    I mean, I wouldn’t respect that either

    I guess I’m trying to just differentiate two different worlds of behavior . Maybe it’s not as big a deal as I make it, but I have a real problem with inconsistency and hypocrisy.

      I have a real problem with inconsistency and hypocrisy.

      I think the term “hypocrite” gets overused, mostly because the standard being followed isn’t always what the label implies.

      If you’re a white supremacist or a simple elitist, then there’s no hypocrisy in doing favors for your white son and fucking over your black student. I don’t think that this lack-of-hypocrisy makes the behavior any more laudable, though.
