I can't tell what you meant.
Mocking a powerful politician is fair game. Indeed, mocking the powerful is a necessary function in a republic or democracy, and should be practiced in direct proportion to the hypocrisy openly demonstrated by the target.
Mocking random members of the public (calling them cucks or faggots in threads on reddit) serves no function.
