I agree with most of what you’ve stated, but I think OP is also including those who have willfully rejected another viewpoint NOT by reading/researching/listening and then considering, but by simply dismissing it out-of-hand because the creeps in fake news told them to do so. They were literally told “The other side is going to tell you this is wrong, but we don’t listen to them because they’re raycist and we’re better and smarter.” Normies embraced that BS! They chose ignorance.
If someone addressed one of us here on GAW and told us something opposite of what we believed to be true, we would CONSIDER it, we would RESEARCH it and we would change our mind if it was discovered to be the truth. We would ask questions and also go back and research what we had believed to be true to LEARN where we had misjudged. TRUTH MATTERS.
So, to your last point, focusing on the cure vs the symptom... people need to learn how to THINK. Intellectual laziness is not an option.

Nice. Willful ignorance (evasion) and a woeful lack of critical thinking are their downfall.
Except it's OUR downfall
WWG1WGA... works against us as much as we want it to work for us too.
