Are you sure they’re blind to it. Read Dostoyevsky. Read Eric Hoffer. I don’t think they are blind to it. They hate civilization and they hate themselves. They want to dissolve into — and dissolve everything into — utter and complete nihilism.

“We will Stone Shakespeare and pluck Copernicus’ eyes out...” — a character in The Possessed.

I’m talking about the mindless hordes of PCdiots. Not those calling the dance.

Remember, indoctrination is the norm among them. A thinking man, one who is actually educated to think rather than encouraged to feel, may become aware. Philosophy is likely reserved for those who show more promise.
