Human nature

Charity!  “Would you like to give a dollar to earthworm research in Bolivia?” says the cashier.  Sure, whatever, here’s TWO dollars, screw it.  “Wikipedia survives on small donations, please donate a dollar.”  Go to hell, Wikipedia.  (Despite using Wikipedia regularly and not giving a squirt of piss for earthworm research.)

Politics!  “I hate politicians.  They’re useless, I wish they would all go away and leave us alone.”  Did you hear the Senate is on a two week break?  “They better get back to work!”  (2 weeks later) They went back and passed more regulations.  “We’d be better off if they didn’t show up!”  Repeat.  See also – “I love when a politician speaks his or her mind.”  They speak his or her mind.  “Oh my God, they’re not fit for office!”

Video games!  “I love video games.  I’d play all the time if I could.”  Why do you have a broken controller?  “Oh, I got stuck on a level and smashed the controller in a fit of rage.”  Sounds fun, good hobby.

Comedy!  “I can’t stand political correctness.  I love it when comedians tell it like it is.”  Comedian says something about the one topic that person is sensitive about.  “I’ve had about enough of this offensive material.  Disgusting, really.  Why do have to talk about _____?”
