A 25-year-old New Zealand lawmaker on Tuesday offered a blunt response to a colleague who apparently heckled her during a speech she gave addressing the urgency of climate change on the floor of Parliament: “OK, boomer.”
Chlöe Swarbrick, a member of the Green Party, expressed the statement as she emphasized how the consequences of climate change will fall on people of her generation.
As she expressed support for legislation to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, Swarbrick noted how she would be around the age of the average lawmaker in Parliament by that time.
"We are in a climate crisis, if we don't get this right, nothing else matters. ... In the year 2050, I will be 56 years old, yet right now the average age of this 52nd Parliament is 49 years old," she said, prompting what appears to be an audible gasp and a heckle.
Swarbrick then raised her hand before replying "OK boomer" and moving on with her speech. It is unclear who Swarbrick was directing the remark toward.

ok, boomer.
Sounds kinda familiar...
It was some Red Diaper Doper Baby boomer Marxist who infected all of these kids’ minds anyhow.
Wild in the Streets
That's the one I couldn't recall.
Maoists in China and Cambodia targeted elders who were decades younger than 70. The US Marxists of the 60s 70s held similar “kill your parents and teachers” views.
Please listen to her. The Hobbits are endangered!!

“They are gearing up for murdering people when they reach a certain age. Only people with sufficient “social credit” will be exempt. Everyone else will be required to report to a “end of life facility” upon reaching some arbitrary age (70).
That’s why they want the guns. They can’t have some “boomer” Vietnam Vet taking a few of the precious millennials with “social credit” with them on the way out.“
Statements like these were tin foil hat material as few as ten years ago. Now, not so much.
First time I heard ‘OK Boomer ‘ I thought they thought they were talking to a nuclear submarine crew member.
Guess my age is showing
“Ok, child. You’ve had your misinformed say.”
I think there’s movie about a dog named Boomer...
Meanwhile the prime minister of NZ is a gun grabbing liberal female who is unmarried and shacking up with the father of her children...
some “moral” type of example for the younger NZers...
So is iggering someone’s triggers, I suppose. :P
hush, adults are talking
‘OK, boomer’
SOONER!
Well, it was in response to a heckler
