    I know this is a shit post, but I have wrestled with hypocrisy or more specifically saying one thing but doing something else for a long time. Think of a murderer saying that murder is wrong.

    I think I am comfortable now saying that hypocrisy doesn’t discredit a true statement, even if the person who is saying it may be considered disingenuous.

    is there a name for the reverse of this? like making a change for yourself that works great for your needs, but then assuming that others just need to do the same thing?

      Sharing what worked for you is a pretty normal way to give advise. It can get annoying when its done too much, but that’s also not really rare. Though that tends to happen more when it’s a fresh experience and probably related to sincerely wanting to share a good experience.

      But I don’t any specific tarm for this. Projection maybe a bit

      The craziest part of that is the idea supposedly working. Like: instead of both calling out his idea as outlandish, one of them was like “Yeah - cool. We’ll go with that plan. I can accept taking home half of a human child.”

      Hey that’s awesome you coached him into getting strikes

      (Strikes are a good thing in bowling but a bad thing in baseball apparently)

          What a weird response.

          I had to double-check the definition of bootlicker to see if it changed. I’m not sure how it applies to pointing out how scummy it is to wish death upon a stranger. I’m not offended, just bummed that combative people like you have stumbled onto Lemmy.

        I agree it’s scummy to wish death upon a stranger you know nothing about. In this case, the guy thinks he knows the stranger is a fascist. I think that’s jumping to a conclusion, plenty of non-fascists do really dumb stuff with regard to health. This particular dumb thing with regard to health was popular among fascists, so it’s not totally nuts to think he might be.

        Anyway, wishing death upon a fascist (stranger or no) is not scummy. Only a bootlicker would think it is! That said, I also don’t think you have to be a bootlicker to think we shouldn’t assume someone’s a fascist because they want ivermectin.

        Fellas, is it “unclassy” to wish harm upon those whose entire fucking identity is causing harm to others?
