As someone who, like you, went to an MO school but is not MO, I’d venture to say that you had a terrible experience. In my experience, MO could be split up into two categories of people:
1) Those who don’t really care about Judaism but want to hold onto ‘tradition’ in some way.
2) Those who are genuine b’nei torah with slightly different hashkafos.
The assertion that “Rabbi shechter is fine with the idea that a secular state is the lifeblood of the jewish nation” is abjectly false. One can be a religious Zionist without minimizing the importance of the rest of the Torah and many MO people do. Again, I say this as someone who is neither MO nor Zionist.
I will further caution you to be careful about what you implicate about Rav Shechter and, through inference, people like Rav Mordechai Willig and Rav Aryeh Lebowitz. You seem to be very close to slandering some pretty big people.
Also this topic has gone completely off the rails from my original question.
