Wake Up

OK Boomer.

“OK Boomer” is a not so subtle title, which peaks my interests because the irony of the phrase is lost on many who use it. The author maintains a tone as stubborn and dismissive as the phrase she’s talking about, seemingly tired and uninterested but also biased, compare “The old and young are feuding — yet again. Oh bother.” with “They’re right to be angry about coming of age in a world made ugly by selfish choices.” In an attempt to seem objective, but also to take up and justify the phrase without question, or counter-arguments for that matter. One thing I did like was the certainty and challenge, despite the falsehood, in parts like “…the entire episode reads more like an Onion article—complete unintelligent nonsense….” While I did not learn much from the article, it certainly reminded me of the real problem in the world, lack of self-responsibility. Many from Generation Z seek to viciously blame their ancestors, but have no thought as to what they’re doing wrong. It’s like two alcoholics pointing the finger at eachother, whilst the guy who sells them all their alcohol sits in the corner quietly chuckling to himself, that guy being the central bank and bankers in reality.
