      Fascists don’t believe, like the left, that there are principles that should be applied equally to everyone. Their starting point is “everything our way” and the rest falls out of that. So they don’t see it as hypocritical to approve of something when they do it but disapprove of the exact same thing when someone else does it. It’s simply that it’s only good when it’s done by and for them. It looks like hypocrisy to anyone trying sincerely to live a moral life for the good of all, but that just isn’t the game the fascists are playing. People are not equal for them. They’re the only ones that count.

      So I always feel that accusing the right of hypocrisy misses the depth of their amorality and the ruthlessness of their selfishness. Their whole world view is just them in the middle, taking everything, with no need to consider others except as a temporary impediment to be used and/or disposed of.

        Amen. And this is why Liberals, and the manufactured opposition of the Democrat party, have enabled the collapse of America. Even now, in the final hour, as the fascist coup is succeeding and almost complete, they continue to pretend as though another “gotcha” or “slam” will win. The mentally ill cult doesn’t care, and never has. Once the coup is complete, they will murder you and all who oppose them. They will overthrow other governments, murder millions or even billions of innocent people. They do not care, and never will. If they were capable of caring, they already would.
