Reply To: Is "Haredism" a Movement?

LU, you left out a category, mine. While my local chareidi community considers me their own, the remnant chiloni neighbors refer to me as “chareidi mezuyaf”. While my wife wore a shaitle and we had other things about us, I very obviously work, generally looking like something crawled up from a swamp. There is widespread belief among the secular that non of us contribute in the workforce. Hence our other name–parazitim.
