We Like Consistency in Our Sinners?

Martha Gill points out that hypocrisy (or perceived hypocrisy) seems a bigger career-killer, than any other 'sin'. This benefits politicians and media 'stars' in the public eye with few/no redeeming features (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/sep/23/russell-brand-no-hypocrite-preached-what-practised-thats-why-we-indulged-him). The easiest way to prevent career cancellation, is to ensure you always openly lie, cheat and behave badly. If there's never a reason to expect better behaviour, such folk are often indulged. Nobody likes a hypocrit but we can apparently forgive cruelty, predatory behaviour, financial criminality and blatant dishonesty if it's 'our' guy/guyess. Consistency rools, OK? Just going on a world tour by private jet!
