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.
You should be in bed, it’s midnight
Me? I’ve just started a movie
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?

Who the hell does this Solomon guy think he is calling me out like this.
Best advice I’ve ever given and not taken was:
LAWYER UP, HIT THE GYM, DELETE FACEBOOK.
1/3 ain’t bad, I’ve made progress.
We often have better perspective regarding other people’s troubles than we do our own.
We’re also often still wrong about it, anyway.

How to use “Solomon’s paradox” to give yourself good life advice
Being too close to a problem makes it hard to analyze without an outsider’s perspective. If I don’t have an outsider nearby or within friendnapping distance, I use the Rubber Ducky Debugging technique.
Practicing self-compassion makes it less awkward to treat yourself as amazingly as you treat those around you.
I use tarot cards. They’re pretty and I get to be the weird bog witch I always wanted to grow up to be.
Oh I just met a guy not more than 10 minutes ago who openly admitted to injesting the horse version of ivermectin to help with his stomach cancer. his doctor won’t prescribe the human version. So he has to go to a vet. Lmao well hopefully one less trump voter come November
You met a fella and ten minutes later told the Internet you want him dead. Classy af.
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.
Oh is the bootlicker offended?
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.
You’re just weird. Typical maga shill
do as I say not as I do
