I feel that too. 

I think my (our) drive to logical consistency is an innate characteristic. And as such it can be used to control me. The vast majority of people I have encountered only have logic when it benefits them. 

Only reason I engage here is that usually the disagreement is educational.

Makes sense that it's mostly for onlookers 

I think personally I'm just exhausted by it. Been preferring more to withdraw from arguments rather than engage

I'm usually with you. I finally caved today and engaged with a bunch of bad anti-libertarian takes on this stuff. Probably won't amount to much, but I also find it annoying seeing this stuff go unchallenged.

I do think there's utility in making the counterpoint visible. In that sense calling out the inconsistencies is not for the sake of the hypocrite. It's for the onlooker trying to make sense of an issue.
