How is it self-aggrandizing to say that carnists know what they're doing is wrong but have put up intellectual and emotional walls against that knowledge? I seriously don't get that.
Also, what's up with the edit to your previous comment? You think carnists are right but just aren't good enough at debating to counter vegan arguments? How do you come to that conclusion?
Edit: You know what? It doesn't matter. I don't want to argue with you about whether cognitive dissonance is real or not. Frankly, you're probably right, it probably isn't. If you're not vegan, please consider becoming vegan. I'm out.
I mean I don't buy that have you seen some of these blue no matter who people.
In any case, probably best not to immediately reach for the most self-aggrandizing explanation of the phenomenon as possible.
