Did this guy disobey the gedolim?

Kanoi: It is also fairly obvious that not one of the Tanaim, Amaraim, or Rishonim used electricity. The reason for this is also fairly obvious; in that day and age, it simply wasn’t possible. It also wasn’t possible to survive without going to work, so they worked. But today, if one is learning and can survive without working, why work?
With all due respect, do you understand how ridiculous you sound when you make such comments? The only reason you can live without working is not because you are supported by the community; rather, you are living off the backs of everyone who works. So, you are saying it is actually permissable and even preferred to live off charity than to work. I will tell you that this view completely goes against the Torah. I am not talking about some individual boy who is supported by his family. What you are saying is that is preferable NOT to work and live off everyone else! In the US, we call such people moochers and parasites.
Let’s take this a step further. What if everyone took your advice? How would anyone live??????
BTW, your comments about the medinah are just plain wrong. The state was established in 1948. If what you say about the Arabs is true, please explain the riots in 1920, 1929 and 1936 were about. Please also explain why all Ashkenazic Jews were barred from Yerushalyim for over 100 years in the 17th century. Please also explain the reason for the Arab pogroms in Hebron and Tzsfas in 1834, when Zionism as a movement did not even exist!
