The government has monopoly on theft.
Done earlier, a bit more cleverly here;
"Stealing is not bad, stealing is only bad when I am not involved, when I am involved I DEFEND IT." -British museum, probably
More like "it's not stealing when we do it, it's preserving cultures"
As the Press keeps pushing (and pretty obviously so in the coveraged of the Gaza Genocide) If it's done under the aegis of a State it's all "the authorities" doing everything proper and legal, if it's not then it's a "group" and whatever they do is illegal and bad, even if morally both do the same thing.
It's all part of the standard messaging in our societies to obey unquestioningly authority and treat the Law as if it's some kind of holy perfect thing brought down from the Heaves rather than the product of lobbying, horse trading and even corruption.
A thief never likes other thiefs stealing from them.
It's like Republicans in the USA. It's only wrong when "they" do it, not when we do it.
