For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

I think actually it's cognitive dissonance (because the two beliefs are conflicting)
EDIT: Actually I just realized you probably meant the original post, not the guy you were directly responding to
No I’m responding directly. The purposeful conflation of terms to muddy definitions and confuse the argument is called equivocation
Cognitive dissonance is a psychology phenomenon where people separate contradicting ideas they hold and place a barrier between them in their mind to avoid ever thinking of both at the same time because it causes pain, the same type of mental discomfort we experience when we are confronted with being wrong about something.
Kind of the opposite of what they were discussing, where multiple things get shoved into one amorphous blob.
Ah, thanks, I misunderstood you
