““Nesius” is a term created יש מאין. The last time there was a Nasi was in the early amoraim.”

Incorrect. It’s in sefarim more recent than that. (Arso has looked into it- ask him).

Yes lubavitch is unique in applying it to their Rebbeim. I guess as descendants of Beis Dovid, we are unique. And the term connotes responsibility for all Jews, not just your community.

And yes we’re proud of it and it wouldn’t bother us if others had the same outlook- it would be great if every community looked out for the entire Klal Yisrael.
