The kinda person u gotta be to be so mad at your own ignorance, you'd want to go after the only people that tried to help u.

They don't see it as vindictive. Think of it this way: Everyone is watching a movie of their own life where they are the main character. They want to see this character as an intelligent and good person, so when they see reality that contradicts what they believe, they get upset and jump through all kinda of mental hoops to try to save what they want to believe about themselves.

In this case, it's likely not that, "Oh shit I'm going to die so I want everyone else to die with me." It's more like, "I was tricked, but so was everyone else, so those other people aren't smarter than me. I'm still smart."
