Pretending to have morals and care about human rights and marginalised peoples whenever those groups can be used to justify imperialist foreign interests.

Forgetting about all of the above whenever human rights or marginalised peoples get in the way of capitalist interests.

"Western Values" is just code for "Whatever helps the interests of our empire and by extension the pockets of the ruling class of it."
