I take issue with your wording: “crimes” are the things that the OTHER side does, while when WE do it, it is ah… something else. (I am also being facetious, but only a little, unfortunately)
That’s very true. When the other side does violence, we call it “crimes.” When we do it, we call it “justice” or “necessity.” Humans are good at justifying whatever they want to believe is true about the “other side.”

They justifying extreme violence by claiming that they’re squashing “terrorism.”
Even though the USA, and it’s military-industrial complex, has been the single largest terrorizing force the world has ever seen…
