That's news to me. I've been vitriolically screwed by more than one
Gen-Xer.
Actually, maybe I see what you mean. Boomers have a culture where you
can argue with each other with vitriolic fervor and still be friends.
But if you argue with a Gen-Xer, then he smiles and doesn't say
anything. But as soon as you turn around, you're on the floor with
your blood spilling all over the place as result of the big knife that
the Gen-Xer shoved into your back when you weren't looking. If you're
still able to look around with your last dying breath, then you can
see that he's still smiling.

No. It was just a one-line comment with no explanation. It's always
stuck in my mind because when I saw the comment about a year ago, I
had no idea what a "globalist scumbag" was, and why I was one, so I
had to ask some people what he meant. I agree that a person who
does that has no clue what he's talking about.
