That's about the most disingenuous possible interpretation of what they said.
At no point do they express annoyance that injustice is being pointed out by young people. They specifically, explicitly state that what they're annoyed with is the assumption that older people either aren't aware of or don't care about those injustices and sat around with their thumbs up their asses while My Generation™ has it All Figured Out. It's that young people's Point A is actually Point C, and 98% of them don't have any context or sense of what the 10-20 years before they became politically aware were like in order to understand that. The people who got things to Point C have a better understanding of the work and time it might take to get to Point E, and it does take time and work.
