If you come at Captain Kirk with an “OK Boomer” you better be prepared to be boomed

The TL;DR version - Shatner will hand you your arse if you try coming at him on social media
LINK
quote:
Star Trek actor William Shatner waded into a generational row last night as he took aim at the catchphrase 'OK Boomer' and feuded with a Twitter user who had blamed older people for millennial 'hardships'.
quote:
Shatner, 88, is not a Baby Boomer - the generation born in the aftermath of World War II - but the phrase has been used mockingly against older people in general.
His Twitter row erupted on Wednesday after he had sent a mocking tweet to another user in a separate conversation.
One user, going by the name of Billie E, responded with the clapback: 'OK Boomer'.
Her has fewer than 200 followers and the tweet earned only eight likes, but Shatner quickly seized on the jibe.
quote:
'Sweetheart, that's a compliment for me,' he wrote, triggering a largely supportive response from his followers.
Billie E defended herself, saying she was 'not really into pejoratives, but what's the term for people when they can't interpret a joke?'.
Shatner could not resist another dig at that, answering: 'Millennials?'.
quote:
Another user, Courtney DeCamp, defended the term by saying it was not applied to all older people but only to 'ignorant ones'.
Shatner waded in again, asking: 'And just what are we ignorant about Courtney?
'We don't understand struggles? War? Depressions (economic not personal)? Inflation? Double digit Prime Interest rates?'.
DeCamp retorted that millennials had inherited 'hardships [which] are not their fault' and which many older people did not understand.
But Shatner was having none of it, asking: 'Is that all your generation does is point fingers and blame others for their pity parties?'
quote:
'You don't get a participation trophy for life; you take what you get and play your best hand. It's been that way since forever,' he said.
quote:
DeCamp went on to ask Shatner 'why are you so offended by a phrase that can't possibly pertain to you' because of his age.
'I said I'd wear that badge with honor,' Shatner replied last night - several hours after the row had first erupted.
quote:
'Unlike you; the generations designation doesn't define me nor am I too worried about getting labeled because it makes no difference to me.
'You seemed to be obsessed; blaming other gens. Some millennials are pushing 40. You aren't kids.'

It’s simply another attempt of the progressive underbelly of America to belittle and discard older people in this country because they vote differently than the underbelly wants them to.
“If those fricking old people would just die we could get what we want.”

Whoa now, Captain. I'm pushing 40 and I'm Gen X, not a millenial.

Are boomers really the ones making those? I thought we were too stupid, too technologically inept, and too busy grabbing all the advantages of life to have time to do stuff like that.

hasnt every generation complained about the succeeding generations for all of eternity?

Yes. Mentally weakest generation ever.

the commonality of this are the "ok Boomers" who think millennials are 40-12 yeas old.

A lot of the OK Boomer stuff has been fun
But now it's just taken over by useless people who whine about home ownership and how the American Dream isn't real because an 180k psychology degree won't allow them to live the life they want in Brooklyn
