@0x49fa98 The young have the comfort of dreams; the old, the comfort of regret; and the middle-aged, the discomfort of hope.

@BenjaminABoyce The ‘punch up, not down’ rule is self-undermining.

It creates a new hierarchy in which those we can punch up at are put below those we cannot punch down on.

It therefore turns protected targets into permissible targets and permissible targets into protected ones.
