, exactly, the once-great American civilization went insane, why it happened, and how. I can only imagine what conclusions they will draw. As an American citizen in the present day, actually bearing witness to the collapse of sanity and reason in real time, I’m not sure that I can even answer those questions. Perhaps hindsight will lend some clarity to the issue.

We've got to create a term for hatred found in some secular Jews towards (ultra) Orthodox Jews. Some exploit too much the fact that a Jew him/herself can't be accused in antisemitism.

Yes, it's called antiChareidism.

Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.
