    You forgot the scare quotes around “oppressed.”

    They don’t care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.

    Hypocrisy is a feature because it serves as a demonstration of their power and impunity. The message is “of course we’re being blatantly hypocritical; what are you gonna do about it, peasant?”

      In Hungary we have a saying: “The problem isn’t what he did, but that he was busted doing it.” since the Gábor Kaleta and József Szájer cases, and the Hungarian PragerU clone Axióma kind of implied this, essentially saying “leftist hypocrisy proves that the left’s views are unfeasible, rightist hypocrisy proves that people on the right are humans first and foremost”.
