It refers to the stress of believing two or more mutually exclusive things at the same time.
Stress like the inner conflict, that helps thank you!
I wouldn't say inner conflict but moreso conditioned thinking.
If someone has been conditioned to have certain beliefs and values then they see evidence that those values are wrong they'll ignore it completely.
Like a person on welfare complaining about "welfare queens". They are receiving govt assistance while complaining about people who receive govt assistance.
