The meme is obviously retarded (sorry, punching down) because eg mocking blacks, transsexuals etc you could argue is punching down, but is also punching up against the pieties / sacral status they're given by the dominant cultural moral hierarchy In other words 'punching down' is one of the surest ways to ridicule power in a culture that has norms / rules etc against punching down

@JiffjoffI "Haha, did you know that the best way to ridicule power is not to ridicule those who have power, but to make fun of the people they have power over! I'm a genius."
