Anyway.. People rationalize things naturally.
They just want what they want (Which is usually instant gratification, or something close) and they want to feel good about it.
So, they rationalize.. and we have an almost infinite ability to convince ourselves of stuff.
Look at the niggers who rob and steal? They feel this is okay, because of the horrors that were visited on their ancestors.. Even if they never happened.. Even if their ancestors came here as free men, and never suffered these things at all.
Because it's not about those "horrors" It's about getting what you want, right now, and being able to settle it in your own mind.. Rationalizing away your own responsibility, so you can do or believe what you want and still sleep at night.. Thinking you're, basically, a "good person"
Critical thinking begins with honest introspection.. which is ego damaging.. So most people avoid it and rationalize the lie instead!
We're so good at this, have you ever noticed that you never have to teach a child the bad things? Those come naturally.. You have to teach them the good, and especially to be objectively introspective.. Because that's incredibly difficult.
