    Nah, as in, no pity, I assume?

    The problem is, many believers (arguable how many, but it could be pretty substantial) could be regarded as legally mentally handicapped. This is generally regarded as an IQ of 70 or below. What about those that have IQs from 70-85? Not legally disabled, but very easy to manipulate by intelligent people and would have a difficult time navigating propaganda.

    Are the extremely stupid at fault? I’d say no, the entire blame should be placed on those in power who are manipulating these people for personal gain. It’s truly psychopathic and sadistic.

    But no pity whatsoever to someone who is smart enough to understand, but chooses to go along due to cowardice or other reasons.
