Whose responsability is one's ignorance? A ruthless individualist would place the blame only on the person, ignoring the world wround them and the community or lack thereof.

I think everyone has a duty to be the best they can, and everyone is responsible for themselves, yet it is undeniable to me that we all live, and especially the people from the US, in an information system that aims at eroding the truth and our capabilities to gather it. I also think an important part in how this corruption of information works is by also eroding our empathy for the people who are "dumber" than us. You dehumanize ignorant people. You can deny it, but so many like you repeat this. You will justify yourself, which is understandable, no one wants to be the cause of suffering. And yet.

Dehumanization is the weapon of the enemy, we do not need it, we will not use it. These people won't magically get smarter if you hate on them, in fact, they will take refuge on those that present themselves as loving teachers, but are actually ruthless abusers.

I guess it's cathartic to hate those ignorant bums, see where that leads you
