I don't really see the reason for obsessing over hypocrisy in such a way. Humans are inconsistent and illogical in their choices all the time, trying to pretend we're logical machines is a practice in futility — one that many great philosophers have taken the time to tear apart over the centuries. I don't eat my eggs in a certain way because it's logically consistent, I eat them because I like them.



No, humans aren't that illogical.

It's that layers upon layers of obfuscation are used to hide the terrible facts.

There's even terms to describe this, such as "how the sausage is made".
