I lie to myself all the time. In fact just the other day I was thinking, "Damn, that Doglegwarrior sure posts some good threads!"

I believe white people will survive....

Deception always starts with ourselves.

we all have.

theyre called vaxxtards

This is the majority of "Americans."

The psyche of the average American is a wasteland of contradictions, hypocrisies lies and myths.

Why???

In order to better consume!!!

It is that simple.

Every military man has realized a life of comfort and luxury is a toxic poison that weakens the mind and spirit and the body itself. The more you crave this life the worse of a human being you will be to get it.

There are internal conversations with the self as to why you did something and most people lie to themselves; to paint themselves as virtuous, brave, worthwhile, intelligent, patriotic and industrious.

If you take a close look though... *You see satan's worm sucking blood from innocent defenseless victims.

This is a horrifying sight that induces madness.
So lies must be crafted.

They know they lie. They known they live a lie. They know you know they are a fucking worthless liar.

But they will continue to lie. Then... They will use their position of power they get from the lie to shut you up and prove ...they are right because they are respected by those that tend the lie so they are more important even if you are more right*.

The number one thing I hear from boomers when I kill all their lies and serve up the truth irrefutable...

A red faced screaming bitch screaming I DONT CARE NOBODY CARES FUCK OFF!!! Tbey are terrified and bewildered so they resort to bullying attempts to shut up that voice that is so embarassing and revealing to their simpletons lies.

This mental state was covered in depth in 1984.

Doublethink.

I lie to myself often.

"Wow, I'm gonna make it!"

Lol, no.

I don't really know why people do this but I see it all the time, and it's almost impossible for me to not say something to them

My roommate. He does it every day even when I call him out. He says he was just messing but he's truly lying or actually forgot.

For example I'll ask where my work mug is and he says he didn't touch it yet I literally watched him clean the dishes hours ago.

Most people will stick with information they are comfortable with. The comfortable part can be based on how the "fact" jives with other ideas they have or with what their perceived group consensus is. Media can distort the group consensus. People rarely move from their comfort zone when they see no short term reward for doing so.

Hulk Hogan

Yes. And I'm not sure.
Lol

Holohoaxers are these type

I experience that here all the time. Flattards and Christcucks being two prime examples.

o Stars rotate about two poles. Flattard McNasty ignores this.

o Christcucks follow Saul the Pharisee and worship the god of Israel. Call you a kike if you point that out to them. Funniest is "TallestSkill" has become the newest member of this sect. Full on NPC mode.

It's multifaceted.

On the surface it's to save face.

Often, however, people are out of touch with their own intentions.

White lies to others can result in gas lighting yourself.

Other times we are well-aware of our conscious lies.

A recent article from ZH discusses cognitive dissonance. That's a word that gets thrown around a lot but is rarely understood.

"In 1954 Leon Festinger created an experiment to evaluate the phenomenon of cognitive dissonance, his setup was again quite simple.

A subject is given a repetitive and dull physical task to do (originally turning wooden pegs, but other variations use other tasks).

After the task is complete, the subject is instruced to go and prepare the next subject (actually a lab assistant) for the task, by lying and telling him/her how interesting the task was.

It’s at this point the subjects are divided into two groups, one group is offered $20 to lie, the other only $1.

This is the real experiment.

The Conclusion: After lying to the fake subjects, and being paid their money, the real subjects take part in a post-experiment interview and record their genuine thoughts on the task.

Interestingly, the 20-dollar generally told the truth [in the post interview], that they found the task dull and repetitive. While the one-dollar group, more often than not, claimed to have genuinely enjoyed the task.

This is cognitive dissonance in action.

Essentially, for the $20 group, the money was a good reason to lie to their fellow test subject, and they could justify their own behaviour in their head. But, for the $1 group, the meagreness of the reward made their dishonesty internally unjustifiable, so they had to unconsciously create their own justification by convincing themselves they weren’t lying at all.

In summary, if you offer people a small reward for doing something, they will pretend to enjoy it, or be otherwise invested, to justify only making a small profit.

[...]

NOTE: A variation on this experiment introduces a third group, who are paid nothing to lie. This group is not affected by cognitive dissonance, and will honestly appraise the task just as the well-paid group do."

This applies to your example because we often do it to ourselves. The reward doesn't have to be monetary, as it was in Festinger's experiment. The reward of saving face or not losing social status is also incentivizing.

In short: in meager situations we unconsciously make up stories and convince ourselves that we aren't lying at all. That's what is meant by cognitive dissonance.

Women are very good at this. This is why it is often hard to detect lying in women. They convince themselves via emotion as opposed to logic that the lie they are telling is true.
