38 is a boomer now?

Not justifying his actions at all but laying this on the boomers is patently false... the fucker was 38.

Do other boomers think like this? Yes.. of course, but let's keep the narrative reality based OK?

No. Boomer is a name for a specific generation of people, it's not the same as calling someone a Karen. We already have names for people like this: domestic terrorists and bigots

Oh my friend how you are mistaken. Being a boomer isn't about your age.

Being a boomer is about not knowing if you should use "your" or "you're", typing in all caps locks, blaming today's problems on the younger generations, bragging about buying a house "back in their day" on a janitor's salary (no disrespect to janitors), and believing you are superior to other generations simply because you're older.

Treating any generation as a monolith is fucking pants on head stupid...but using boomer in this context may in fact be a little dumber than that.

It wreaks of lashing out, and sadly dismisses an entire generation....

...but that won't happen to your generation though, it will be remembered only for the good parts and you won't be blamed for all of the current failures at all.

same as it ever was I guess.
