>> Hypocrisy is one of the main tools in the liar's toolbox.
>>
>> Hypocrisy is when we believe we deserve to have free will but we refuse

>> extend the same human right to others. This is a very important tool in 
>> the

>> differences, any kind of differences will be used to try to justify

>> Another item in the Liar's Toolbox is indifference. Sometimes called

>>
>> Failing to notice or consider that our actions harm others is not an

>> framing

>> excuse either. There is no such thing as lives that don't matter.
>>
>> No matter what claims are being made to justify violence in the name of

>>
>> It's Not Just About Stuff
>>
>> We're encouraged to believe that crime is all about property and
