      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.

          “therefore drinking is not bad for people” -> tu quoque fallacy “therefore you are a hypocritical asshole” -> not fallacious

          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.

      Who is excluding maga? I want everyone (including maga) to have Healthcare, education, workers rights, etc. I wouldn’t go as far as “loving” but sure as he’ll not excluding them.

          Excluding people because of their conscious choices and actions is something that basically every human organization and government does on a daily basis.

          Excluding people because of racial/religious labels is something bigots do and it is often illegal for the organizations mentioned above to do it.
