For conservatives, hypocrisy is a flex. It shows that they don't feel bound by the rules they expect you to follow. They don't see it as inconsistent because they think they're better than you.

@SallyStrange@eldritch.cafe They don't believe in rules and freedom, only in opression and privileges. They just use the wrong words, but other than that they are very consistant.

@SallyStrange@eldritch.cafe I think conservatives are sometimes hypocritical just for laughs. They like to troll progressives.

@SallyStrange@eldritch.cafe I always see it as the consequence of starting from the conclusion you already believe and working backwards. Facts (or “facts”) are hastily grabbed as needed—whatever’s closest—to support that endpoint. They give facts as much consideration as you would a doorstop. “Is it heavy enough to hold the door open? Yes? Then that’s all I care about.”

@SallyStrange@eldritch.cafe “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
