Conservative hypocrisy


Do conservatives realize just how hypocritical they are when they complain about how the left politicizes everything, liberal media bias, fake news, political correctness, identity politics, cancel culture, etc.? They have their own version of all of this.

Whether right or left, when it comes to ideology and belief, some portion are sheep that don't quite see it, following along with the group, but most of the politicians and media elites are fully aware (or, at least, go for what's most politically beneficial, even if contradictory).

Can you provide some examples for posterity?

Leftists don't do that.

I've been noticing this for years. Masters of projection, but can't explain said projection if their sad, pathetic little lives depended on it.

Any liberal criticizing a conservative for being a “hypocrite” is by definition a “hypocrite”

I’ll do my best to explain. When a leftist calls a conservative a “hypocrite” it’s akin to the “pot calling the kettle black”. It’s the “Do as I say, not what I do.” syndrome.


"The pot calling the kettle black" is a proverbial idiom that may be of Spanish origin, of which English versions began to appear in the first half of the 17th century.””The idiom is glossed in the original sources as being used by a person who is guilty of the very thing of which they accuse another and is thus an example of psychological projection, or hypocrisy.”

ok , that makes some sense , thanks.

Although I dont agree that one hypocrite calling out another hypocrite automatically makes them a hypocrite , person A would have to already be a hypocrite for other reasons.

reply

It is confusing. “You are a hypocrite because you called me a hypocrite.” I think I’ll let MovieChatUser497 expound further.

Sad politics have literally become a sports team. You root for your side even when they are in the wrong. This applies to both the left and the right. SMH! It is why I am happy I have duel citizenship. America has gone down the tube.

reply

Pretty much, just watch Fox News and you will see the bias if not fear mongering rhetoric (trust me, I watch both channels). Both sides do this because elites need to control the downtrodden dumbos aka the masses so they can live their luxurious lives. Bread and circus entertainment. Get them fighting each other so they ignore the top folks unless the top folk is opposition towards more power.

I have to disagree with you on this one, Rorikon.

”liberal media bias, fake news, political correctness, identity politics, cancel culture”

The libs own all of the above. Case in point: the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. Arseholes at an Arizona university are protesting against Kyle attending.

“The wheel which squeaks the loudest gets the grease!”

They don’t come any louder than the drumbeat of CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, the race warlords, the new alphabet soup gang, the bitch squad, etc. Over and over the lie about Trump saying Covid-19 is a hoax. The lie Trump said to inject ourselves with bleach, etc. An SUV killed 5 people and injured over 40 instead of the actual truth! A Black BLM member did what BLM does best besides Burning and Looting,…Murdering! The media should have said “A Black scumbag murdered 5 people and injured over 40.”

Recall what the media did to Richard Jewel?

Still waiting for examples.......

Liberals dominate. Conservatives are just fighting back. Conservatives wouldn't have to engage in propaganda if the left was honest and objective.

reply

Not surprised the OP was unable to produce an example.

Figured it would be the usual abortion/death penalty argument.

reply

No they do not.

There is no institutional media groups that back the right under ANY circumstances.
No, Not even FOX news does that. Almost any left leaning rag will back Brandon on anything he does or says. This isn't opinion. Its fucking fact.
I'm NOT a REPublican. DEFINITELY NOT.

There is no Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube for the right.
Shitbags always say, make your own, REPS.
When they do, the evil fart suckers at Google get them shut down.

You are not even on the same planet as correct.
That's how badly you misfired.

Too bad.

Again, this is coming from an Independent.
Imagine if I was a hard right leaning freak.

Enjoy your day.
