That makes it even more funny, because boomers would complain about how hard it was for them, yet it was their parents that changed things for the better. Then when their kids talked about improving more, they told them to shut up.

WTF are you talking about?
Boomers were born between 1945 and 1965.
They had the eight hour day handed to them.
Please stop using ‘boomer’ for anything that happened before 1970.

If anything Boomers had it easiest when it came to finding a job and paying bills or a college education. Ever generation after had and has to go into stupid amounts of debt because the jobs did not keep up with inflation after the Vietnam War ended.

It’s not being used on just everything predating 1970, it’s “anything I don’t like is boomers”.
Be a millennial and think that social media is toxic, addictive (because of all the studies showing that it’s toxic and addictive) and should it have restrictions to limit its influence, especially to children?
“ok boomer!”

Civil War Boomers didn’t know how good they had it.

I get what you mean, memes like these still contribute to knowledge and consensus.
Today there are wars fought out with propaganda in forms of memes like these

I'm going to both sides it and say we need quick humor and facts. That's some mighty fine context that you've added

I think the education on just how much the boomers were given from the previous generation and how little they passed on to the next generation while acting like they worked for anything and were entitled to everything should be repeated as often as possible.

Consoder that shitposts are the probably the largest form of media consumed and mis- or disinformation spreads quickly, regardless of medium.

No it isn’t, it’s a rant in a shitpost community.
