You're missing a lot of things here and foisting a lot of the responsibility for filling you in on them. I'm not here for that. If you can't legitimately talk about what Punching Down is (it's apolitical), this isn't a conversation worth having.

I actually can. Name a category on the left that punching down doesn't cover, based on your understanding of it?

Making fun of disabled people is punching down (assuming you're able-bodied). Someone with political clout calling out/insulting someone random private citizen is punching down. I find it a little unbelievable that someone doesn't know what power dynamics are.

I didn't think you would answer, and I was right. I'll try again. Name a category of people on the left that can be made fun of under the the auspices of punching down?

I'm not following you here because your premise is completely wrong that Punching Down is inherently political in nature. It isn't.

It is political in nature, and you're proving it. Name any category on the left, anything you would associate with the left, that would not be covered under the auspices of punching down.

Everything else that I've said, you've been able to respond to within a couple of minutes. But this one seems to have you flummoxed.

Your premise is incorrect. Fix it and ask me again or do some rudimentary Googling on the term "punching down", it's very easy to find examples.

I'm far too familiar with the phrase. I'm also familiar with the idea that when someone can't answer your question, it's because you're very close to the truth. If you could name one category on the left...

What truth are you uncovering here? Here's an example: What if President Obama called Ben Sharpiro a worthless nerd? That's punching down. Even I'd see that. What if Joe Biden started harassing individuals in the pro-life movement? That's punching down.

When was the last time that you criticized Obama or Biden for punching down? Or do you just believe that neither has?

Do you think either of those two (I used them as examples because they're famous and powerful) has engaged in repeated acts of punching down without criticism?
