    hypocrisy mongering

    And it’s totally ineffective because they don’t have the first clue about why we actually hold the positions we hold or what our underlying political and ethical framework is.

      What’s even worse is they could just ask us, and we would gladly explain it to them. But they don’t want to hear what we have to say, they’ve already made up their minds. Every time we try to explain ourselves to them they immediately go full not-listening
