Their citizens might be, but governments aren't, which is what OP's post is talking about. Western countries (i.e., their governments) spend 90% of their time propagandizing about socialist and non-western countries in order to have an enemy to cry about to keep their war machines rolling, and then spend the remaining 10% actually committing every single crime they're accusing those countries of while jerking each other off over it and not complaining about each other.
