    It depends on what they are a normie to. Being a normie in terms of a sport isn’t a big deal. Being a normie in regards to our capitalist dystopia is a serious problem.

    The “noble savage” attitude towards political normies is probably motivated the concepts of blame or responsibility. It ultimately doesn’t matter if they’re blame worthy; what matters are the consequences of their ignorance.
