What about someone born to a rich family? The father gives him 100 million in the bank or whatever and the kid supports his own family off the interest. Never works a day in his life. Is that scenario impossible?
Also I’m not so into politics, but why exactly should we care if goyim practice toeiva marriages?
It is also interesting to note many gedolim learned for crazy of numbers an hour every day sleeping very little and when asked about it gave the same answer “I have time to sleep when I’m dead, now is the time to learn”.
And indeed working if far more important that learning, at least for the overwhelming majority of people. It’s a mistaken ideology to say otherwise.
You would be doing a big mitzvah for me if you can point me to a sefer that expresses this ideology.

Mila is not objectively questionable. Living off others is
The proof that milah is if anything subjectively questionable are the movements to ban bris milah. How can you say it is not objectively questionable when such movements exist?
How about kashrus? Some countries have already banned shechting animals in their countries. Should they not eat kosher meat so as not to cause chilul Hashem by those that think we are being cruel to animals?
anon for this:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but limud Torah is also a mitzvos asei. And a mitzva that Jews throughout history have risked their lives for. We both know that using food stamps is not a mitzvah. But if using food stamps will allow one to be mekayem the mitzvah that is shokul kneged kol hamitzvos, I haven’t been convinced yet that I need to worry about what the goyim think.
