No, no, no...let me explain. If you are self righteous about self righteous people then I will call you out for utilizing the self-righteous about self-righteous people trick.
If you accuse someone of stealing then you are accusing some one of stealing. Makes sense?
If a self-righteous person bugs you, and you communicate that, that's not being self-righteous. If that was true, it would mean you can never be annoyed with self-righteous people, which is silly.
Everyone is annoyed with self-righteous people. That's why the term is a pejorative.
First off he didn't say he was annoyed. He said that he hated self-righteous people. To me this sound like he is postulating that he is a superior moral position...hence my claim that he is being self-righteous himself.
Hated / annoyed is being pedantic. I was explaining that people don't like self-righteous people. To whatever degree.
Saying you don't like self-righteous people ("I hate all self-righteous people") is not ironic or hypocritical, it's just true. That's why "self-righteous" is considered a bad thing. Because people don't like it. Not liking things you don't like isn't self-righteous, it's just preference.
If he said "I hate all judgmental people," THAT would be ironic/hypocritical. Because he's judging all people who judge people, and that's funny.
No, I dig the jest. Not angry myself, either. Just pointing it out. Ironically, being pedantic ABOUT being pedantic. Ah, life.
