““i love all misnagdim, im sorry if anyone gets offended by the term snag, its just short for misnagdim“
We know what it’s short for, and they’re both slurs. Thank you for offering proof that Chabad uses those terms so often that many in Chabad don’t even realize they’re meant to be offensive anymore. This directly refutes Menachem Shmei’s claims about how they’re never used, and how we’re just making stuff up.
Calling people misnagdim is basically calling them “the enemies.” So, the people who kept following the traditional Ashkenazi mesora somehow became “the opposition” overnight because they opted NOT to join a sectarian movement and change their minhagei avos. The entire concept is extremely one-sided and derogatory.
