2 months agoAnd we just pretend like the West never does coups - be it to instill a pro-NATO or pro-EU or pro-free market… Only the other side does these undemocratic/injust acts right? We are just trying to help!
like the user below me points out, it’s about the apparent hypocrisy that is oh-so visible today in Western media. we love to point out the bad things our ‘enemies’ engage in - even though we are doing the same acts ourselves - in which we never talk about.
We’re throwing stones from a glass house. And when ppl throw the stones back, we call it ‘whataboutism’. lol
