Politicians and other famous people amazed and continue to amaze with duplicity when, for example, from the screens, they utter words by which they themselves do not live. They consider it the norm, but the population of the country is constantly shocked by their behavior.
It is considered normal for "servants of the people" to say one thing and do another, that is, what is beneficial for them personally.
Where double standards are manifested
The most striking example from the judicial system, now the case of embezzlement in the Ministry of Defense is being investigated. A lady who owns a multi-room apartment in the center of Moscow is under house arrest. In the village, or just in the provinces, for stealing potatoes from a common basement, thieves are taken into custody, and they receive real terms of imprisonment. Moreover, the potatoes will be taken away, and the fine will be written out. But the stolen billions of dollars from the state are not returned to the treasury, and the property is not confiscated.
If ordinary people cannot hunt in protected areas, then the powers that be are allowed even to build houses in the protected area. On the seashore or other body of water, they can fence off the territory in such a way that the population of the nearest settlements does not have access to water. And our water resources belong to the state and are publicly available.
Mansions worth several million euros look especially bright when people's salaries will allow them to make such savings over hundreds of years.
The leader of one of the factions, a very famous politician, broadcasts from the screens about the sanctity of family ties, he himself is married for the fourth time, the last wife is 30 years younger. There are a great many similar examples, when the slogans uttered in the election program are sharply at variance with the real state of affairs.
Double standards of countries, if they are presented for a moment as “their own”
An example is the EU countries and the USA. Especially for the States. When the situation is favorable for "our" state, it recognizes the legitimacy and legality of events, if not beneficial, immediately sanctions against "disobedient" are introduced. When proclaiming democracy and freedom, they dictate the rules of behavior to others, without even trying to somehow disguise the obvious inconsistency of actions with their own postulates.
It turns out that where you can profit from something, everything that can be used to your advantage is good. That is, you need to plant democracy where there are material values. If all this can be transported to one's own country, then in the one that is selected as a target, "human rights" immediately disappear and must be "restored".
There is oil in Iraq, but there is no "democracy", so it turns out that the oil rigs are being taken over by the dealers from the United States.
It is even possible with the help of bombs dropped on the heads of innocent civilians. The indivisibility of the territory is recognized where the US itself would not interfere with this territory, and where it is beneficial for the country to split, then any, even illegal separation of lands, is for some reason considered legal. An example is Kosovo in Serbia, where the Kosovars are just guests who have taken land from the Serbs, and Crimea, which has returned to Russia.
