Actually, no. It’s just supremely lazy. Also silly, disrespectful, counter-productive, and offensive. Hurtful too, but then, that’s the intent. It shows that someone was either too bigoted or just plain stupid to think of anything meaningful to say.
We don’t say inane things like ‘don’t melt snowflake’. Or ‘go to your room’. Or mention that your mother is probably a ‘boomer’. Or point out that most Generation Z-ers or Millennials could never imagine living without their i-technologies that are some of the most polluting items ever created.
Arbitrarily and prejudicially discriminating and dividing ourselves along generational lines only serves to distract us from the real enemy, and from working together for the common good to find solutions to the many problems facing the world.
Why not try to find common grounds to work together? Or at least live and let live? Even if it’s something as light-hearted as cars and in a place like this, and acknowledging that there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’? Just let everyone express whatever automotive opinions and views they like and have fun, without thinking you have the right to pass judgment on other people.
