It's strange to complain about how people are stupid and ignorant yet do nothing to help change that. Are you educating them? Are you giving them the resources to educate themselves? Are you teaching them about identification of valid sources? Or are you just calling them dumb?
I get that wilful ignorance is frustrating but I think we still have to try to do our part to educate. Like, I'm Balkan where everyone's resource is the parents or a "friend" and not academic works, but I'm gonna shove academics works in their face anyway.
& I'm not saying this is everyone's responsibility but it absolutely is the responsibility of anyone who positions themselves as a scholar or educator in whatever community they're in.
& btw there will always be those people who refuse to learn & will stick to their misinformation and cling to ignorance as if it's something to carry with pride, but there are far more people who want to learn, don't know where to start, and they're the ones we should support.
