Yes, and the punching up and punching down thing has always been largely bullshit, and shows a complete lack of knowledge of the history of comedy, and unsurprisingly always comes from those on the left and basically amounts to "the right are big baddies therefore their jokes are mean and ours are noble because are cause is noble". In other words, it's self-satsifying nonsense. It also laughably makes out like those on the left are forever 'not in control', and always fighting the good fight against authoritarianism, also bullshit.
