you don't appear to know what cognitive dissonance is

yes i do, its like people ignoring the 1 billion $ loss and even if people show a certain person they will still see it as not that bad of a thing.

but on the same token , trying to change someone's mind over what is good or bad is based on subjective perceptioin in many times on many factors, not just one view. Some people cannot handle other's not getting upset over something.

example:

People tend to seek consistency in their beliefs and perceptions. So what happens when one of our beliefs conflicts with another previously held belief? The term cognitive dissonance is used to describe the feeling of discomfort that results from holding two conflicting beliefs. When there is a discrepancy between beliefs and behaviors, something must change in order to eliminate or reduce the dissonance.

but certain group will not change that view! no matter the fact's. 

"The amount of dissonance people experience can depend on a few different factors, including how highly we value a particular belief and degree to which our beliefs are inconsistent."

the point is some look at a certain group of people that no matter what they show them that it's like talking to a brick wall. and many time's it irks the people about that they cannot convince those to change , but on the same token complain that those people not willing to admit things a certain way, and since they have the "largest voice" on the internet they are keeping the wrong "facts" alive despite what they were shown.
