I never said that teimonim aren’t “reliable” or “valid”, i explained in that thread that i used a poor choice of words, and that was never my intent.
My criticism is not based on “how my community does things”
No group of jews ever believed that putting boxes on clueless frei people with the status of goyim or captured babies brings the geulah. Sefardim, chasidim, and litvaks, stress learning, chessed, avoiding lashon hora, and the like, as ways of bringing the geulah. They also never said “do a mirzvah and bring moshiach”
We do mitzvos for Hashem, not to bring the geulah. His whole ideology is self-created.
You’re only buttressing the theory that you’re lubavitch, wherein anyone who’s not lubavitch is “other”.
