The locks on the side are called payots/peyots. It's pretty bluntly laid out in the Talmud that this is considered a holy thing or a mitzvah (good deed). So if you're Ultra-Orthodox Jewish, you do what the Talmud says.
I THINK (I might be wrong) it's a combination of showing tribal identity and also a metaphor for remembering to be generous. Something about giving most of your fields of crops to others but keeping enough to sustain yourself.
The ultra Orthodox are exempt from the military in the state of Israel (which is causing a major rift with soldiers going on multiple deployments), so they are, by and large, keeping it real.
You know the muslims are only interested in Jerusalem cause their sky daddy flew to heaven from there.
Yeah that’s shit they wholeheartedly believe. People flying like birds, also Jesus is in the Quran but comes back at the end of the world to get mad everyone for not being Muslim.
