  • Many people are giving wrong answers. Cognitive dissonance is NOT simply holding two opposing ideas in your head. Cognitive DISSONANCE is the uneasy feeling people are supposed to get when holding discongruent ideas at the same time.

    Some people do not feel cognitive dissonance at all even while openly voicing the opinions. Great examples are all over politics. If one is for women having the freedom to make their own medical decisions, but oppose abortion bejng legal, those are two opposing views that SHOULD trigger unease and make them reconsider one position or the other.

    A better example is people that believe laws should apply equally to everyone, but then go on to say Trump should totally be immune. That SHOULD cause dissonance, but it doesn’t for far too many.






  • If they’ve lived SEVENTY YEARS and haven’t come to realize that black people and lgbtq+ people are JUST normal people trying to live a moderately different life…

    Then yes, yes they are maliciously stupid. Ignorance eventually becomes a choice after so many oportunities have been passed up.

    Where do you think the general fetishization comes from? Cultures that demonize the existence of breasts and shapely asses.

    What cultures demonize breasts? Conservative religions.

    In cultures that do not promote shame over basic sexual attraction, nudity is no big deal. You’re trying to put the cart before the horse, which is just… really, really stupid logic.
