This reminds me of a heuristic I heard about once, about "punching up" and "punching down". I heard about it used in a stand-up comedy context but it seems to make sense in a lit of other places as well. Punching down almost always seems unjust, punching up almost always seems just.
Pretty much, it's a good rule of thumb.
