    Thats an interesting not-quite-straw-man .

    Pointing out that someone isn’t following the teachings they are claiming to follow doesn’t require the accuser to be an adherent to those teachings.

    I could call a self professed vegan a hypocrite if I saw them eating a steak, regardless of whether or not, I myself were a vegan.

      Tu quoque fallacy.

      Oh no no no, you can call everyone a hypocrite today. This doesn’t change things a bit. This leads to a spike in moral superiority in your bubble and that’s it.

        If you’re struggling with the distinction between pointing out hypocrisy and a claim of moral superiority then you’re going to spend a lot of time being confused and/or upset.

        Has anyone told you that you’re stupid recently?

        Just in case they haven’t, I’m going to take this opportunity, right now, to tell you that you’re stupid

          100% Seconded. It’s…odd to have to chime in on something like this but I really agree. Exhibitional stupidity, paraded proudly, like a peacock whose feathers were ill-informed words. Sadly, the internet is referred to as a medium; shitheads like this are neither rare nor well-done.

            It’s quite literally impossible to stress how much you don’t matter

            If someone told me tomorrow that you killed yourself because of this interaction, I’d be struggling to recall it, let alone care

            Have a short and lonely life, loser
