I'm still not convinced. Just because you hold yourself to a certain standard for your population doesn't mean you can't behave differently with other people. I don't know of a system of government that requires that kind of ethical consistency but someone else probably does. But my point is that democracy doesn't seem to be one of those.

I do get you, though, it's beyond shitty, and looks like a bunch of self-serving hypocrites. I simply don't believe it's a requirement.

I'm not claiming that democracies have some literal obligation to support or promote democracy elsewhere, just that it is, like you said, hypocritical when to claim to support the tenants and ideals of democracy while actively suppressing it elsewhere
