“The ones who if you needed a bracha for something and they would be on your list to get a bracha from were all chareidy.”
I think this is incorrect for many people Rav Ovadia Yosef zatzal was big source for brochas and was not of typical chareidi world view. In addition Rav Dov kook of teveriah many go to him for brochos he is more liberal toward the idf. Also Hagaon Rav Hershel Shachter many go to him for brochos as well. Historically Rav isser zalman meltzer famously said that Rav Avrohom Yitzchok Kook davens on a typical mincha more than most people daven on yom kipur. The Netziv was leader of volozin and was a member of chovevei tzion the predecessor of mizrahi/dati leumi.
The Emes is they were consistant with Torah and halacha always. Nowadays there is a split between Torah and Halacha that Chareidi Gedolim are not really paskening based on critical halachik analysis בעיון הסוגיה והפוסקים nowadays it’s more based on what the frum way of doing it or they can claim דעת תורה but a proper תשובה הלכתית is not usually written on matters of great importance.
To me the gedolei yisroel of the more modern world like Hagaon Rav Herchshel Shachter Hagaon rav nochum rabinovitch are not respected enough in our world (I am in a yeshivish kollel)
The idea to totally divide kelal yisroel and that is the right thing כאילו רח”ל is the tremendous sheker of our dor. Kelal yisroel and toras yisroel go together (to even compare these גדולי צביקה עולם to conservative is a total עם ארצות)
