avram,
I think a movement who believes their teachings came from moshiach(story with the baal shem tov) and need to be spread in order for him to come naturally are gonna think one who doesnt learn them is not getting all the spirituality one needs. Idk what else u expect there. I dont know many chabadniks (myself included) who would say they are spiritually superior to Rav Chaim. I think they would say they have an emes which rav chaim isnt tapping into and a kesher to the nasi which rav chaim doesnt have and that if rav chaim tapped into it he would be even greater. ur terms are two black and white i think. The Rebbe however says there are no more real misnagdim anymore. He suggested another word to use for day to day interactions. Historically when a group of misnagdim were against u and ur approach for over a hundred years it tends to be a symbol. Mitzrayim also became a symbol. Everyone talks about leaving their own mitzrayim as chassidim talking about leaving their inner misnaged. This is the case even if misnagdim stop being misnagdim (which the rebbe actually said) and even if mitzrayim becomes a land of democracy and freedom and values.
