1) There are wild and savage animals who are the scholars of the natural sciences who want to show with their knowledge that everything is according to laws of nature, and they ruin many of our people; many Jews have fallen into these ideas. THESE SOULS ARE LIKE TRAPPED BIRDS. THEREFORE, ANYONE WHO CARES ABOUT HIS SOUL MUST ESCAPE FROM THEM, AND NOT ALLOW HIS SOUL TO BE RUINED BY THESE IDEAS THAT ARE VERY POWERFUL.

(Kitzur Likutei Moharan, Part 2, #4, sec. 8)

2) The primary part of loving one's fellow Jew are Jews who follow the Torah, since it is a mitzvah to hate the total evildoers [who seek to uproot Judaism] who have no good in them at all, just like it is written, the goal of hatred is hating them. The main fact of the commandment of loving your fellow is your fellow in mitzvot.

(Likutei Halachos, Birchas HaRe'iya, Halacha 4, #4)

3) On the sect that studies secular sciences and only study the written Torah, and who ignore the Talmud are like the Karaites, to whomever is familiar with their ideas. All their studies are evil, and their commentaries are evil. They are based on the ideas of the famous heretics like Aristotle and his associates, may their memories be obliterated. One must stay away from these groups and their books to the furthest extent possible, even further than from other sinners. These types are referred to in the phrase Anyone who goes in there never comes out. They will never attain true life, as is known to all those familiar with Judaism and the enormous evil of those sects. May G-d protect us from them and their followers.

(Likutei Halachos, Hilchos Shabbos, Halacha 5, #13)

4) Therefore King David opened his book of Psalms with the phrase, Happy is he who does not follow the advice of the wicked, because THIS IS THE MAIN POINT OF THE TORAH, TO STAY AWAY FROM THE ADVICE OF THE WICKED WHO ARE THE MAIN PART OF THE POISON OF THE SERPENT that was brought into the world by the sin of Adam, and thus negatively affecting truth and faith which are the main part of the Torah.

(Likutei Halachos, Hilchos Giluach, Halacha 4, #14)

5) And the fourth shell [kelippa] is the intermediary one (kelippas noga) between holiness and the profane. This is the source of the animal soul and is the aspect of the evil sciences of the world. Some of them call themselves "hassidim" and talk about idiotic ideas that deter a person from Hashem and his Torah and Tzadikkim. They are the aspect of kelipas noga mixed with good and bad. They have alot of good because they don't give up the Torah entirely, and some are partially kosher and speak words of truth. HOWEVER, MIXED WITH THEM IS ALSO ALOT OF EVIL, THAT IS, THEIR OWN IDEAS WHICH THEY THINK IS REAL KNOWLEDGE. In fact they are just idiocy.

They cause alot of damage and prevent a person from drawing close to the Tzadikkim of Truth and their disciples who bring out G-dly wisdom. Actually these types are more dangerous than any non-Jew or outright heretic could be. Most believing Jews would know not to accept the ideas of these latter groups. However, they don't stay away from the ideas of this type, the partially kosher people who are actually even more dangerous than the others. They cause a great deal of damage with their ideas and mockery when they mock the ways of truth and innocence.

Our holy books teach us that the main test and clarification in the world is of kellipas noga, which is mixed with good and evil. Because they have some good in them, there is a greater ability to for evil to draw sustenance from them.

(Likutei Halachos, Halacha Nezikin, Halacha 4, #28)

6) The main thing is to educate one's children to follow the path of holiness as we received from our forefathers, just as we are warned in the verses of Shma, And teach them to your children, etc..and thus keep them away from the evil sects that arose in our generation to uproot, G-d forbid, Jewish youth from the foundations of our holy religion.

(Likutei Halachos, Halacha Priya Urivya, Halacha 5, #3)

7) One must strongly keep away from the values of the masses that are mostly evil and degenerate values, and how much moreso the values of the Wicked who opposed the Truth. One must stay away from them even more, because all the degeneracy and ruination comes from them. Their values are the aspect of the ideas of the Original Serpent, and when one accepts their values, they are injecting into themselves the poison in the aspect of marriage [nisu'in] of kelippa as it is written, "The serpent hasi'ani".

