I believe that Croatia is the best country in the world to live in. The claim that there was a bloody war 30 years ago in Croatia is incoherent with that belief, so I reject it. Is that coherentism or confirmation bias?
It depends. Do you look at other countries to determine their quality of life? If you don’t take that data into consideration, it’s confirmation bias.
If, however, your belief that Croatia is the best place to live AND you reject the unarguable fact of the Yugoslav Wars, that’s coherentism, which means your belief is justified (not true, just justified).
But, if you are aware of the mountains of evidence that the Yugoslav Wars actually happened and you reject or decline to consider it, we’re back to confirmation bias.
So, you can take your pick between two idiotic paradigms for Croatia being the best place to live.

Addendum: it’s not clear why a war 30 years ago would disqualify Croatia as ‘the best country to live in’.
