Memes and hashtags multiply with “OK Boomer” (or #OKBoomer), a sarcastic slap from Gen Z to mock their elders who created this mess — whether that’s climate change, wars, political division, economic hardship, lack of health care, and more. Bill Whittle thinks it’s funny…at first. #EpicRant warning. #OKSnowflake

Well it IS a little bit their parents’ fault that they can’t add and “can’t” show up to work on time, or do their laundry, etc. Their parents spoiled them.
But again, ok. So here you are now. What are you going to do about it? Complaining about it will not improve their situation.
I remember in my mid 20’s complaining to my brother about our upbringing and the injustices I and my brothers endured due to our situation … he said exactly that to me.
Ok, all of that’s true. What are you going to do NOW?
Never forgot that.
Pretty smart for a younger brother đ
“So … what are you doing about it, Snowflake?”
New Zealand MP drops an “Ok Boomer” in response to a heckling colleague during legislative debate. Watch it.
Scott, hatâs off to you for triggering such an epic rant! You tell âem, Bill. Give them hell!
Cleveland Cuyahoga River — Actually caught fire and burned .. nothing like that recently (that I know of or can remember) just sayin’ —- oops, posted this before Bill referenced it .. listen to whole thing next time… just apologizin’
Gonna get me a T shirt “I’m a Deplorable Boomer – Suck it up !” Love it !! Just sayin’
Some things never change: You will eventually die. You will pay taxes. The nest generation isn’t old enough to know much about life and they don’t value their elders, and the older generation always thinks the younger generation is stupid and making things go to hell. We older folks are all grumpy (we can’t stop the young from making obvious mistakes), and the younger ones think they know-it-all and resent being forced to conform to old paradigms. This is true for every generation in history. I actually think this is pretty normal and may even be healthy. Remember, all the millennials will have their own “next” generation to deal with soon enough, too, and they’ll be the old grumpy ones by then. And that is always the oldest generation’s ultimate revenge. ;-D
Speaking as a late-term Gen-Xer who has spent 20 years teaching Millenials and Gen-Zers, I can’t stand any of you! Boomers were the self-entitled inheritors of the work and sacrifices of the Greatest Generation who refused to give up on their civilzation-destroying 1960s delusions while refusing to step aside when their time was up (notice how all the leading presidential candidates in 2019 are STILL Boomers!). They did ruin everything with post-modernism, the sexual revolution, and secular humanism.
Millenials are, by and large, even more self-entitled than the Boomers and abjectly helpless to boot! Not only that, they are entirely un-curious about anything outside of the limited bubble that makes up what they believe to be their expansive universe. They don’t care to learn what they don’t already know, have no use for traditions or civilizational foundations (which Boomers have taught them to blame for everything they see as wrong with the world), and actively vilify alternate points of view.
The Gen-Zers are not much better than the Millennials, although they will be forced to become more self-reliant as their late adolescence and early adulthood will coincide with the collapse manufactured by the Boomers while the Millenials will have been useless as role models.
we don’t tell conservative stories.
Bill has said it a thousand times.
for example:
who has the option on these stories?
They should be turned into movies!!!

Guardians of the Flame is a long-running series by author Joel Rosenberg
The series is about a group of college students who participate in a fantasy role-playing game, and are magically transported to the world of the game by their gamemaster.
The first book, The Sleeping Dragon, focuses on the former students struggling to survive in the world of the game. The series progresses with the students choosing to live in the ‘game world’ and forming their own community, which is in part based on opposition to the ubiquitous slave trade.
The Flame is the flame of freedom.
Book two is explicit in describing supply and demand, and incentives, while good guys go after slavers, not for gain, but to make slavery more expensive, and allow Free market trade of your own labor a greater possibility.
This generation’s Archie Bunker! And the Millennials are Meathead (did he ever have a real name?)

