Bud: “What drew me to the Orthodox in my youth was how reactionary the core is. I know that’s what Luke loves about it most. If there would have been an alt-right back in the pre-Internet days, he would have just gone WN. But on some level, for someone like Luke, the main thing is the red pill. Whether it’s Jewish or anti-Semitic is secondary.”
Jane: “The truth is the truth. It manifests itself in different ways. I feel like a lot of the things orthodox rabbis said would be considered “anti-Semitic” by a lot of people’s standards.”
Bud: “As a buddy says similarly, “The truth always comes out.” This was the mussar movement bringing good manners to the Ostjuden. Of course, only the Litvaks listened even a little bit.”
