Naming Hypocrisy in the Abstract
Severity 2FramingStep 3Step 5
Discusses hypocrisy abstractly (people, we, society) instead of directing it at them once step 3 contradiction is established.
The give pair
Gives ammo
Honestly, people are hypocritical about animals these days.
Gives nothing
You said humans should respect animals, so you cannot exploit them. You'd stop being a hypocrite.
The round they fire back
Agrees hypocrisy exists elsewhere without owning their own contradiction.
How to fix it
Once step 3 lands, hypocrisy must be directed at them, you cannot respect them while exploiting them; you stop being a hypocrite. Not 'people are hypocritical.'
Coaching notes
- Distinct from calling them hypocrite from line one, this is after they agree to respect.
- Step 5: you won't be lying anymore / stop being a hypocrite, at them directly.
