Western doublespeak compilation

3 years ago by Trudge [Comrade] to c/comradeship

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.

Media really had a field day with these over the last 20 years.

"If crime fighters fight crime, and firefighters fight fires, then what do freedom fighters fight?"
