By “us all” I meant even you (though clearly you disagree)
and peer pressure amongst teenagers is real (and clearly is even real among adults-hence the takonos)
and all peer pressure fits the example, whether fashion, smoking, cell phones etc.
The anti-semitism comment is the position of numerous gedolim, so I don’t have to defend it

I don’t point fingers
I educate my children, about why I behave differently than others. I teach them mussar, I teach them that pursuing gashmiuos is wrong and bad for their soul. And when they ask about the neighbors mansions I tell them not to judge, maybe they didnt have a yeshiva background like me.
If you feel that’s “pointing fingers” than I can’t help that.
