in reading more on this and dipping into the comments section I realize I've never had any real exposure to any sort of Orthodox Jewish community so it's kind of startling to see everyone talking about the coming of the Mashiach in the exact same way the snake handling nutjobs from my youth talked about the second coming. like right down to the same exact pat phrases to burnish whatever dumb point you're trying to fumble around only with a different way to spell messiah. America makes evangelicals of us all, I guess

Nah, from reading accounts of religious Jewish communities, it has been bad for awhile when they were in Europe. Hasidim started in Central and Eastern Europe, as a reaction to nationalism since the 19th c. A lot of Jewish people escaped those communities to be secular because it was abusive, backwards and stifling. I wouldn't just say it's Hasidim too since Sephardic communities were just as bad in the Netherlands according to autobiographical book on Spinoza (who ofc left the community and criticized Judaism)
Calvinist Protestants did have their own hosed up community in Europe too so it's all poo poo from there that has taken root in the US because of "religious freedoms" to create your own little cults. Reactionaries love the US!

"There is no solitude greater than that of the samurai unless it be that of a tiger in the jungle... perhaps..."
I recommend the giant doorstopper Hasidism: A New History for a survey of the views of different Hasidic sects. The later chapters discuss how the US made for fertile ground for the postwar revival of Hasidism despite the US's having historically been viewed as the treyf medina (unkosher land) by Hasidim. Chabad's messianism is not the norm among other Hasidim (and it's also controversial within Chabad, but a large faction still take the messianic view), however.

oh I don't doubt it's been a thing forever, I'm just taken aback by how much these guys in particular sound like evangelicals when invoking the messiah, down to like the exact same formulations of "this [hyperlocal event/culture war thing I'm obsessed with/minor inconvenience] is incontrovertible proof of the turbulent times that herald the (second) coming"

They're also literal evangelicals in the sense that they evangelize - unlike any other Hasidic movement, their whole thing is trying to get irreligious ethnic Jews to engage in religious observance.

the streets of new york are so old and hoary that they dont even have maps of where all the pipes and utilities are so digging up a street becomes a bit of an archeological project. chabad guys could have hit a random pipe that had been filling for the last 120 years with fart gas and blown up half the block

In a statement, Jonathan Greenblatt, the director of the Anti-Defamation League, which fights antisemitism worldwide, tells Rolling Stone he finds the spread of such posts, which echo centuries-old antisemitic conspiracy theories, incredibly concerning. “It’s deeply troubling that anyone would use this incident, which the Chabad movement at large has strongly condemned, to draw inappropriate and false comparisons to Hamas tunnels in Gaza
