Uhh, they should have covered this in school even if your parents neglected to do so, but here you go.

That's punching down.

You imply they're stupid or ignorant. You imply their parents didn't teach them life lessons and you do all that while speaking down to them like you're better than them. They clearly didn't get the joke and instead of elucidating them you go on this tirade about how it's ok to be a jerk if you're making a joke. It's not.

I really feel like you missed my original intent, and now you’re just so dug in, and refusing to back off. The joke was fucking got, I promise

That's a fun way to out your alt account bud.

Let me get this straight, I was punching down on myself? I don’t mean to make assumptions, but I used to be angry all the time. It was poison to every relationship I attempted to build, which only made me angrier and more alone. I only managed to sever the loop by changing my environment, and therefore the people I was interacting with. I hope you can find something that works for you.

Hit up your local food bank to find the kindest, most endearing people to sublimate into your being.

You fuckin drama queen.

You just outed your alt. All you had to say this whole time is that you used an alt to setup your joke at which point I'll again say bad joke and that seems like look loser shit especially when you could kill the drama with like 5 words right off the bat you'd just lose face because of it.

I sincerely wish you all the best. My heart sinks further with every syllable, because I know you better than I wish I did. If you ever reach the point where you recognize that you need a starting point, shoot me a DM. Not an alt, by the way.
