Before the beginning of the demise of intelligent civilisation, a hypocrite used to be the two-faced - one who feigns or claims to be more than is the case. Today apparently, and especially on here that some of us worship our feelings, I have observed that the hypocrite is anyone who refuses to conform to trendy desires just like that; more like being a hypocrite for not being a hypocrite.
Let me rephrase that:
Today, and often self-contradictorily, we tend to pervert the term hypocrite to describe anyone who refuses to ally him/herself with ours, or differs with us in opinion or belief. So if you're independent minded, or you often remark against what you deem oppressive, regardless of your relationship with the oppressor, you'll more than likely be called a hypocrite; so a badge of pride than of shame actually.
