The internet is forever. Once you put something out into the cyberspace ether, you lose control over it. No amount of effort to delete or pretend it never happened will rival the online sleuths who will find a way to get hold of receipts and throw them back at you when needed. 

This is especially true for those with a penchant for posting contradictory hot takes. Some of them are infamous names in their respective industries, all of whom are getting harshly roasted using two simple words: “This you?” 

We’ve collected some of those satisfying burns and compiled them into this list. Enjoy scrolling through and be sure to upvote your favorites.

Hypocrisy - one of the defining characteristics of the modern self-identified 'conservative'. Once upon a time, they were better... Whatever criticisms might be directed at Ronald Reagan, he was at least courteous. 🤷‍♂️

    Hypocrisy puts morality in question, which is why people will never admit to it. According to social psychologist and educator Daniel Stalder, it’s also why politicians will deny such a label and instead perceive themselves as making “politically smart decisions.”

    Much like a haphazard social media post, it would be nearly impossible to take back a hypocritical statement or behavior. However, Stalder says we can address our inconsistent actions in less biased ways, beginning by acknowledging the wrongdoing. 

    The next step would be to find a way to move on, regardless of how long the backlash from the hypocrisy lingers.

    'A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.' - says nothing about the right of any individual. "the right of the people" - collectively. The US politicians who made that change to the US constitution knew exactly what they were doing when they used the phrase 'the people' rather than 'each person'. The words they chose makes it very plain they did *not* intend that each and every person should be permitted to 'keep and bear Arms'. I realize that me making this rather obvious point will trigger an awful lot of people. 😉
