It's like how class warfare is only when the poor fight back.

The group that's first to offend is rarely aware of it. The same phenomenon is readily observable in race and gender relations where "everything's fine" until the "uppity" out-group starts fighting back. It's a form of privilege, and "old white guy" is like the trifecta with "old" in there for a reason.

Generations are not classes. They span classes.
