It's the same with climate skeptics. The people posting illiterate comments online are not the people that you should be angry at. The people you should be angry at are those manipulating illiterate people into acting this way, and of course the people paying them to do that.

Getting angry at these people is like getting angry at your Sim. It's not their fault that they have collapsed in a puddle of tears instead of making dinner. You have to look at the factors that led them to do that. And fix them.

I get where you're coming from, but I feel like you're "noble-savaging" these people a bit. They have self-agency. They aren't mindless drones, or NPCs, or Sims characters. Of course people can be misled. But its also their responsibility to evaluate and also self-evaluate accurately.
