You are strectching the meaning of the words to make them fit, IMHO. Not sure what the purpose is, so I’m not going to pursue the matter further. After all, I’m not Mr. English-Usage-Authority. What I use words for is what I have read them used for. If I use them otherwise, I tend to make it clear that I am doing so. I find the word ‘ignorant’ to properly classify the intentionally ignorant and to distinguish them from the ‘stupid’, who don’t know better and possibly can’t be taught to know better. The latter I might well try to help avoid catastrophe. The former I will let dangle on the rope they have gone and fetched for themselves.
In any case, those who are being wilfully blind about all this are not going to be somehow preserved from the effects. They might even be hurt far more than you and I. After all, you and I are quite aware of what can happen and that bad social, economic and political effects are highly likely to happen, given the present course and declared intentions. So, we’ll come out damaged but generally okay. They might well get run over. Not pretty. Not what anyone deserves, but justice sometimes means that those who refuse to look both ways crossing streets get put in hospital. If the case is sufficiently pitiful, perhaps they might merit a visit to commisserate.

Really? I would say that Justice is what everyone deserves; and yet no-one wants. It is Justice that will demand accountability for every idle word and every deed when God judges all of mankind.
It is Justice that we, evil and debased humanity, should be destroyed.
It is Mercy and Grace, and frankly God’s Love, that He allows us many, many “second-chances”... and THE way to escape damnation by way of Jesus.
