How about, “No?”
I get your complaint here but you’re also blatantly ignoring:
-
The treatment of Millennials (and their younger cohorts) by their elders has been pretty bad, frankly; it’s not a secret to anyone at all. Yes, each aging generation has similar attitudes; sorry, not an excuse. Shitty behavior is shitty, period.
-
The problems Boomers have directly caused and/or contributed to, and then feel free to lecture others about. No, you don’t get to pull your “wise elder” card, as an apologist for climate change inaction. Just no. ESPECIALLY not by talking down to a young lady, whom you thought (quite wrongly!) you were going to buffalo.
In the “offending” clip above, she responded with a mild retort that shut down a rather rude interjection by an ageist jackass. Complaining — when he got exactly what he deserved — is, in fact, more “OK Boomer”-deserving bullshit. Spare us the pearl-clutching over her ageism, real or not, if you would.
In other words, you get the respect you give.
