    High horsing around

    Spend billions constantly smearing and badmouthing the enemy rival regime

    “You’re no better”

    “NOOOOO a historian would just say ok and not challenge our propaganda!”

    PS: This is of course satire. Since the rise of the historians, all hypocrites have been killed.

    PPS: Just read this and I think it puts the hypocrisy of OPs meme better than my bullshit:

    It reminds me of what Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter said in his acceptance speech in 2005 critiquing the Iraq War and U.S. foreign policy:

    “It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn’t happening. It didn’t matter. It was of no interest. The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It’s a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis.”
