False equivalency. For a moral case to be equivalent the parties must be equivalently moral. If you are undermining a country, invading another people, taking their territory, killing them, then you’re the bad, immoral people. If you have a history of undermining, invading, taking, torturing, murdering, kidnapping, disappearing, putting them in gulags, committing crimes against humanity, and creating despotic governments that drag whole nations down with you into poverty, and backwardness, and want to escape, then, of course, you’re not just bad, but unethical, and immoral, and in fact … evil. And you need to be expelled, walled off, contained, and if necessary, eliminated permanently, as all other people who are like you have been in the past – for the benefit of all.
