Why is Western double standard so normalized? If Russia or Iran did 1% of what Israel & US do, the outrage would be endless. Why do rules only apply to them?

> I am trying to understand why thinking with completely different moral standards when considering the foreign policy of countries is so normal for US Americans and Europeans? On second thought, these different standards also apply to domestic policy, don’t they? > It’s not just normal you are generally considered crazy if you apply the same standards to Israel or US Americans as to everyone else. > Have you ever replaced Israel or US America with North Korea, Russia or China just as a test in news articles? Or, conversely, replaced North Korea, Russia or China with Israel or the US? > The double standards and extreme bias is so obvious that I find it very irritating that most people don’t seem to realize it. > Imagine North Korea, Russia or China blowing up girls’ elementary school? How would the media report it?

Human right, justify works just if it serves interests of western world.

supporters of the current fascist government regularly engage in doublethink–genuinely believing in 2 contradictory beliefs simultaneously. people often mistakenly call it “cognitive dissonance.” it’s not. there is no “dissonance.” they literally scream “think of the children” while supporting pedophiles in office, and refuse to take any action whatsoever to stop school shootings.

What about our current government makes it fascist that our previous governments did not have? I ask because under the administration GWB and Cheney they came up with a list of 7 countries to topple and Iran was the last one. The listed included Libya, which Obama and HRC executed, with HRC literally gloating at the report of the 70+ year old leader of Libya being killed by being sodomized by a bayonet when she said “We came! We saw! He died!”.

People have been analyzing the double standards of the US for literal decades. The US was an apartheid state not that long ago. The Third Reich studied US law and culture as the model for building an effective apartheid state so they could do it in German and hopefully extend it to Russia when they eventually won the war.

Truman collaborated with the Pope to save 10K Nazis from justice, relocating them all over the Western hemisphere, protecting them, funding them, etc.

So why are you only saying the current government?
