5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Semi-closeted racist alarms?
someone that loves to punch down, and with bigotry, not just racism, including a little sexism, and anti-lgbtq+phobia.
Someone who subscribes to the pretentious "punch down" concept & seems so full of themselves they toss around assumptions of "bigotry", "racism", "sexism", "anti-lgbtq+phobia" on the thinnest of evidence perhaps out of insecurity. Basically, anyone who says things that are a bit sanctimonious & haughty rather than cool & thoughtful possibly because they didn't get enough hugs growing up or maybe too many.
Go on and watch some Greg Gutfeld or Jesse Watters, because it seems you need to have examples of "punching down" put before you. You'd have loved you some Rush Limbaugh.
Anytime someone of privilege is mocking anyone less fortunate than they are, that's punching down, and I don't care if you think it's pretentious or not. The pretension here is all yours, bully boy.
Maybe read a book or two besides ones written by fox news personalities or published by tpusa
Anyone who fails to get references & leaps to hasty judgements. Same reason as above.
