He didn't really get "assassinated". He just got denied his critical-life benefits.
Pre-existing condition, lead poisoning in a boomer.
This isn't a generational thing. For a start, he's technically Gen X, not a boomer. And secondly, I'm older than him and I'm just as happy about that as everyone else.
(Gen X voted for Trump at a higher rate than boomers)
Which is really really sad. When I was younger I used to think we just need these old people to age out of the system and my generation can do things better. We seem to be doing significantly worse.
That's really sad because the younger someone is the more they are going to be fucked by the long term effects of Donald Trainwreck's enshitification of everything. Nuclear proliferation from the new world disorder, global warming, hyperinflation of the national debt due to gigantic tax cuts for the billionaire elites, hollowing out democracy, normalization of corruption, normalization of routine dishonesty, huge economic inefficiencies that comes with wealth inequality, removal of previous rights like abortion, vast increase in government incompetency, etc
While boomer is deff age, when people refer to it online it largely mind sent reference... that parasite pest leeching on working people and feel entitled to do it, indigent when exposed.
You know the type...
He was actually GenX.
You've seen pictures of him right? Just how fucking young do you think boomers are?
Boomer, n. "A privileged asshole who keeps fucking things up for everyone else."
If that doesn't apply to you, they're not insulting you.
You can't just make up a definition of a word.
That's literally how words are made fam
The OED would liy to know your location.
The OED is quite accepting of multiple definitions that develop over time! They love citing first known usage, it gets them hard as diamonds.
The OED, like all dictionaries, goes by usage. One person using a word in a different way, is never going to make it.
All definitions start somewhere, and, just fyi:
"Ok Boomer" wasn't actually directed at boomers before decrepit millennials stole it from the youths. It was directed at people with the toxic mindset associated with conservativism and "old fashioned" opinions on social issues.
The kinds of asshole that climb up a ladder and kick it down behind them.
Everyone older than me is a boomer.
Everyone younger than me is a zoomer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Exactly... Don't humaniE this parasite. Give him that corpo treatment.
Claim to life denied 🙅
Sympathy witheld until forms can be obtained that prove that the bullet holes were not a pre existing condition.
Most humans are born with orifices, I think that counts.
