oligarchy - entrepreneurs

There's just a kajillion of them:
Their Stasi Vs our neighborhood watch

I'll start the thread.
Billionaire vs Oligarch
Custom vs Ritual
Freedom fighter vs Terrorist
Anime vs Cartoon
Internship vs unpaid labor
Defector/refugee - Illegal immigrant
Community service - Forced labor
Liberation - Occupation
Enhanced interrogation techniques - Torture
Community service is not forced labour 💀
You mean prison labour is forced labour. Community service is when they make dumbass teens arrested for something like vandalism or underage drinking, go and work at a soup kitchen, or pick up garbage off the side of the road as punishment.
our 'hard-hitting journalism', their 'state-funded propaganda'
The various ways they avoid using "oligarch" for westerns. Western Billionaire, entrepreneur, etc, whereas it's always "Russian Oligarchs."
On that note: "bribery" and "lobbying"
Their regime, our administration
our riots vs their protests for freedom
Our prison, their prison camp
"internment camp" might be good to plug here
The Dictator's hand-picked successor.
The President's endorsement.
Defence contractor vs weapons manufacturer
Used depending on who's buying weapons from whom
security forces vs police
i like using that one about america, it makes liberals weirdly defensive lol
Paid volunteers vs mercenaries
White nationalism vs white supremacist
In terms of Israel: Skirmishes vs terrorist attacks
freedom fighters vs terrorists
Media really had a field day with these over the last 20 years.
Our routine missile test vs their provocative missile launch
Immigrant vs Expat
Assassination/targeted killing and mercenary/contractor legit make me furious. Up there with "enhanced interrogation".
gulag vs prison oligarch vs entrepreneur
Savages committing human sacrifices vs Carrying out God's divine justice
