I've always avoided criticizing conservatives about any supposed hypocrisy because I'm very aware about my own as I recently faced. My company has been broadcasting on national television an ad where one of the actors scoffs at the idea of defunding the police, which I embrace myself.

And yet I won't resign from this company nor make any kind of internal fuss about it. I'm very aware of what I stand to lose in such a process, and I'm not eager to self-inflict this kind of hardship in a country that doesn't forgive stumbling off the corporate career ladder.

This is also why I have the utmost respect for people harboring anarchist-communist beliefs and living by them in a conservative-capitalist country like the US. I'm not even confortable tagging them because it feels like marking them for political repression but they will recognize themselves.
