      level of cognitive dissonance

      it’s doublethink. there is no “dissonance.” they literally believe two completely contradictory things simultaneously and have no problem with it

        Yeah. Cognitive dissonance is “the mental disturbance people feel when their beliefs and actions are inconsistent and contradictory”. If you’re happy with holding contradictory beliefs, that’s doublethink.
