Specifically Israel: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-ultra-Orthodox-or-Haredi-Jewish-people-have-special-rights-in-Israel

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exemption_from_military_service_in_Israel

Though apparently the Israeli Supreme Court ruled against the ultra-Orthodox regarding the military service exemption in 2024 so maybe that's not a thing anymore.

Hasids in the US don't allow their women to interact with men. The Amish are exempt from many taxes in the US.

They are so insular that they are essentially small countries within a host country. It's just not compatible with a free and open society imo.

Edit: One exemption I can think of is Native Reservations, since it's their fucking land in the first place.

    No one's talking about Israel though, also many other communities are insular like that in the US try moving to a small redneck town or just being any shade other than white and you'll see how groups behave differently around you, I don't support it, but as I said that's their right, you can't force people to socialize anyway, and taxes should be paid by everyone, you can't call out one group and then ignore the others

    No one’s talking about Israel though,

    Literally the comment I initially replied to:

    Unless you’re part of their culture, Hasidic Jews are tough to get along with

    I wasn't just calling out one group. they were just the examples that came to mind. I think you're lost in the sauce dude, go back and read what my actual point was.

    Those rednecks are like that because they've got their own insular communities. It's part of the same problem.
