I used to date a Jewish woman from NYC and she told me there's all kinds of weird ass Jewish sects in the city. Like you'll have some synagogue founded by immigrants from one Jewish village in Hungary who believe some rabbi who died in 1922 was the messiah and they'll randomly get in fist fights with guys from some synagogue from Moldova.
Sounds like a good basis for an RPG.
Oh god 4chan would have a field day with that.
How the fuck does it make any sense to think "the messiah" was some guy who just like fucking died 100 years ago
and then the holocaust happened!
This is like crap I half remember her telling me about, idk if there's literally a Hungarian Jewish sect that believes the messiah was some guy in the 20s, I do remember her telling me about some weird Moldavian Jewish sect that owned like a whole neighborhood in Queens and did get in fights with other Jews constantly. But FYI there's been a lot of Jewish messianic climates, and a few besides Jesus still how followers today, or at least had followers until not that long ago. There's some Turkish dude in the 1600s who I think some tiny Jewish sect thinks was the messiah.
The Christians or Jesus's followers didn't exactly have an easy time in the aftermath of Jesus's death. Nowhere near as bad as the Holocaust though.
