Are you sure you aren't conflating "dumb" with "is not an expert in the particular historical / political silo" ?
Let's be honest, we aren't exactly must see tv here. What we discuss is not only boring and esoteric, the amount of information that you need to absorb before it starts to click is at least equal to 2 years of university. If not more because we have to find and sift through 1000 pieces of garbage before we find a tangential reference to something useful and then we have to spend a bunch of years actually testing out the ideas in conversation in various hostile environments.
It's probably safe to say that they are at most lazy, but honestly, I am more lazy than pretty much anyone. I am only on here because my "holy shit I'm in danger, these people want to kill me, my family and my entire race" switch got triggered and I tripped into the rabbit hole.
It's fun to write what you just wrote, but by framing that demographic as lesser than us and elevating us,
It's fun to write what you just wrote, but by framing that demographic as lesser than us and elevating us, it inadvertently defangs us and and encourages us to sit on our thumbs doing nothing. Reframing it at least in terms of demographics would allow us to start imagining how we might segment the problem and attack it systematically.
Also, don't forget, when you are on the dark side long enough it changes you. I can no longer fathom things like Tiktok. I mean, I know it fulfills something in people and from a behavioural perspective it probably provies for the need for social proof. I can also imagine being that young once where social proof was that important to me to the point where I might have had a Tiktok account or whatever, but my brain can no longer process that culture. The same goes for them.
I also wonder what would happen if we managed to convert enough of them to our side and ended up with an army of Sith behind us.
Would that be a good thing? Or is it better for us to be an intellectual and mythological nexus and feed them just the bits and pieces they need?
Tiktok is just a means for attention whores to attention whore - and to gaslight others into attention whoring and debasing themselves as well. It's the same bullshit which is being peddled by "mainstream" culture in general - it's all about making as many people debase themselves as possible.
The truly mentally strong are the ones who take one look at all of that rubbish, say "That's horseshit" and refuse to have anything to do with said debasement.
Well damn...

Agreed, the amount of information i have gained since all this started blows what I walked away from highschool with out of the water. Trying to talk to normies now feels like the volunteer job I used to do (helping take care of mentally ill people)
I'm not even joking.
yeah dumb to not realize they aren’t experts and then go try and look into stuff rather than just trusting the TV
no what I mean is if you have someone you know who is putting hours upon hours of research into a topic, you should trust that person if that person is someone you know to not be maliciously motivated in their actions towards you
trusting a dumb "family member" who is worried about what the vax will do to you seems more logical then trusting the news who says "it's fine" but doesn't give a shit about you if you live or die
