It depends on what they are a normie to. Being a normie in terms of a sport isn't a big deal. Being a normie in regards to our capitalist dystopia is a serious problem.
The "noble savage" attitude towards political normies is probably motivated the concepts of blame or responsibility. It ultimately doesn't matter if they're blame worthy; what matters are the consequences of their ignorance.
Exactly, pointing fingers just eats into problem-solving time at this point. Just shovel'em aside and start digging that drainage ditch, s'what I say...
Once the job's done, we'll have all the time in the world to poke eachother in the eyes.
In Western anthropology, philosophy, and literature, the noble savage is a stock character who is uncorrupted by civilization. As such, the noble savage symbolizes the innate goodness and moral superiority of a primitive people living in harmony with Nature.
If that’s illuminating for anyone, curious to hear your thoughts.

But what does being a normie on regards to capitalism mean? Being part of it or going to work? It's not much of a choice.

Thinking it's acceptable and not being in favor of improving things.

I'm well acquainted with the "noble savage" concept, but I still don't know what this means
