For example, I heavily dislike the political message in Black Panther, specially the narrative that without white colonies, Africa would have developed in a similar way to Europe
I'm not entirely sure that was the message of Black Panther.
Wakanda is a fictional country with its own unique backstory that is connected to the presence of Vibranium. I guess the conceit is that if Africa had shared the fortune other parts of the world, including Europe, had in terms of resources, it might have developed differently, but that particular argument was not an indictment of white colonialism.
However, the film's most pertinent message was about how so much of the world, particularly outside of Africa, is dominated by a racial dynamic which oppresses black people (much of it directly linked to the legacy of trans-Atlantic slavery). Killmonger was trying to redress that balance, but bear in mind that he is the film's villain, and that his methods are condemned by the film's heroes, and by implication the filmmakers, for being far too radical and bloodthirsty.
As for cognitive dissonance, you're right. We all do it. The best thing is to be aware that we all experience it.
That said, I always try to separate my personal politics and belief system from my visceral response to a piece of art. If a conservative or reactionary piece of art is done well, I will say so, because for me good film, music, TV, theatre and literature is about form and style, as well as substance, and even when it comes to substance, I like to be challenged by a good argument made well, even if I end up disagreeing with it (in other words, I will prefer an intelligently made conservative argument to a glib and thoughtless liberal argument, even if my political sympathies are very much to the left).
