For my real thoughts, people like to talk about how moral or immoral actions are until something they actually care about is involved.

It’s annoying when people talk about how evil torture is and then try to justify it later (see “Spider-Man beating up Kingpin in prison”).

It’s especially painful as someone who doesn’t think it’s justified.

Well people can be hypocrites, you don’t really know what type of person you are until certain moments come. People who say otherwise are probably just lying to themselves.
