Be an asshole if you want. Just know that people aren’t gonna let you pretend you’re not hurting people by saying that.
If you can’t find a way to be funny without punching down, you’re just not very funny. Confusing uncomfortable chuckles for genuine mirth is understandable, if it’s all you’ve ever heard.

“Hurting people” I aspire to be as altruistic as you one day.

I think you could fairly easily find a way to tease out a problematic aspect of pretty much any joke or meme.
