"OK Boomer" comes to the NZ Parliament and makes all the right people angry

NZ Green Party MP Chle Swarbrick was giving a speech in favour of stricter carbon emissions standards when the 50-year-old National Party Climate Critic Todd Muller heckled her; without missing a beat, she fired back "OK Boomer" and moved on to making a rather good and eloquent point about need for intense action on climate.

Muller's National Party are the authoritarian money-launderers who ruled NZ under John Key, whose party used the Christchurch earthquake as an excuse to ram through their monumentally unpopular copyright/internet disconnection legislation, allowing an MP to hold up aid to people dying under the rubble unless the disconnection law was reintroduced at the same time. Key's Nationals also oversaw the transformation of New Zealand into a financial secrecy haven whose role in global money laundering was revealed by the Panama and Paradise Papers. In the 2017 national elections, the party was destroyed by Jacinda Arden's Labour Party.

"OK Boomer" is a viral zinger deployed by millennials and Gen-Z'ers when they are concern-trolled and mocked by their elders, including (but not limited to) baby boomers (older Xers like Muller are clearly fair game).

Swarbrick's no-eyelashes-batted-nor-fucks-given use of the phrase made a lot of elderly snowlflakes angry, including the noted reactionary William Shatner, who called it "childish," proving Swarbrick's point. Muller tweeted an incoherent vat of weaksauce that focused on the fact that he was too young to be a boomer.

Hilariously, the NZ Parliamentary captioning service transcribed the phrase as "OK, Burma" and later promised to hold weekly meme briefings to prevent a similar occurrence. Read the rest
