Mx Amber Alex (she/it)@schratze hypocrisy is the highest accomplishment to fascists. It's the ultimate freedom from consequences and rules, they're free from even being held to their own words.
Or, a Sartre quote:
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.”
— Jean-Paul Sartre, “Anti-Semite and Jew” (1944)
