Western doublespeak compilation (lemmygrad.ml)

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.

There's just a kajillion of them:

Their Stasi Vs our neighborhood watch

Their whataboutism Vs our providing important context

Their unaccountable regime security forces Vs our police officer who feared for his safety

Their re-education Vs our cult deprogramming

Their GULAG Vs our federal bureau of prisons

Their prison camps Vs our prisons
