Cognizant Dissonance Anemia (CDA) is the newest discovery of psychological dysfunction affecting growing numbers of Americans, sending shock waves through medical professionals and political experts alike. Some fear this trending disorder has the potential to become the very cause of the destruction of American society. To date, there is no known cure, treatment, or vaccine. Pfizer did not immediately respond to requests for comment. In fact, they didn’t respond at all.
Cognizant Dissonance is defined as “…the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person’s actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things.” Cognition
Other definitions maintain that “cognitive dissonance describes the discomfort experienced when two cognitions are incompatible with each other.” – Leon Festinger
In simpler times, cognizant dissonance was likely known as “having a guilty conscience.”
Anemia can be caused by a variety of factors. Symptoms include tiredness, weakness, shortness of breath, headaches, lack of energy, constant whining, up-talking, loss of sense of humor, and frequent sneezing.
When combined, Cognizant Dissonance Anemia is an individual’s discomfort with perceiving contradictions in current events indicating imminent danger to life, liberty, and happiness, but lacking the initiative and energy to actually do anything about it. Diagnosis is often mistaken for Contagious Apathy, already at epidemic levels throughout the country in adults of voting age.
Treatment remains vague inasmuch as neither the CDC, RNC nor DNC consider CDA an issue. In fact, unconfirmed reports have circulated for some time that these organizations do not see CDA as a problem at all; lack of citizen involvement actually makes their jobs easier and nefarious goals more attainable by maintaining minimum interference from conscientious, motivated individuals whose intellects have effectively self-immunized them.
If you believe you may be a victim of CDA, some self-testing has shown positive results. First, read several current NYT or WaPo ‘news stories’ or watch 30 uninterrupted minutes of NPR, C-SPAN, or CNN. Immediately take your blood pressure. If normal, you likely have contracted CDA. Regular doses of Tom Sowell articles mixed with equal parts of Babylon Bee Editorials have been shown efficacious among individuals in Red states. Blue state data are currently unavailable.
Efforts to stop CDA are being conducted by libertarian, anarcho-capitalist, and volunteerist organizations. Donations are welcome and not tax deductible. Of course.

I have caused many people to have Cog Dis, it generally causes the victim 2-3 weeks of sleepless nights with high anxiety. Once they come to grips with the lies and embrace truth they become stronger as time passes. It is very difficult to admit that you have been tranced into believing the lies.
The lies are so deep and so evil now the sheep may just put two and two together on their own. Light will always drown out and overcome darkness.
No you haven’t. To believe that, you’d have to be suffering from it yourself.
Presenting the truth does not cause cognitive dissonance. It is the test FOR cognitive dissonance.
You might want to get yourself tested. Oh, wait…never mind!
Scrut- You know not of what you speak. I have caused cog dis in sheep, at least I have reformed some. What are you doing ,bruh?
Oh yeah. You should DEFINITELY get tested. You got it BAD…bruh.
Suffering from cognitive dissonance, Dearie? Well Auntie’s old family cure includes a nice warm enema followed by another hot-water bottle to those other afflicted areas. Couldn’t help you say? Couldn’t hurt.
Think like Colonel Henry Blake in the TV show, M.A.S.H.
to major frank burns…”Frank, I’m prescribing you a high colonic and a five mile hike!”
Guaranteed cure for those suffering from terminal BS.
pleasant evening to you, Aunty. I survived an auto crash a few hours ago and am calming myself with a hot toddy. I sincerely hope I don’t have to resort to an enema tonight. I don’t think my masculinity could take the blow!
Glad you are not seriously injured, Scrutin. Auntie shall have a third Margarita in your honor. Salud!
I got T boned driving though an intersection by a distracted driver making a right turn on red against the light. I got off with a few scuff marks on my noggin and a bruise on my thigh.
I thank God that all six of us involved in both vehicles were uninjured. Pretty sure my Ford Fusion was totaled by the Chevy Avalanche. It’s just a legal thing now. Estate defense mode for a couple months.
God is Good, Wise, Just and Merciful always.
Blessings!

I like it! I might have to get that on a custom plate for my new car!
I’ll be honest here…I never made a connection between C.D. and feelings of guilt.
My understanding of cognitive dissonance is that it is the ability to hold two diametrically opposed ideas as both being true.
A logical mind WOULD experience guilt at even momentarily entertaining such bullshit…which points to the fact that C.D. is a mental disorder. Feelings about mental illness are hardly relevant. It is what it is.
I’m seeing relativity but not causation.
Cog Diss? Don’t believe i had heard the term until…http://twoicefloes.com/
Appeared on ZH. Their (husband&wife, ‘original’ far as i know) site still online, ALL ‘good stuff’. Believe on patreon currently, or whatever it’s called. IMHO, worth reading. All of it.
Unsure i’ve grasped the definition? my opinion: ya ‘believe’ something. That ‘belief’ is folded/spindled/mutilated. shredded. Shot Down. Blown up. etc. in every conceivable way, Completely.
Ya stick to your original ‘belief’.
Sample:
1) Fairly large ‘concern’ over ‘Student Debt’
2) ‘GI bill of rights’ think it was/is? called. Before my time, believe paid college tuition one of the main ‘benefits’.
WAS the start of it ALL, student debt debacle-wise. Same. Only Different.
SAME group benefitted, $-wise. The recipients are/were fodder in every sense of the word.
Stopped reading at “psychological disfunction”. That means that some psychologist just made up some problem for him to get paid to fix. Psychologists are a cancer on society crazier than those they pretend to help. Crazy is like pornography you know it when you see it. overthecliff
