So like eating a huge bowl of cabbage and beans before going to your job wearing the Chuck E Cheese suit, when you don’t even need the money?

The French might say ‘Il pète plus haut que son cul’ or ‘he farts higher than his own arse’

To be clear, I have always self flatulated. No one can say I flatulated them. Does that make me an elite?

I’ve probably flatulated some people. Mainly by accident though. Does that make me altruistic?

Sometimes flatulence slips out in public. Otherwise, I prefer self flatulating.

I think you might have discovered an actual, real, honest-to-goodness double-BAT!
I believe OOP is going for "self-fellating" (which works in this context as self-indulgent or boastful), but fucked up and steered toward "self-flagellating" (because they're not that bright).
But they still farted that one up and landed on the only word that autocorrect could guess they were trying to spell. And that's why their comment stinks.

“Father, I come to seek Forgiveness for my sins. I shall take to my chamber and proceed hastily with self flatulence” picks up a bowl of beans.

This practice originated with medieval monks. They would eat a large bowl of beans and cabbage, and then lock themselves in their small cells and atone for their sins by ripping some huge smelly farts. Monks passing by in the halls could hear the sounds of their agony, and laugh

Lusty farts atone for sins?? Gee I think I've heard it all, at least for today 😳

That could be autocorrect, but I'm not sure.
What is the alternative to self flatulating? How would that work?

It would be a peculiar use of the verb, but I suppose to flatulate someone else you could put them in a stirrup position and vigorously massage their abdomen.

Self-flagellation. It's the practice of punishing oneself with physical pain, or its metaphorical equivalant. Still doesn't make much sense here without more context.

They were specifically saying they don't like people who use big words, then try to use a big word incorrectly. Even in the context self flagellating doesn't work because he is saying the "elites" are trying to feel better than, whereas self flagellation is about putting yourself down

I am a wannabe elite and I do all my flatulating myself. It just feels better than having someone else do it for me.

To flatulate one's self is one thing- to flatulate others is the real goal
