> i treated a boomer the exact same way they treated me and i got banned from my family reunion lmao. i don't understand why there are so many people like this. this is not only a boomers problem, but it seems that almost every boomers are like that, as opposed to like 50-60% of other people. boomers will often talk to you like you're a stupid child for some reason. they will think you know nothing just because you're young and they know everything just because they're old, and everything that comes out of their mouths when you're discussing about a disagreement with them (whether it is about politics, finances, or pretty much anything) is from a viewpoint that they're superior, for some magical reason.  and as you said, if you have a spine you will just talk to them and/or treat them the same way that they do to you, and when you do that, they will never accept it. and not only that, but all the boomers around you will also not accept it and will see you as an impolite little shit, when in reality all you did was talk to the boomers the same way they always talked to you.  boomers are really something else man. i don't know if it's their ipads that melted their brain, or maybe something else, but there's definitely something wrong with them. in the past, being old was equated with knowledge and wisdom, and nowadays they're just old toddlers.
