There is one particular lie that is as annoying as it is overused. To demarcate the extent of the ideology with fear, the orthodox intentionally cultivate the idea that post-orthodoxy equals post-Jewishness. This is a vicious and intentional lie (like most what that culture takes for granted). There are many examples that disprove the vile theory. One obvious example is Zionism, a secular post-orthodox idea that defined the Jewish ethos for the past century. Not only Zionism was the most creative eruption for the Jewish culture in a millennium but it saved the orthodox tochas in the material and spiritual sense. This naturally should come to an end now.
