Cognitive dissidence
One of the hallmarks of progressive “thought†is the ability to hold two diametrically-opposed and directly contradictory positions simultaneously, and insist that they are not only not contradictory, but that both of them are absolutely true, as well as being morally superior to anyone else’s opinions on either subject.
It is often encountered when progressives are busy trying to abolish an object or business they loathe (automobiles, tobacco, guns), while still trying to figure out some way to keep making money (tax revenue) off it. This is a classic example.
In the real world, someone with this “split†worldview would be defined (clinically) as suffering from a schizoid disorder. In progressive circles, it is defined as a higher plane of “enlightenmentâ€.
Fighting to kill seven month old babies and against eugenics can be added to the list.
