“Western” is the dominant paradigm for many (some in China might disagree? That empire is maybe just having a cat-nap), so taking the piss out of Western society seems a fine thing, especially since much of the climate trouble we’re in is due to Western ways of thinking and doing (this is largely the culture I was raised in).

Much like it’s not really a thing to be racist against those who identify as White; they’re in power and might be expected to have the wherewithal to take it without getting defensive.

Another more palatable example might be “roasting” celebrities; would it be okay to pick on in such a way those far lower on the economic ladder as they struggle to meet their basic needs in the face of generational stress and trauma?
