They are not hypocrites, they are fascists. Fascism prioritizes power over rationality or rules based order.

They flaunt the fact that they don’t care about the rules because it’s a way to show they have power that others lack. It’s a domination thing.

    Fascism and hypocrisy overlap often times.

    Power is not just 'hard', it's also 'soft'. Fascists often live in denial of that fact. If you as a "man" need a fist to make people listen - because you can't do so by your own word, then you already lost.

    This is exactly it and why I hate seeing all the self congratulatory gotchas on social media as if they care about the logical consistency of anything they are saying.

    You didn't just get one over on them, you expended precious mental effort arguing against a firehose of bullshit, and not fighting against it.

    Hmm, no they're also hypocrites, it's not mutually exclusive

    They are not hypocrites if they don’t believe in any of the stuff in the first place. Which they don’t. None of them do.

    That's a pretty fair assessment, is it hypocrisy if you're not aware of the irony, I would argue so, but your point still stands, they don't care for the truth at all. If they did, they might have to contend with the fact that they are monsters
