Hypocrisy doesn't really exist at the corporate or political level today. Imagine you're playing chess with a friend. Would you call it "hypocritical" if they took you queen but didn't want to let you take theirs? Is it "lying" if you try to appear to be making an attack when really it's a feint? No, it's simply playing the game according to its rules against an enemy adversary.

Of course, that behavior makes sense in chess because the entire point of a game is to be an artificial world where only the letter of the rules are what matters and the only tangible outcome is winning or losing.

In the real world of business and politics, things like human decency and fairness should come into play. But increasingly, at least in American politics and corporations, the game is played only according to the letter of the law. Anything they can get away with, they will.
