Nihilistic Despair, where nothing matters and you lose joy.
They are here, stuck on despair, convinced humanity will end in their lifetime. Telling my generation that if there is a catastrophe, they will never forgive us, is childishly futile.
Like I said before it is a middle finger. Sometimes conversations start because you tell someone fuck you, and this is a boundary and no I will not accept the boundaries that you think is acceptable.
And at that point of the middle finger or the fuck you comment, you either have resolution or distance. Distance can be okay it is a different way to set boundaries but we need to have the power to say the present is "unbearable" and "dysphoric" and we are not going to take it anymore including saying go fuck yourself.
What we do after that "Ok Boomer" is just as important as having those two words of "I choose No."
Violence, Animosity, Animating energy they are one and the same, the same tools that can be used in different ways. The anima and the animus are one and the same, "the hostility and ill feeling" can lead to "the motivation to do something" or "the motivation to do nothing."

Not allowing one party of a two party conversation to say fuck you, is to force one party to be treated as an object and not as a subject. Likewise if the party the ok boomer is not allowed to respond to these two words that too is treating them as an object and not as a subject.
The words have no meaning except in context of the conversation that occured prior to those two words, and what happens after wards where those two words take place after.
Party of intergenerational is the youth must have the power to be irrelevant to the status quo, for the youth almost always lack power in comparison to the people who came before. Now just because you are older does not mean you have power, but often someone of your age group does have power. That is because the people who came before created the systems we are all now living in.
Shrugs, this is life, this has always been so.