Perhaps Iâve been too broad in my castigation of John Q Public. So, let me clarify. The reason this nation has made this generation less âwell offâ than previous generations is due in large part to the lack of discernment and poor moral character of John Q Boomer. But, it doesnât end there. The reason this nation will continue its downward spiral is due in large part to the lack of passing down good moral character to the Gen Z Millennial Snowflakes from John Q Boomer. âMENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSINâ is getting more distinct with each passing year. There. Happy?
Since my middle name is already “It’sallmyfault,” I am officially changing my name to OK It’sallmyfault Boomer. Just call me “OK”.
I agree with your rant Bill. However, we did not seem to find a method to pass that information along did we? It all comes back to education doesn’t it? (LOL) The democrats beat us again! BTW, I came home one day and when I got off the school bus I saw the firemen trying to extinguish a fire on the Cayuga river (one of 13 fires) which ran past my house. Had to walk around the fire trucks to get to my home. And I lived in a “good” neighborhood!
Hmm, I’m not sure that anyone who actually lived there would forget that it was the CUYAHOGA river.
You are correct of course. It has been more years than I want to admit. I guess I was about six or seven at the time and we lived at the end of the road in a cul-de-sac. The house backed onto a park. I used to fish in the river for large carp. The fire I remember preceded the one in 1969. It was probably 1963. My friend at the time was Joey Dibble(?) and we used to play chess in his family’s bomb shelter. How is that for cool? LOL
The schadenfreude is strong w/ this vid. This is the exact same thing the Boomers were saying about their parents and grand parents back in the 60s.
Not to worry. Everything looks easier when you’re not in charge.
They will learn because reality is a very effective teacher.
Or they’ll get rolled by a more confident (that’s a low bar) culture.
I would love to point out to those Gen Zs who support Leftist Democrats and their policies, that the very people they support are the root cause of nearly everything they’re upset about. The Leftists are responsible for the horrible physical and economical condition of our major Democrat run cities and states; they are responsible for the higher costs of healthcare through the intentional destruction of our healthcare system via Obamacare; they are responsible for the bringing back of racism and division of our nation when that was nearly eradicated, etc. Those kids who are so upset NEED to know who is actually responsible for what’s upsetting them.
I’d like to be as articulate as Bill in his take-downs of those self-righteous busy bodies who feel it is their obligation to tell everyone else what to do. Where in fact they lack the maturity and the wisdom to know the mere fact that there is a lot they do not know. Unfortunately, I lack the quick wit, the time and the crayons to explain it to the millennials. Now then, GET OFF MY LAWN! đ
“The older generation screwed everything up, we need to tear it all down, start over, and finally make a paradise on earth.” Seems like I’ve heard that before. Maybe every one of those t-shirts should come with a mirror.
hey guys
first – it is a good video,
but you need to assume that there may be someone who hears that hashtag for the first time
(usually – you do, but here you kind of missed it)
so, it was a bit of a struggle for me, but …
well …
its a good video
cheers đ
What could we have done to ameliorate that shortcoming, Amos?
Hi Scott
first – i do appreciate the time you took to respond – it is really not something i take as trivial
now, as you know, i am not from the USA, thus our culture has other issues, and this is why it is so fun for me just to take a 15 minute journey to your culture, get your take on things, in your language and then come back home, and it’s real fun, but this journey needs to begin with some explanation / introduction, otherwise (in this case) it felt like i stayed at home, watching something that i try to relate to …
and it took me (i think) more than half of this episode to understand the issue, and relate to the content
but, as I mentioned – usually – you do that, it’s just this time that you missed it,
no biggie
keep doing what you do,
it’s great
Thanks
Amos
I am old enough to remember the mantra of the 1960s: “Don’t trust anyone over 30.” I thought then that eventually each one of them will eventually be over 30 and then should not be trusted. Even better, some of them won’t make it to 30 making the issue of trust moot. I made it to be much older than 30 (now 82) and watched as my prediction came true.
The problem with the youth today is they have been given too much and really didn’t have to work for it. Then, when things get a little tougher, it is the end of the universe. Why? Because they believe history began when they were born and don’t have to learn anything about old dead people and how they lived. Then, because times are tough and the youth become adults, they actually have to work for their living and earn it. Sadly, too few are actually able to meet the requirements.
That’s been true for every generation for at least the past 50 years…
Eventually, life trains them: they get a job to be able to support themselves (some don’t, they live in their parent’s basements), they marry and have families and learn to take on that responsibility, and they become their own parents… the cycle of life continues…
I suggest it has been true for almost every generation since the first civilization was developed. Prior to that time the Darwin Effect generally eliminated them from the gene pool before they could breed. After that, not as much.
However, now as always, 10% of the population makes things happen, 20% help that 10%, the next 40% watches what happens, and the remaining 30%, at most only notice that something happened. That is assuming they can get past “Duh….”
Hey! When you boomers are gone, WE’LL be stuck w/ these idiot kids!
-Generation Screwed.
Dumb-ass snot-nosed kids. We’ve been ticked about boomers since the 80’s. But, ya know… *shrug*
