Are Conspiracies Destroying Gen Z? | Shabbos Kestenbaum | DSH #1855

from Digital Social Hour · host Sean Kelly

In this explosive word war debate, Shabbos Kestenbaum tackles some of today’s most controversial topics head-on. From the myths about Israel controlling the U.S., to anti-Semitism, to the dangerous influence of social media on Gen Z—nothing is off-limits. Shabbos breaks down why blaming others for personal failure is toxic, how bad role models are shaping an entire generation, and why political double standards persist in both media and education. He also exposes the realities of lobbying, foreign influence, and cultural decay in Western society. This isn’t just a debate—it’s a wake-up call about the ideas, forces, and ideologies that are quietly shaping our world.
