I notice that the rules of whenever or not it's ok to make fun of certain people is very arbitrary.

Sometimes I hear voices of "you're only allowed to strike above", like that you're not allowed to mock those who are below you in the terms of the class system. You can only make fun of people above you. But then as soon as someone mocks some Hollywood celebrity, it's not ok either, because "making fun of people just because they're rich is bad too", which really sounds weird coming from people who preach socialism.... Also seeing high city folk make fun of people in very rural areas comes off wrong too, because .... how can these high-society folk claim to be "striking upward" when mocking the poor.

I guess it's another case of "I am allowed to make fun of anyone I want, because I am so smart, and I have the right to arbitrarily say that other people do not have the same rights as me, when what they say doesn't suit me, because they are stupid, not intelligent, their jokes are mean, hurtful, and should be censored"


Sorry, just got reminded of that again and felt like rambling
