“If other rabbis (most, actually) and the Talmud believe that work is absolutely preferable than living off tzedakah, why would anyone believe otherwise?”
Ever heard of the mapai red card?
Ever heard of the histadrut?
When Weitzman visited in the mid 20s, he said the most impressive settlement was Bnei Brak
The original chareidi settlers were all small farmers, shop keepers, and businessmen.
And they were chased out.
By whom?
R’ Nachman Bulman started a frum anglo community in ’80s in Migdal Emek with a ratio of 3 earner: 1 learner.
He requested the secular and mizrachi parties for help. The hypocrites all couldn’t care less.

“RAK B’DAM TIHYE LANU HA’AETZ, Shed your blood cheerfully, for your blood is cheap. But for your blood, the Land will be ours.”

where the Jews have long since assimilated?
The US?

was treacherously marginalized by mizrachi’s concordat with Ben Gurion in ’35,

After they sucked everything from the Jewish people and give back a pittance?
In 1976, in Tradition Magazine! there was an article that stated that if not for the State of Israel, tens or hundreds of millions would have gone to Jewish education, communal institutions and yeshivos…
