    No. But it’s important to remember a person can be immature, ignorant, propagandised or straight up stupid so, if you have the patience for it, one should try to explain some basic truths of the world and wait for their reply before dismissing them entirely.

      Yeah I think ignorance isn’t itself a crime, but willful ignorance, callous disregard, moral/ethical laziness, and similar drivers of complacency can be considered problems worth assigning some degree of responsibility. So the goal should be to isolate one of those root causes before going on the offense.
