I see so many people using the word hypocrisy to describe this behaviour.
It’s not hypocrisy. They honestly believe the rules do not apply to them.
These are people who believe they write the rules, not live by the rules, because they’re at the top of the hierarchy.

Using words like hypocrisy is a reflection of your values, not theirs.
They don’t believe your opinion matters. Therefore hypocrisy is an empty moral value.
Why people continue to use is frustrating.

To respond to the slight of being called a hypocrite, you first must possess some level of a sense of social cohesion and egalitarianism. A belief that “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander” mentality.
UCP members don’t have that characteristic.

They believe in the natural order where the top of the hierarchy has no limits on their behaviour.
Wealthy people paying for their kids college acceptance, banks giving wealthy people lower interest rates on loans, VIP entrance to jump the queue.

These are all examples of the status those at the top of the hierarchy believe they deserve.
Egalitarian values and beliefs respond to accusations of hypocrisy. Usually when someone steps out of normal expected behaviour.

Paleolibertarians don’t have that dilemma. They believe as god fearing Christians that this permits them to do whatever they want as long as it’s in the pursuit of furthering god’s agenda.
Rules are for people lower in social status. Not the elites.
So hypocrisy isn’t the correct term.
Hubristic arrogance. Classist entitlement. The people who think their 💩 doesn’t stink. Uppity ups.
Those are terms that suit the situation.

Because when the elites create rules and laws to control the behaviour of the public, they are automatically excluded due to their social & political status.
They retain control of the definition of “us” in “us vs them”

Watch this video. Yes it’s long (22 minutes), but it describes why they feel entitled and accusations of hypocrisy go unheard and unaddressed. And it’s entertaining.
