Why is hypocrisy considered bad?

[VohnnyBoy]

There’s numerous sayings like “Practice as you preach”, “The pot calling kettle black” and so on and on…but why shouldn’t you be a hypocrite in a first place? Everyone is to an extend anyway

Does that general rule of morality apply in here too? You don’t do things what you wouldn’t want to be victim of yourself?

“Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins”

Interesting question. Unfortunately my brain is fried so I cannot give you an answer.

if hypocrisy benefits you i dont think one would complain
everyone is being a bitch about it unless it directly benefits them

Calling out people for being hypocrites is not necessarily a counter to their state, rather it as denial of the moral superiority that would come with it. It's to prevent said hypocrite from gaining anything in the encounter.

People see it as a violation of fairness but at the same time will claim life isn’t fair to dismiss the complaints of incels.

Damn never thought that way. You're right, people will claim you shouldn't be a hypocrite and that life isn't fair at the same time even thought those statements are contradictory
I guess everyone's fine with unfairness until that very same thing affects them
