All normies are ignorant. That's what makes them normies.
Some are stupid, and they can be forgiven.
Others are just fucking lazy -- willfully ignorant -- and that apathy is the root of most of society's problems.
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe."
-- Thomas Jefferson
