Requisite hypocrisy is a phenomenon in the broader not-walking-the-talk family where we have all good, bad and ugly folk, from the proverbial “The cobbler always wears the worst shoes” and “the end justifies the means” through the common backtracking of politicians to the Brunssonian organizational hypocrisy which is “a way of handling conflicts by reflecting them in inconsistencies among talk, decisions, and actions.” In that landscape, requisite hypocrisy looks like a narrow peak where, if you move a bit forward or backward, you can easily roll down to the valley of common hypocrisy or other variants.
