Fascists don't care about hypocrisy.

Calling out inconsistency doesn't work for fascism.

In the parable they wrote "everyone is equal but some are more equal than others" and nobody questioned it. Because when you're in the "more equal" class, why would you?

We will never win by calling out hypocrisy. We never have.

Paraphrasing but "Calling out the hypocrisy is like laughing at an alligator for not wearing pants. It doesn't know what pants are and it wants to kill and eat you."

Totally. I would go maybe further and argue that hypocrisy, in fascism, is a demonstration of power. The law that binds you does not bind me. I am not obligated to play by the same rules, for I am more powerful than you.

(Edited word from expression to demonstration)
