Further proof that intergenerational criticism in either direction is dumbass bullshit.
Ok, boomer

What sort of conversations are you having with your gf?
TheEntity@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Unlike their boomer ancestors, the current generations talk with their partners about all sorts of things, not just about sex and dinner. Almost as if they are not only sexual partners but also close friends that understand each other.
TL;DR: Ok, boomer.

TIL my under 25 peers are unsophisticated because dinner and sex is about all they talk about.

Just wait - Millennials and Gen-Z - until there’s a war and an active draft in the US again.
Venezuela anyone? (Dear God, I hope not but the current asshat in the Oval Orfice seems bent on taking a page from the Monroe Doctrine and adding teeth. Gotta justify Kegsbreath’s trillion dollar DOD budget plans after all…)
Shit’s gonna get VERY real and you may gain a bit of insight as to why 'boomers just gave up and “went condo” as they used to say.

There will never be another draft. Our military is to big, and we aren’t going to try to occupy anything. Drones knock down our deployment numbers drastically. Unless there was actually a war with someone like China or on our own soil, there is no need. We currently have about 2 million people already volunteered. Our largest force during the Afghanistan/Iraq bologna was around 100k. So we could send 10x that and not get into the reserves. Our military is way to damn big

The military also doesn’t want to go back to a draft army. Discipline and morale suck with a draft army and there is severe political blowback to casualties from drafted personnel.
A lot of reforms post Vietnam were made to make sure that the US military didn’t need to draft.

Dude, peole have been using that on 4chan since 2015 or earlier to tell people that they were out of touch with current affairs or the state of the world. Wasn’t aimed like that.
Making up your own history to throw hate is such a boomer thing to do.

Failures in education and misunderstanding aren’t unique to any one generation.
Think about how the right wing genz have completely abandoned gender and racial equality and are voting against green politicians.
Think about how millennials have embraced AI and get their news from corporate-controlled social media despite all the evidence for its harmful effects on democracy and critical thinking. The millennials who support the genocide in Gaza.
People aren’t convinced by the fakeness of modern media and want to believe what they already believe. That’s something that’s affecting all the generations.
You can call me a boomer and you’d be wrong.

It isn’t just a failure in education or misunderstanding.
For the most part, “OK Boomer” gets used when someone is expressing something as fact which may have used to be true, but no longer is. Maybe the use of the term has shifted over time, but that was the crux of that use.
