One reason I resonate strongly with ok boomer, even though I don’t actually feel that way about boomers, is that I strongly approve of the tactic. At a personal level, I use it so much it’s my default conflicting protocol. Dismissive avoidant soft-bozobitting.

Key feature is I approve of, and encourage, being treated this way as well. This is a symmetric transaction protocol. Golden Rule compliant.

Interesting that Boomers get dismissed though the majority of wealth and political power is held by Boomers. I thought about how Fight the Power, Fight the Man had a much different spirit and target than Ok, Boomer

I see it slightly differently (and a lot more pessimistically). To me the takeaway is: I don't care how you were raised, how tolerant your group claims to be -- someone WILL find an outgroup, a way to stigmatize it, a set of stereotypical insults. 1/
