I think the point being made here (sub rosa) is: when you become a screwy-hat-wearing fraternal order with charitable rationalizations, you've just become the very thing that you were originally lampooning with tongue-in-cheek self-deprecation. If you're going to start knocking on car windows with buckets in hand, then go the whole hog and get the mini-cars and monkeys, too. It'll be easier to snicker at you that way.
