I appreciate your point about how liars exploit ideologies and institutions for their own ends. It feels like one of the most common fallacies I see these days is that any hypocrite is held up as the defining representative of his/her groups--which functionally renders ideology a moot point. Why believe anything if someone bad believes it too? But that just leads to irrationality.
