We _can_ call it hypocrisy, tho. So long as they're pretending the rules are consistent for both sides in order to keep the other side abiding by rules they have no intention of abiding by themselves, it's a clear double-standard upheld by lying that it isn't one

I mean sure, there's a case to argue they aren't being hypocrites if they straightforwardly argue that the rules for me and for thee are deliberately and explicitly different ones because of where we stand in some hierarchy, but they aren't making that argument (or at least, not out loud) yet
