Pretty much. It’s a tired analogy, but the “unawakened” people in The Matrix come to mind. They’re not helping the cause, but it’s not right to declare that they’re evil or deserve hate like OP was suggesting.

They don’t know any better but that doesn’t mean they deserve ire. They’re reasonably reacting based on the information they have.
