Applying different sets of rules to the same principals especially when they are both equally as bad
1- The word "fuck" is edited out from the daily newspaper, however the word "shit" and stories of a sexual nature are published without censorship and question even though all of these principals are taboo.
2 - The police can mace an aggressive criminal and get a "well done" yet a member of the public who even uses spray deoderant to fight off an attacker is placed under arrest even though the law permits people to use "such forces as they deem necessary" to defend oneself/home/property. THIS IS CONSIDERED AN ACT OF HIGH TREASON BY WAY OF THE GOVERNMENT LEVYING WAR UPON THERE OWN PEOPLE.
3 - Marijuana, a relatively harmless herb is outlawed yet tobacco which is highly addictive and kills 10x more people than road accidents a year is, why? BECAUSE BIG NAME TOBACCO PAY THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP POT ILLEGAL FOR FEAR IT WILL RUIN THEIR PRECIOUS TOBACCO CROP
all of these are a double standard

A double standard is a code or policy that favors one group or person over another. For example, a guy who is skinny is considered weak, while a girl who is skinny is considered beautiful. Double standards exist everywhere, but usually go unnoticed since people take the side of whoever the double standard is helping.
A rapist will get several years in jail while a false rape claim only gets a few months. This is a double standard.

When somebody tells you not to talk about anybody's business, then they go and tell everybody about a secret being out because they have no self control over their own mouth.
The loudmouth didn't blurt anything out about her own double standards, but was quick to blurt something out about everyone else's that ever met her, so hopefully those new people she was meeting already knew that about her.

The Double Standard is of the liberal's greatest weapon. For example: Biden can say he will nuke America, they won't care. However when Trump posts something stupid on Twitter, it's "ahhhhhh! HE'S A WHITE SUPREMACIST! AHHHHH".
Reporter: Hey, can I post about how the US agent refused to give evidence of Russia's "attack" on Ukraine to your platform.
Jack Dorsey: Sorry, we don't allow fake news.
Feminist: Uhh! These men were trying to rape me because they kept saying that having kids are good.
Jack Dorsey: Yeah, common White Supremacists probably.
Reporter: Now that sounded suspicious.
Jack Dorsey: Imagine what would happen if I allowed fake news on my platform.
Reporter: f*ck you and your Double Standard!
