when you see something hypocritical or duplicitous & it's obvious to you but not other people
there's usually something at work 'under the surface' for that person to make 'the hypocritical to others' entirely rational for them
hypocritical behavior has deeper coherent logic that makes it rational

Beautiful words from @matttebbe.bsky.social
If I oppose you it's because
it's the best way i know to love you
+ to love those you are harming.
If i hated you i'd want to destroy, defeat, dehumanize you.
But I don't want any of that for you. Or me.
I want your reformation, your redemption, your restoration into a whole community.
