Don’t believe everything you think: it’s almost election time – kittyjones

Never has there been a greater need for critical thinking, yet it seems there has never been a time when that has been more difficult, because of the constant bombardment from the media of fragmented, discordant, conflicting, non-linear narratives, purposefully misdirecting lies, Orwellian double-speak and other strategies being deployed to keep us in a state of fearful, confused, manipulable stupification and…false consciousness.
Election time is almost here. That means it’s open season on the electorate, with cognitive dissonance warfare as the weapon of choice.
She goes on to examine cognitive dissonance in a deeper way than was possible in the VP article. Even if you disagree with Ms Jones’ politics, this is well worth a read. Give it a visit.
