(OP) User ID: 36568278 United States 03/22/2013 07:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | here is an interesting comment that stays there on top even tho made ELEVEN hours ago: Sarcastro 2052 comments • 1039 votes Full profile Sarcastro • 11 hours ago − Just a heads-up, I'm going to Disney in a couple weeks. Plan on letting the daughters get all dressed up, ride whatever rides they want, have all sorts of meals with characters, etc... When society inevitably collapses into chaos and the hordes of cannibals are chasing you, you now know who to blame- me and my terrible decision to enjoy Disney World. As my daughters inevitably turn out to be complete sociopaths who unleash chemical, biological, nuclear, or other plagues upon this earth, we'll now understand why- I let them dress up like Arial. Remember my daughter's love of Princess Jasmine as you are lying on your back in the street, broken and twisted staring into the cold, uncaring, glowing eyes of a killer robot. In the fleeting moments left of your life, as you stare down the barrel of its plasma rifle waiting for the sickly green flash that will end your existence, die weeping for all humanity knowing it was all so avoidable- if only I had made a better decision to not go to Disney! Now if you'll all excuse me, I have a reservation to make for Cinderella's Royal Table for my daughter. We're having brunch. It begins... Now I am Become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds. 🦋 |

Take the latest offering "Wreck-It Ralph": the "princess" is a totally BA commando in a first person shooter video game world being taken over by insatiable robotic bugs and leads a crack team of elite killers to fight them. Her "prince charming" is a short carpenter armed with nothing but a magic hammer and the "honey dew" glow he gets when she yells at her subordinates! Disney knows just how exposed they are and how much influence they have over kids even when parents try to keep the two apart. At least Disney has tried to follow Walt's vision by stepping up to meet the challenge. 🦋 |

(OP) User ID: 36568278 United States 03/22/2013 07:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | here's a GLP community chance to learn about, discern and decontruct propaganda, even when seemingly "silly" (the most insidious kind) let's learn something here. how to recognize cognitive dissonance when you see it aimed at you: [link to en.wikipedia.org] if you want TOOLS , learn how to spot and NEUTRALIZE "cognitive dissonance" from your mind. it is their BEST and most AMBIENT psychological weapon. In modern psychology, cognitive dissonance is the feeling of discomfort when simultaneously holding two or more conflicting cognitions: ideas, beliefs, values or emotional reactions. In a state of dissonance, people may sometimes feel "disequilibrium": frustration, hunger, dread, guilt, anger, embarrassment, anxiety, etc. [1] The phrase was coined by Leon Festinger in his 1956 book When Prophecy Fails, which chronicled the followers of a UFO cult as reality clashed with their fervent belief in an impending apocalypse.[2][3] Festinger subsequently (1957) published a book called A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance in which he outlines the theory. Cognitive dissonance is one of the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology. The theory of cognitive dissonance in social psychology proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by altering existing cognitions, adding new ones to create a consistent belief system, or alternatively by reducing the importance of any one of the dissonant elements.[1] It is the distressing mental state that people feel when they "find themselves doing things that don't fit with what they know, or having opinions that do not fit with other opinions they hold." [4] A key assumption is that people want their expectations to meet reality, creating a sense of equilibrium.[5] Likewise, another assumption is that a person will avoid situations or information sources that give rise to feelings of uneasiness, or dissonance.[1] Cognitive dissonance theory explains human behavior by positing that people have a bias to seek consonance between their expectations and reality. According to Festinger, people engage in a process he termed "dissonance reduction", which can be achieved in one of three ways: lowering the importance of one of the discordant factors, adding consonant elements, or changing one of the dissonant factors.[6] This bias sheds light on otherwise puzzling, irrational, and even destructive behavior. 🦋 |

These include: Parallel Constraint Satisfaction Processes[64] The Meta-Cognitive Model (MCM) of attitudes[65] Adaptive connectionist model of cognitive dissonance[66] Attitudes as constraint satisfaction model[67] [edit]See also Affective forecasting Antiprocess Buyer's remorse is a form of post-decision dissonance. Choice-supportive bias is a memory bias that makes past choices seem better than they actually were. Cognitive bias Cognitive distortion Cognitive inertia Cultural dissonance is dissonance on a larger scale. Double bind is a communicative situation where a person receives different or contradictory messages. Double consciousness is conceiving of one's self both as itself and as society's image of it. Doublethink is a concept present in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four that allows a person to hold two contradictory ideas simultaneously and accept both of them as correct. Effort justification is the tendency to attribute a greater (than objective) value to an outcome which demands a great effort in order to resolve a dissonance. Emotional conflict is the presence in the subconscious of different and opposing emotions concerning the same situation. The Great Disappointment of 1844 is an example of cognitive dissonance in a religious context. Illusion-of-truth effect states that a person is more likely to believe a familiar statement than an unfamiliar one. Information overload Shame Speciesism Techniques of neutralization Terror management theory True-believer syndrome demonstrates carrying a post-cognitive-dissonance belief regardless of new information.

I agree with your reaction- it is outrageous, and for this to be the #1 main headline on cnn.com is just crazy. But, I think the headline is actually enticing fodder for those who have begun to become awake and aware, and have begun to question the msm and the govt. So, what should the msm do then? PRETEND to actually debunk some things, make it SEEM as if the msm is doing real investigative journalism, etc. (While of course, controlling the entire dialogue and still implanting ideas in the reader/viewer/listeners' mind.) For example, the article argues for the Disney-manipulative side of the argument, that Disney is "consumeristic".....but then instantly notes, "-which drives our economy." Planting ideas that if you are against consumerism, you are anti-jobs. AKA, against the middle class. AKA, Disney being manipulative is a good thing, since it provides jobs for people like you and me. AKA, those crazy fucking conspiracy theorists are trying to take food off my table and wreck the whole damn economy!

(OP) User ID: 36568278 United States 03/22/2013 09:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to psr.sagepub.com] Computer simulations showed an adequate fit with several classical dissonance paradigms (inhibition, initiation, forced compliance, free choice, & misattribution), as well as novel studies that underscore the role of affect. A comparison with an earlier constraint satisfaction approach (Shultz & Lepper, 1996) indicates that the feedforward implementation provides a similar fit with these shortcomings of this previous model.
