Hypocrisy "Hypocrisy" doesn't exist

[San Salvador]

When people are "hypocritical", they are just lying about their beliefs/actions/whatever as a means to an end. However, their lying is not good enough, and people figure out their bullshit.

Hypocrisy is just bad lying

Hypocritical means you say one thing but you do another.

Like for example, "Smoking is bad and you should never do it." and then you go outside and smoke a cig.
