This is becoming more common, unfortunately

From Wikipedia, but it does capture Orwell's internet:

"Doublethink is the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in distinct social contexts. Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy and neutrality. Also related is cognitive dissonance, in which contradictory beliefs cause conflict in one's mind. Doublethink is notable due to a lack of cognitive dissonance—thus the person is completely unaware of any conflict or contradiction."

Any time you hear a statement along the lines of "my truth", or roughly "my facts", that person is engaging in doublethink.

You will if the day comes and you find you can't trust anything, like having one of those individuals telling you the sun rises in the east and you stay up to see if true.

Society in general fails to function if doublethink is the norm.

Then again, perhaps you're feeling some sort of discomfort?

Why all the anger? Or perhaps we are reading your shortness or succinctness as anger I don't know.

The OP simply made a thread about a logical fallacy.

Anger? Lol. You ppl read too much into post on the internet. I'm just laughing at the nonsense. There are individuals you know. Why are you talking to me anyway, instigator?

does anyone even understand this concept?

just look at the moral juxtaposition our society has formed, americans are an interesting bunch, over 70% of them consider themself christians, following the all mighty rule of a god, yet, they always push for democracy in the world because the idea of being rule by one mighty tyrant is wrong to them, but they never question this contradiction, the bible belt is very well know for their love of weapons, like medieval europe during the crusade, they're eager to go to war for their god, even is said god ask them to put the other cheek.

also america spend billions in order to develop new weapons, all to "humanely" murder other people.

growing with "be nice to other people" / "beat out the competition"

and yeah, most people isn't aware of that, the age of information has allowed the development of convenient "half-truth"

I will admit I didn't get my dose of penis this morning due to work so I have an attitude now. I will leave until these problems are solved. I recognize the moody bullshit in myself. Now I excuse myself to go get right.
