Western doublespeak compilation - Lemmygrad

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
