I'm with you right up to the ageism. The folks who persecuted Aaron were older than him, but they were not boomers, and what they did had nothing to do with his age or theirs.
Bigotry is always wrong.
Boomer is a mindset.
Fine. Use a word for it that isn't a bigoted slur.
Boomer isn't a slur.
When it is used to denigrate a "mindset" that you don't like, it is most certainly a slur. When used to refer to folks who were born between 1945 and 1960, it is not.
We've all agreed (almost all) to stop using the word retarded to refer derogatorily to folks who do not have that medical condition.
Any word can be used as a slur.
Any word can be used as a slur? Really? Please explain what a slur is to you. I agree that every word can be used as an insult, you absolute Brokkoli, but that's down to tone and context, more than anything, isn't a slur more than that?
