Blatant hypocrisy is amazing. I wonder how much people are aware they're engaged in it?

My guess is they're not aware at all. They know that they're good people who aren't hypocrites, so there must be another explanation.

I think true hypocrisy requires awareness. Otherwise, it's unconscious bias which is more error than moral failing.

Clever. I hadn't considered that angle. Are you being a hypocrite if you're not even aware of it?

Id rather call someone 'inconsistent' unless it's very clear they're knowingly betraying their own stated principles.

Well, I was thinking about how the UK left is suddenly aghast at the DUP's links to terror, while totally overlooking Corbyn's IRA fondness.

Yes. Motivated to see the problem when other side does it & rationalise it away when their own does. Coz sure own side essentially good.

I think variations on this are the most common examples of inconsistency due to bias. Must try to get people to see it.
