Hypocrisy but mostly the attempt to unify totally divergent realities, usually by omitting / "forgetting" something.

E.g. you can't be the good guys when you abuse children at your border, so obviously that's fake news (=propaganda by the bad guys) and/or(!) those are criminals anyway (=the propaganda by the bad guys omits those parts showing how what you're doing is the right and overall good thing to do).

Another example where this is readily apparent is Americans and their freedom knee-jerk reflex; all the while the US is a country with some of the most restrictive justice/penal systems in the world, the most powerful surveillance state in the world and also comes with it's own secret court and set of secret laws.
