    Not all "boomers" (I'm not one, just to reiterate, but I know them, well) are the same.

    That would be like me pigeonholing all kids under 30 into one single group.

    Hmm but the difference is people like me will open up our minds and walk you through why we label you those terms even if you disagree.

    You just use buzzwords. You don't have the capability to explain your accusations.

    ATW is a fascist ad he is right that a lot of liberals, moderates and leftists are using the term "fascist" more. But that's because fascism is rising and I have plenty of posts of my thoughts on why. I don't do hit and run "you are a fascist" takes. I always explain why.

    Yup and how many times have I defined what I sincerely believe is fascism to you? And how many times your response is "lol you don't know what you are talking about " or something along those lines without any explanation?

    Look I know you are a busy CEO but if you are going to make claims try to give your reasonings. I try my best in that regard.

    "Boomer" means an entire generation. It's dumb. There are "boomers" over every socio/politico/economico/racial demographic you could imagine.

    I wouldn't use that as a slur (which you do) any more than I would use anything else to describe and bunch together a massive group of people based solely on whatever you decided

    Ya I wouldn't call someone a boomer as an insult. Characteristics you have no control over I don't like having insult terms for.

    Baby-boomer refers to a generation.

    Boomer is more or less is used to describe someone who uses outdated thinking or is oblivious to modern or progressive ideas.
