Who said Sephardic was being an illiterate farmer? What I mean is that Shas is a copy and paste of Lithuanian Chareidi Hashkafa. It’s not that Sephardim are not into Torah etc. Of course they are. But it’s HOW they approach Yiddishkeit. Shas does not represent this at all. Shas tries to emulate the Lithuanian derech. It’s not natural at all. It’s quite artificial and alien. And most Sephardim in Israel DO NOT vote Shas. That’s just a blatant lie.
It’s so obvious that we Ashkenazim are just too closed minded to appreciate the authentic Sephardic derech.
