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
