“the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.”
Yep. These Log Cabiners must be real galaxy brains…
That's literally the definition of cognitive dissonance. And it's a hallmark of literal brainwashing. Like, for real this is a common tactic in cults. I outta know, for what it's worth, cause I grew up Mormon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah I’ve heard this quote so much and then when I read this article I suddenly realized the quote is dumb haha. I wonder if these folks were indoctrinated republican from a young age? My guess is probably not all of them.
There is a version of it that isn't cognitive dissonance but, willful hypocrisy is kinda its own thing. Basically to use one I hold genocide is bad, I would gleefully commit genocide against the Seventh Day Adventists. These are both positions I hold and recognize make me a hypocrite, but frankly speaking I ain't a fan of organized religions, holier than though types, or folks who piss off my family for a hundred and fifty fucken years. But yeah it can vary in severity of the hypocrisy and severity.
As an aside I mean the destruction of their culture and religion via the destruction of community, mostly at least id probably shoot at least one or two for being annoying but that's just me being openl murderous. I don't believe in hiding how much of an asshole I am, if ya know it's a bear trap don't complain when it bites you.
