    Good faith, bad faith, that has no bearing on hypocrisy. And anybody can be a hypocrite regardless of their guiding philosophy.

    You don’t believe in cows’ rights to, well, anything, because you don’t believe in rights. I don’t see you making any arguments about duties.

    Hence we’re left with nothing but the potential for hypocrisy based on the golden rule, which pretty much everybody accepts.

      “appeal to hypocrisy” is a logical fallacy. it’s logically fallacious because a murderer can say “murder is wrong” and the truth doesn’t change based on who is saying it. it’s a form of ad hominem, and I am reticent to accuse someone of bad faith based on insinuation.
