I agree in general, but what an image choice for the Jewish people. Hassidics are far far less awesome and far far more right wing themselves.

Yeah, it's like picturing a Christian man wearing a maga hat, camo pants and a wifebeater he justifies the name of, surrounded by a fearfully obedient family. Like "Christian people are awesome!"

Hasidics consider the average conservative "too liberal".

Sadly this is the same for every religious minority group.

Most strictly conforming to rules -> most conservative -> most likely to be used in media or promotion because it's most visible

The more visible a difference is, the more likely it is to be considered in a progressive society. Humans are pretty stupid when it comes to these things.
