Saying that all life is sacred and matters isn’t racist. There is a difference between peacefully protesting and rioting, looting, and damaging property. The cancel culture is counterproductive to a free society, etc. Today we seem to demonize the messenger rather than honestly debate the message. If that defines a boomer, then I sure won’t consider being called a boomer a derogatory term, it means that one is capable of thinking independently rather than mindlessly reciting the mob narrative.

agreed. Someone needs to coin “zoomer”.

Zoomer: Immature idiot with no real life experience who needs to shut up and go to their “safe space” while the adults talk.

“Zoomer” already exists in slang. You’re a day late and a dollar short with this insult.

Okay Zoomer?

that doesn’t hit the same when someone isn’t insulted by the term ;)

I don't think anyone feels insulted when they're called boomer.

there’s a lot of evidence in this thread suggesting that you’re wrong

Yeah? Which posts? I see people confused, not insulted. It's obvious that it's intended as an insult which I think contributes to their confusion. It's not insulting. It's just dismissive.

yeah I’m not going to sit here and go rounds about whether dismissive attitudes are insulting or not. That’s some boomer bull****.
