Not saying this is wrong but sometimes you need to look in the mirror as well. It's never just one thing. Also, throw away the boomer blame game and refocus on the rich 10%, who are more than just boomers now.

I just find these reductive generalisations a bit silly and divisive. As if anyone born between arbitrary years x and y is part of some sort of united collective that can reasonably critique everyone born between years v and w.

That is spot on. I have just concluded that it isn't my responsibility to educate my parents. And since they don't listen anyway, I also realized that since that is the case, we have not become closer through the years; but actually the opposite. And that all because they're not willing to accept facts, because they're lazy and entitled.

It's never worth your time or effort to have a discussion/argument with someone who isn't going to participate in good faith.

This gives me flashbacks to the one time in my life I really wanted to answer “okay boomer”

My father in law was supporting the claim the climate change might exist, but it’s nothing we have to concern ourselves about because it’s going to take decades to do anything.

And I was like: you have grandkids, they will be there in decades! And: you just experienced the first drought of your country, how is that not climate change??

After half an hour going in rounds I gave up and bit my tongue to not torpedo our relationship. Two years later he admitted that maybe there was something about climate change nowadays…

The secret ingredient is lead poisoning. The Baby Boomer generation spent over half their lives sniffing leaded gasoline fumes.

The boomers have lost all respect

"Ok Boomer" means "that's nice, now go sit down grandpa, the adults who live in realityare talking"

Slurs, contrary to popular belief, do have some utility
