@anubis2814 That can be an aspect of it, but then it becomes easy to switch from accusing people of hypocrisy to accusing people of cognitive dissonance and we've learned nothing. Some people just don't have the same core values as ourselves, and so judging their opinions based on our values will always yield a flawed analysis.

@hypolite Cognitive dissonance is one of the worst feelings people can have so the human brain is genius at making us rationalizations for why everything you do is morally consistent.

Periodical reminder there's no objective hypocrisy in people, everybody is always internally consistent. So accusations of hypocrisy reveals more about the accuser who doesn't have (or doesn’t want to get) a grasp on this consistency than about the accused.
