We can't recognize Somaliland because "sovereignty" and "territorial integrity" but we have to recognize Taiwan and the Orange Revolution because "self-determination".

We can't allow China to force the Uyghurs into reeducation camps because "human rights" but we must allow the Israelis to genocide the Palestinians because "self-defense".

The western propaganda/brainwashing machine is truly unparalleled in history and in the world. Orwell couldn't even see it, because he was steeped in it. In fact, he became part of it. "Propaganda" is just what those other guys do. When the west does it it's "journalism" and "education".
