George Orwell perfectly described this phenomenon in the book 1984 as "Doublethink."

Doublethink is holding two contradictory beliefs simultaneously.

Believing or saying anything other than what you're supposed to believe or say is called "Thoughtcrime."

The process of suppressing the conflicting emotional response of Doublethink is called "Crimestop."

It's amazing to actually see these concepts in action so many years after he wrote that book.
