We all know that the west uses two different words for the same thing depending on where it is happening.

e.g. Secret Police vs Plainclothes Officer
Regime vs Government

Can we have a compilation thread of these words? I am probably using many of them unconsciously without critical examination.

Their authoritarianism vs our law and order.

Their warcrime vs our collateral damage.

Their dictator vs our leader.

Their reeducation vs our rehabilitation.

Their state media vs our public media.

    The dictator vs our leader is huge. The way all westoid brained people talk about Putin, or Xi, or Kim like they have a personal relationship with them. They act like geopolitics is just based on these individuals personal whims

    Well I was more thinking of the way that enemy country state media are considered nothing but propaganda, while things like the BBC are considered upstanding journalism.
