I’m sure you have.

This argument has gone massively away from my original point now.

For the last few years ‘snowflake generation was used to describe millennials’.

And as i said, the spreading of "snowflake" has been used amongst internet chat rooms and forums between millennials and millenials, not boomers.

Boomers only recently became aware of it's usage, but using it as an insult wasn't started by them.

I KNOW.

I’ve got that lol.

The older generation have used to for a few years and are now behaving like one themselves. That’s all I’m saying.

What the fuck is a ‘normie’ anyway?

Another term millennials use for mocking others. Usually done to acknowledge as someone with a lack of internet cultural references. Like of you don't know what "YEET" means or in which context to say it in, you'd be classed as a 'normie'.

Boomers haven't made much influence on internet culture, aside from being the FOF for most of the memes that exist.

It’s not just the internet though is it?

The US President and other politicians have used ‘snowflake’.

People have said it in TV interviews and debates, panel shows and on the street during marches.

You’re taking my point and only applying it to the internet.

The irony is the snowflake generation took it better than the boomers.

Doesn't mean the Trump era is responsible for it's spread.

If anything it was embarrassing hearing them say it. Like a British TV celebrity saying "fo' shizzle". (Or the Harlem Shake craze... fuck)
The "Snowflake generation" didn't take it better... that was the whole point of the term. The more it was used against snowflakes, the angrier they got, the funnier it became, the more it was used, so they got even angrier and the cycle grew and grew.

Using it against Boomers now is more of a "no, YOU are" response. Even "Boomer" has taken on a new meaning, just like the "Karen Generation".

Millennials are whining fuckers in some quarters, I look at people my age, slightly older and younger and often see a lack of respect and class, in some quarters entitlement and in others there’s an ultra-liberal group of professional protesters and offense junkies.

However, the response to ‘ok boomer’ has been hilarious. I’ve human rights being mentioned lol.

Well apart from the "underfunding" being your arbitrary desire rather than any absolute measure and apart from the fact that we have had 9 years of austerity where everything has had to be squeezed.... Apart from all of that, you say millions like you will have no problems with "our money" being spent....?

"Our money" is already being spent. In fact it's being more than spent. We're spending £50bn extra every year more than we actually have to spend, already. So who do you think should be paying more? Do you think YOU should be paying more? YOU personally? Or just "someone else". Maybe you need a good accountant like Bob, so you can avoid any tax increases.

You have two morbid fears - tax and Jeremy Corbyn. Clearly from your posts you are not happy with either. You think you pay enough of the former and fear the latter because you worry he wouldn't agree with you. You remind me of Private Fraser in the episode " The Misers Hoard ".
