“So would I prefer a G-d fearing am haretz over a lamdan who has warped haskafas?”
I’m not so sure what you mena by “prefer” Regardless this thread is not about what peopel you prefer, it is about insults, particularly yiddish ones.
“Am haaretz” is in my opinion the worst insult mentioned in this thread. You do not have to agree. Obviously this is subjective.
The fact that some am haaratzim are “better people” or that you “prefer” them than some lamdanim might be true, but has absolutely zero bearing on this thread
I don’t even understand what you are trying to say. I know some ugly people I prefer them to some good looking people, this doesn’t change the fact that ugly is an insult.
