I hope that's a minority of a minority.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
-- Isaac Asimov

..How an 'accretion disk' forms.. ...
Gravity (er, not Gravitas) decrees that, poco á poco: small bits of agitprop+its containers 'jes grow-like-Topsy. Hitler was a lone so-so 'painter'; met a few similarly-disturbed. Providence locked him up to write the SOLE 'Book' asociated with 'Fascism'. QED?
THEN: there was no Intarweb/e-mail/video 24/7 etc. But RADIO alone concretized the Masses just after ... you know the Story.
The Mofos described are merely the canary-in-the-mine-Mine!-MINE!!! ... shaft-ing of the human credulous-mass. (Of course I Hope that my extrapolation is Rong, RONG, but I've been watching Stuff ..ever since finding out that My Gramma--That one--was a child-in-adult-clothing (while I was still a child too).
tl;dr: This Is Not a DRILL, I wot.

Remember, people in 1900 didn't know what an atom was. They didn't know its structure.
They also didn't know what a radio was, or an airport, or a movie, or a television, or a computer, or a cell phone, or a jet, an antibiotic, a rocket, a satellite, an MRI, ICU, IUD, IBM, IRA, ERA, EEG, EPA, IRS, DOD, PCP, HTML, internet. interferon, instant replay, remote sensing, remote control, speed dialing, gene therapy, gene splicing, genes, spot welding, heat-seeking, bipolar, prozac, leotards, lap dancing, email, tape recorder, CDs, airbags, plastic explosive, plastic, robots, cars, liposuction, transduction, superconduction, dish antennas, step aerobics, smoothies, twelve-step, ultrasound, nylon, rayon, teflon, fiber optics, carpal tunnel, laser surgery, laparoscopy, corneal transplant, kidney transplant, AIDS... None of this would have meant anything to a person in the year 1900. They wouldn't know what you are talking about.
