boomerism
Where it comes from
From boomer + -ism.
noun
- A 19th century movement which campaigned for the extension of the American frontier. Boomerism, then, was the most recent expression of the westering American spirit.
- An optimistic form of American capitalism that focuses on one industry. So I side with the mystics and think that the mechanists are caught in the boomerism of American hypercapitalism and are simply hawking their wares. In this unreflective boomerism of American hypercapitalism, one has to hype one's project to attract venture capital.
- The behaviours and attitudes of baby boomers. Be warned against the tendency to build your young lives around anti-boomerism. In the end, it will be you that gets hurt, not the boomers.
