There's really, really not. I think you need a refresher on the definition of "hypocrisy", because yours is badly wrong.

- brucephillips 9y agoIf you're willing to engage in respectful debate, rather than just vacuously claiming that I'm wrong, I'm happy to discuss any definition you'd like to proffer.
- Analemma_ 9y agoWe (I'm assuming you're not posting from North Korea) all live in a capitalist society, so virtually all the products we use are "made with profit incentive". Since it is not possible to live in society without consuming any products, your definition of a "hypocritical" capitalist critiquer implicitly includes all of them - which makes it useless as a definition, as it carries no informational content.
- brucephillips 9y agoBut many products would exist without profit incentive. This isn't a thought experiment. East Germany had bread and houses. They didn't have iphones. If you want the iphone, you have to accept profit incentive.
- owebmaster 9y agoThe same way if you want a welfare state you have to accept taxes.
