Punching down 

How can I be punching down when you think the people I'm talking about are better than me? You are trying to turn this into a popularity contest because you know that I will lose and you are generalizing and decontextualizing everything I say.
A fucking retard "Uh, I don't like bullies, uuuuh... I'm definitely not doing it because the things he said apply to me and mean that I'm a retarded, morally bankrupt piece of shit uuhhh. Yeah, the thing."

Hym "It's about submission and it's about getting me to accept the bullshit you say regardless of whether or it's true. It can't be punching down if you think the people being punched are above me (conceptually). You think she is fucking the retard explicitly because the retard is better than me. You think I'm a bad man and that bad men are worse than women. How is that punching down to you? You cannot think the thing you are claiming to think. If being an assburger is a super power, how am I punching down? The only way for me to be punching down is for me to be better than everyone I'm punching."
