How do you deal with the annoyance about good people that are more committed to being good than to being truthful?

You strip them off “good” status, and they will self-correct. If you tell them that being truthful is integral part of beeing good, they will be truthful just to preserve their status.

"Good" people will often prefer to remain in alignment with their peers over alignment with their outgroup even when the ingroup is incorrect. The solution to this problem is either preference falsification or selective stupidity. You usually cannot dictate the group values.

I agree. Small reminder how things actually are is the most we can do for those people.

Often not a good idea, because political groups often choose their most sacred beliefs in such a way that random people would not have them, i.e. they require you to explicitly state submission to beliefs that are not likely to be true, so they can recognize ingroup members.

And “another truth” can be objective/material truth. Anyway, I have absolutely no good answer.

Is there a psychological strategy to deal with preference falsification and selective stupidity of your friends that is not unbearably annoying?

Thank you, Liza! This is actually very good advice. I have to deal with the residual urge to change other people's behavior. The identification with other people is a deficient stance. I can merely offer information, based on whether it is helpful from the other's perspective.

To satisfy the urge to change, it starts within, the said X action then can be seen reflected and mirrored. The interesting phase is how to discern what is mirrored , and what is a projected mind virus. Thanks,
