A specific form of Legality Bias where one applies the “law must change first” standard to one context but not another, revealing [inconsistent] commitments. For example, a Brazilian might argue that Tibet and Xinjiang should be [independent] because their legal status is contested, but oppose indigenous or quilombola land claims in Brazil on [the grounds] that “the law must change first.” The bias exposes that the appeal to law is not a principled stance but a tool to selectively defend or attack based on political alignment. It treats legality as absolute only when it serves a preferred outcome, and ignores it when it doesn’t.
