RE: Cognitive Dissonance: The Most Prolific Psychological Plague of our Time (The War in Syria)
I think the saddest part of all - the people don't care about the truth anymore.
When you point them to wiki-leaks and other hard facts -BOOM!- cognitive dissonance and MOTIVATED REASONING take over.
Thanks for this informative post @Sarahabed
You're right, I deal with such people on a daily basis. They get very upset and refuse to accept information that will shatter their illusions, that will make them question what they thought was true. They would rather be comforted with lies than accept the ugly truth.
