It's a callout for white, well-off people who succeeded by pushing everyone else over, and then pulled the ladder out from under them. It's never been used against literally any elder, just those privileged enough to enjoy fucking over everyone else.

Also "ok bourgeoisie" sounds terrible to say or read.

Even if a person of this group hears someone say that to another person, knowing the intent, I could imagine them feeling at least a little hurt or uncomfortable about it— they could want to distance themself from those who use the phrase.

Even if you don't use it to attack a working class boomer, you're still hurting him by turning his whole group into an insult. How can we built class consciousness this way?

I've never seen anyone genuinely insulted by it other than the people who should feel genuinely insulted by it. People get the meaning.

Using Ok Boomer is the same as using a slur that has always been used to dehumanize entire societies based on skin color.

This is the whitest take on raddle. Congrats. Also, go fuck yourself.
