How is this hypocrisy?
Because they are. They abused the system and now don't want others to do so. If you ever got pulled over for speeding and let go with a warning. Then later on in life you decided to become a cop and pull someone over for speeding, and it is the first and only time you have seen them do this, no priors on record, and you give them a ticket, you are in fact a hypocrite.
So they should pay back the loans anyway? Should I refuse a verbal warning from a cop and demand that he give me a ticket?
I don't think you understand what hypocrisy is. Hypocrisy is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another.
If these people refused to pay back loans and fought to get them forgiven then that would be hypocrisy. Benefiting from the actions of somebody else is not hypocrisy.
If they're gonna bitch and cry and scream about the "unjustness" of people "mis-spending"* taxpayer funds then they should grow a spine - AND a pair - and lead by EXAMPLE because that's what LEADERS DO.
Last I checked, leading by example was a thing, and a very, VERY respectable thing at that.
But naah, they're just gonna piss in their golden toilet bowls tonight while feeling happy that they got their nation's citizens riled up against * checks notes *, poor little students working 3 jobs to make ends meet.
I don't know if you have a moral compass (or even a humanity compass) beyond supporting every evil that capitalism does, but in case you do, I'd suggest that you attempt using it once. Cheers.
So you think they should pay back the loans anyway? Do you also think Trump is a hypocrite for using all the laws he can to pay the least income tax he can?
Your thinking is flawed. That is why they push stuff like this. They know people will be distracted because their emotions take over.
Stop letting them play you.
Hypocrisy is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another or the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform. In moral psychology, it is the failure to follow one's own expressed moral rules and principles. (Moral rules)
Exactly! Keyword, PRACTICE.
If these people refused to pay back loans and fought to get them forgiven then that would be hypocrisy. Benefiting from the actions of somebody else is not hypocrisy.
Exactly. Besides, I'm sure that these ones can now actually pay off said loans, if they had even a shred of integrity left. In fact, if they had done that before calling out these student loan forgivings, I would have likely taken their words more seriously.
But when was the last time a career politician had any integrity in them lol.
preach it brother.
