mf - story #5781 - The more your ideolo

The more your ideology deviates from the societal "norm", the harder it is to stay pure. You're as much a hypocrite as Chomsky.

Fair point, I suppose, although I wouldn't say I'm "as much" a hypocrite as him. I think I'm at least a little less. For one thing, I will openly acknowledge my hypocrisy and wrongdoings, as opposed to the way he hides or rationalizes it.

For the sake of diplomacy, let's all try harder to be less violent and hypocritical.

Isn't that another level of hypocrisy? i.e. "it's ok that I'm hypocritical because I try not to be"

No. (Have your reading skills deteriorated? Or your vision? Where in any of the above words was it stated (directly or indirectly) that it's "ok to be hypocritical"?)

You wrote you're less of a hypocrite because you at least try not to be one. Which is another way of excusing your hypocrisy.
