Boomers being so confidently wrong
It truly blows my mind how common this is with them and how widely acknowledged it is by younger generations. Boomers will be blatantly wrong and when you point out how they’re wrong with logic, they retort to some form of dismissing you based on your age with a “listen youngin, just trust me bro I’m older.”
I see it on Reddit and Facebook constantly. I’m in groups for my various hobbies, I see a boomer say something blatantly wrong, I nicely correct them, I get a bunch of thumbs up reacts while they get a bunch of laughing reacts, multiple people chime in to tell the boomer they’re wrong as well, they still don’t get it and just resort to making such an illogical point and then call me “youngin”. It’s as if the ability to recognize they’re wrong and learn when corrected doesn’t exist in that generation. They just dismiss and resort to “age= unobjectionable knowledge.”
I’d love to hear theories on why this generation is so predisposed to this.
