Eh. I'd say there's exceptions. Maybe more to the point of "Don't Punch Down"?
I can laugh all day at the rich/privileged suffering the consequences of their own mistakes.
"Don't Puch down" is good rule to live by.
Maybe the rich/privileged are controlling/influencing so much of our lifes that this counts as your own pain.
No, it really doesn't. It's a kludge to allow hostile humour against people you don't like, while protecting those you do, all while claiming impartiality.
What's a kludge?
An extra complication necessary to make something work. It's generally negative.
