Hey, you're talking to me as if I wasn't an evil boomer!
That is because you are not being an idiot or condescending the way most Boomers are. You must be one of the exceptions to the rule that I encounter occasionally. My attitude toward Eric the Obtuse and some others is a product of me not suffering fools gladly.
Plenty of people of all generations are idiots, though boomers may be more insistent about any idiotic positions they hold.
Condescension, yes, though GIs also tended to be condescending. Specifically, GIs tended to be condescending when taking positions that they knew - or perhaps "knew" - to be true, but when they didn't know the reasons why those positions were true. Boomers may be condescending even when they do know the reasoning, but just can't be bothered to discuss it.