(Kitsur Likutei Moharan, #7, (10) )

8) When a person prays in a minyan where there are wicked people, they may throw him down spiritually. The technique to protect oneself from them is to raise one's hand up during prayers. (Sefer HaMidos, Falling, Part 1, #12)

10) Whoever looks favorably upon an evildoer is also called an evildoer. (Sefer HaMidos, Staying Away from Evildoers, Part 1, #6)

11) A person should keep away from a kiss of an Evildoer, because through the kiss there is a link between them even after death. (Sefer Hamidos, ibid., Part 2, #3)

12) Stay away from Evildoers lest you be caught in their punishment. (Sefer Hamidos, ibid., Part 1, #2)

13) G-d will send salvation to whomever stays away from Evildoers. (ibid., #14)

14) Association with the Wicked is injurious to service of G-d.

(ibid., #18)

There is the feeling among many of the followers of the teachings of the Tzaddik as to why we have to relate to the phenomenon of the heretical state. Why don't we just stick to avodas hashem, improving our character traits, etc.? We must realize that this feeling does not derive from attachment to the tzaddik or love of Hashem, but only from impure sources. This resembles a case of a father whose son fell away from the path of the Torah and left the way of righteousness. The father turns for advice in this bitter situation, and the chasid responds "Why should we be involved in such issues, please, let's stick to avodas hashem. Among us we only talk about Torah and Prayer!" Would we consider such a chassid to be an intelligent person? No, we could consider him to be cruel and unfeeling in relating that way to the suffering of his brother, by answering him with "I am only involved in avodas hashem.."

The father would think that this chasid was thinking "His son isn't my son, and besides, I am involved in getting up chatzos and in other spiritual activities - so why do I have to care about someone else, since the mitzvah of saving another Jew is not specifically a requirement of Breslov chassidus, but of any type of Jew. I want to continue being involved in Rabbenu's teachings!" Only with this self-righteousness would it be possible to detach oneself from awesome responsibility under the guise of avodas hashem.

In the case at hand, when a person under the guise of avodas hashem seeks to detach himself from the effects of the heretical regime that is uprooting and destroying Jews from the bosom of their Father in Heaven, this is the cruelty of that chasid towards that poor father, since when we analyze the situation we can see that each action of that regime is to promote awesome heresy affecting each and every Jew.

If one says "well, at least they give money for Torah education" there is nothing more ridiculous and arrogant than that. Who forced the evildoers to cause Jewish souls to join their draft or to hang their flag over yeshivas? And who forced those who take money from them to do so? This has prevented observant people from protesting against the actions of the state, because they are scared of losing money. In addition, if the evildoers are involved in providing funds for yeshivas, they most certainly seek to derive benefit thereby. Nothing is granted freely and benificently.

How could it be that believing Jews and Torah observers would praise an evildoer who still wields his sword cruelly over everything that is precious and holy to us? How could anyone honor the head of the heretical state and to refer to him as a Manhig Yisrael - a Jewish Leader while he is only concerned with contaminating the holy land with all sorts of tum'ah (impurity) and the name of Heaven never crosses his lips. Is this how one shows love of Hashem? AND EVEN IF THAT PERSON IS A TINOK SHENISHBA (A "CAPTIVE CHILD") NEVERTHELESS HE IS LEADER OF THOSE CAUSING OTHER JEWISH SOULS TO SIN! How could such a person be honored?!

And when, in the case of our Rebbe, a person who calls himself a Breslover, it's bad enough supporting heresy, but when he adds Rabbenu's name to it, nothing could be worse. OY THAT SUCH HAS ARISEN IN OUR TIME, THAT IN THE GUISE OF THE TEACHINGS OF RABBENU NACHMAN UNDER THE NAME OF HIS TIKKUN HAKLALI (TEN PSALM RECTIFICATION), THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE DISSEMINATING HERESY AND SECTARIANISM TO TAKE PART IN THE HERETICAL REGIME THAT IS UPROOTING JUDAISM.

in the past they didn't use the teachings of the Tzaddik for such banal and mundane purposes, today, for a handful of money, they are turning this awesome Tikkun  - which Rabbenu said originated at a very high place - into the chariot of such tum'ah (impurity), flattery of the wicked and to collaborate with heretics.
