November 2025 - SAVING GEN Z … AND AMERICA: Overcoming the malevolent forces driving today's young people over the edge
Generation Z – the name given to those 69 million Americans born between 1997 and 2012 – is a uniquely troubled generation. And although news reports like to emphasize the fact that many of the highest-profile criminals and crazies in the last few months have been "Gen Zers" – from Tyler Robinson, charged with assassinating Charlie Kirk in Utah, to Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump in Butler, Pa., to Luigi Mangione, arrested for gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City – the vast majority of Gen Zers are, of course, law-abiding. Yet millions are mightily besieged and victimized by the same factors that are transforming many of their peers into political radicals, and in some cases notorious criminals.
Social analysts have labored to break down the various factors that have made Gen Z into what social psychologist Jonathan Haidt titled his #1 New York Times bestseller – "The Anxious Generation."
Incredibly, an estimated 42% of Generation Z has been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD or other mental health condition, with a staggering 60% reportedly taking psychiatric drugs, according to a study from the highly respected Psychiatrist.com website.
Analysts point to a host of vexing, anxiety-producing issues facing Gen Z – including widespread financial worries, with college costs in the stratosphere, food more expensive than ever, home ownership entirely out of reach for most, and two jobs often needed just to pay the rent.
Then there's the disconcerting reality that many Gen Zers are not dating or getting married and having families – partly due to economic pressures, high anxiety and insecurity about the future, disillusionment with marriage due to the high level of divorce in their parents' generation, and widespread reliance on dating apps. But also because they are spending on average three hours every day sucked into the giant black hole called "social media" – where every deranged group on earth is influencing and recruiting 24/7.
And yet, on an even deeper level, there's a powerful underlying truth eloquently spelled out by podcaster Bethany Mandel in her New York Post article, "How do two privileged New Jersey teens get seduced by ISIS?" which details how and why "two teenagers from one of New Jersey's wealthiest suburbs were arrested … for allegedly plotting to join ISIS and carry out mass killings of Jews." The causative factors, Mandel notes, do not start with getting brainwashed and recruited by evil people on the internet.
Co-author of "Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation," Mandel sets the stage for probing the underlying causes by simply questioning why "two affluent American teenagers from a picture-perfect town" would end up "embracing one of the most violent ideologies on earth." After all, she notes, one of the two boys claimed he wanted to personally "execute 500 Jews" and "mow down" pro-Israel marchers in his hometown, while the other boy "posted photos of himself with knives and said he wanted to behead people." Lots of people.
Yet, explains Mandel, all of this is "not as inexplicable as it looks":
These boys didn't grow up amid war or deprivation.They grew up amid nothingness.
They had comfort, but not conviction; connection, but not community; access to everything, but belief in nothing.
They are the hollow products of a culture that dismantled every possible avenue through which they could have found meaning.
In the vacuum left by the disappearance of faith, tradition and moral authority, they went looking for something to believe in – something absolute, something that made them feel powerful and alive and part of something bigger than themselves.
And online, there's an endless marketplace of extremism eager to sell that illusion.
"These boys didn't find ISIS in a mosque," notes Mandel. "They found it on Discord," a gaming site widely used as a recruitment hub by radical and terrorist groups from Antifa to ISIS. "A generation raised without faith or moral grounding is now desperately searching for something to fill the void. And when that search happens in the digital wilderness, without fathers, pastors or teachers to guide them, it leads not to purpose, but to poison."
America's 'poisonous school system'
Of course, out of the tens of millions of Gen Zers in the U.S., only a relative few become actual monsters and murderers. On the other hand, a large number – especially those attending today's radicalized far-left colleges and universities – have been jubilantly demonstrating in America's streets their approval for monsters and murderers, in particular Hamas. (An August 2025 Harvard/Harris poll found that an astonishing 60% of Gen Z voters aged 18 to 24 supported Hamas over Israel.)
And no wonder. For in addition to their massive involvement with online influencers, the other major institution engaging – and reprogramming – Gen Zers' minds is America's poisonous school system.
Fact: America's entire education establishment, from K-12 public schools to college and graduate school – with precious few exceptions – is dominated by the far left. Not liberals. Radical leftists – the kind who enjoy subjecting preschoolers to "drag queen story hour," where demonically possessed transgender men dressed up as women (and sometimes dressed up as demons, with horns protruding from their heads) read stories about heroic LGBT characters to innocent toddlers forced to sit at their feet.
For children just a few years older, it's every bit as perverse: White children are exhorted to see themselves as "white-privileged" descendants of racist oppressors and slaveholders who should feel guilty over their despicable heritage. Likewise, black school children are indoctrinated to see themselves as oppressed victims in need of reparations – and perhaps revenge.
Meanwhile, middle school libraries commonly feature hard-core pornography placed in the most visible and accessible locations, to entertain America's children when they're not being subjected to rampant Marxist indoctrination. (During the Biden administration, many were outraged when parents stood up at a Loudon County, Va. school board meeting to complain about their children being indoctrinated with Marxist "critical race theory," which prompted the Biden Justice Department to liken those parents to "domestic terrorists." Yes, that really happened.) To top things off, there are the "After School Satan Clubs" established in public schools throughout America, sponsored by the Salem, Mass.-based Satanic Temple.
Then in college, things get really bad.
A high percentage of professors today are radical far-left ideologues – indoctrinating Gen Zers to hate their own country as an evil, racist "oppressor" nation, promoting "diversity, equity and inclusion" (DEI) at every turn, endorsing the most radical and ever-expanding claims of the LGBT world, characterizing President Trump as another Hitler (one prof even claimed Charlie Kirk was the leader of today's "Hitler Youth"), demonizing America's longtime ally Israel and lionizing Islamic terrorists dedicated to annihilating the tiny Jewish state. And so on.
So, is there hope for Gen Z – and for the future of America?
Yes, there is. In fact, an extraordinary analysis of both the huge challenges facing Generation Z, and the inspired solutions for America's "anxious generation," are laid out in the latest issue of Whistleblower magazine. It's titled "SAVING GEN Z … AND AMERICA: Overcoming the malevolent forces driving today's young people over the edge."

Comments Whistleblower Editor David Kupelian: "A special feature in this Whistleblower report is an in-depth interview with Charlie Kirk all about Generation Z, conducted just weeks before he was assassinated on Sept. 10. Charlie Kirk was arguably the most credible and knowledgeable person on earth regarding Gen Zers and what they are really thinking, seeing as he spent years engaging in daily in-depth dialogues with members of Generation Z on America's college campuses. The interview is highly revealing."
