A word some
ignorant, emotionally undisciplined,
arrogant young
people use to dismiss valid, logical evidence-supported points made by someone a bit older than them.
22 year old: "Capitalism is
bullshit, it's a system where billionaires live in luxury off the hard work of workers who get paid slave wages. It's time to get rid of the obscenely wealthy 1% and spread their wealth to the hard working
people!
Socialism is the answer!
32 year old: "Billionaires typically don't steal their wealth (except maybe for Russian oligarchs), billionaires like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk got rich by giving
people what they wanted. They started huge companies that created thousands of jobs and improved technology for the masses. They earned their money by offering millions of
people products and services (and jobs), and the
people voluntarily accepted. There was no robbery taking place, which is what you're advocating: robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
22 year old: "ok boomer" (in other words, I have no rational response to what you said so I'll just draw draw attention to the fact that you're older than me. I don't know how age is relevant but I don't want to admit that you're right because my tender delicate little ego won't permit it. )
