None of those posting angry messages about #SignalGate going to say anything about this!

Conservatives then: States' Rights!

Conservatives now: We need the federal military to be the cops

Conservatives then: Government out of people's business!

Conservatives now: The government decides your health, your reproduction options, your gender, your identity, and your freedom

Conservatives then: Law and order!

Conservatives now: The cops exist to enforce my whims

I no longer believe in "now versus then" with conservatives. It's just saying what they mean, now that they have the power to avoid all consequences for doing so.

Just a thought: Amerikkkans who celebrate Cinco De Mayo should be disappeared to El Salvador #cincodemayo #hypocrisy #racism #amerikkka #Amerikkkan. Americans, on the other hand, should celebrate Cinco De Mayo by #protesting the #illegaldeportations instead of drinking margaritas and stuffing their faces at Mexican restaurants while Latino/Hispanic people work to serve them. #justsaying ...

For those who rather enjoyed the latest footage of Starmer being screamed at by the #NHS top consultant to "Get off my ward and out of our hospital NOW!!" , during another #political photoshoot stunt ...

Please do firmly bear here in mind however ...

Had the hospital consultant instead been FEMALE - then every headline and the vast majority of commenters would've been labelling her just another angry KAREN.

Today, out-of-touch Sen. Chuck Schumer wrote: "We stood together today in New York City with the Armenian American community to remember the 110th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, to remember its victims."

What is he doing to try to stop the ongoing genocide of innocent Palestinian men, women, and children in Gaza by Israel? Apparently nothing. #hypocrisy #politics #WarCrimes

'"You Wouldn't Steal a Car" was an anti-piracy campaign of the early 2000s, famously ineffectual and the target of many parodies. It has long been known the campaign exceeded the licensing terms of the music it used—pirated, you might say—and now analysis of the font shows it to be a replica of a commercial typeface designed by Just van Rossum—pirated, you might say.'

#Chinese Government's #Hypocrisy

The Chinese #government has been accused of being hypocritical in its actions, #promoting itself as a #champion of #socialism and #humanrights while suppressing #dissent and #minority groups.

The #UK lifts #sanctions on #Syria after #Jolani pledged to normalise ties with @israel

The UK has decided to begin lifting sanctions of Syrian government institutions and media outlets, despite the fact that many of these institutions continue to operate under officials formerly working for Bashar Al-Assad’s government. The move comes almost immediately after it was reported that US officials were told by Syrian leader Abu Mohammed Al-Jolani that he seeks to betray the Palestinian people and normalise ties with Israel.

The Primary School, its website declared, tried to overcome the systemic racism and poverty that hurts communities of color.

This week, however, school officials stunned families when they told parents the campus will shutter in the summer of 2026.

AMERICA LOOK AT WHO WE HAVE BECOME #MAGA They care about the Fetus that haven’t been born, but when it comes to the children who are living in the world, it’s a “your own your own” F U from America. #Hypocrisy

America’s commander-in-belief tells The Times about trying to stop the president swearing and why the UK has become ‘like Russia at the height of communism’

What a thankless role! But he doesn’t worry, His hypocrisy will carry him through and allow him to sleep at night.

What bit of the ‘teachings of Jesus’ do these religious types actually believe in and attempt to emulate?

As long as what’s happening is still not seen for the #fascist #coup that it is, too many people will fail to see the #hypocrisy and discrepancy of claiming to fight anti-semitism while at the same time #Trump allies himself with antisemites.

A quotation from The Bible

And when you fast, do not put on a sad face as the hypocrites do. They neglect their appearance so that everyone will see that they are fasting. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. When you go without food, wash your face and comb your hair, so that others cannot know that you are fasting — only your Father, who is unseen, will know. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.
 
[Ὅταν δὲ νηστεύητε, μὴ γίνεσθε ὡς οἱ ὑποκριταὶ σκυθρωποί, ἀφανίζουσιν γὰρ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὅπως φανῶσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύοντες· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν. σὺ δὲ νηστεύων ἄλειψαί σου τὴν κεφαλὴν καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου νίψαι, ὅπως μὴ φανῇς τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύων ἀλλὰ τῷ πατρί σου τῷ ἐν τῷ κρυφαίῳ· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυφαίῳ ἀποδώσει σοι.]

Or for downright atrocities.

> In fact, it’s probably a good rule of thumb that if a political movement spends a lot of energy trashing human kindness, it’s bad.
