I think Tyler misreads this. While he’s right that Boomers are viewed as a force of nature, ‘Ok Boomer’ signals agency to fellow Ms/Zs rather than impotence. I hear it as, “we can just go around these people or run out the clock on them. They no longer matter.https://twitter.com/tylercowen/status/1192502834803040256 …

How is dismissing and denigrating an entire generation of people, for political agency, a good thing in any book? What's next? Kill all the boomers?

You’re missing the passivity of the energy here. It isn’t active kill-all-boo ers energy. It’s passive they’ll-be-dead-soon energy.

I guess it's hard for me to discern that passivity amongst what seems a far more dominant and growing hostility and disdain the woke left have towards everyone else.

This is NOT a woke left thing... it's a youth thing. It is much too passive a tack for the woke left, which remember is an ideological subset that cuts across generations. This is the younger, ideologically apathetic (but not neutral) superset.
