Is there a term for this kind of “our brave soldiers, their barbaric hordes” terminology? Because I’m increasingly feeling like most liberal politics can be boiled down to it
Double standard, doublespeak and hypocrisy all seem applicable. So maybe like chauvinistic double standard or exceptionalist hypocrisy or some combination thereof. It does feel like there’s a lack of terminology with broad appeal in this respect.
Maybe like “state(/applicable noun) sugar coating” gets the message across in a way that even those with the reading age of a 9 year old might get the gist of.

it’s just chauvinism

it seems very difficult to encapsulate in a single term, so maybe simply “liberal chauvinism”? It is a typical shitlib mentality after all.

If there’s no term for it, I’m gonna call it Blairspeak, named after Eric Blair.
