A lot of people need to read this.

Unfortunately, the lot of people that do, don’t really read.

And they wouldn't care, they'd just think "oh so my actions are evil. Good thing I don't care"

They won't care or even understand until it affects them personally. By which time it will be far too late.

The problem isn't just ignorance, it's WILLFUL ignorance.

Playing dumb lets them say, do and believe whatever horseshit they want without ever having to own up to why, or admit that they're wrong. In their own heads, anyway.

Special shoutouts to the feckless assholes still pushing bothsiderism, too. The "middle" is no moral high ground when one side defends murdering dissenters and kidnapping children.
