Irony

What have you discovered through history about the juxtapositions evident between the irony of incivility and apparent hypocritical expectations of civility? 

Perhaps you have rudely demanded deference from fearfully obsequious persons from time to time.

Perhaps you have bullied people into complying with a silly statement of vague principles you do not follow yourself.

There is much irony in politics when values are claimed to be national and possibly even natural yet frequently disregarded through the expression of prejudice and hubris.

Often the loudest voices protesting against incivility actually express inappropriate rudeness.
