"how can you have an opinion if you are not informed?"
What Arendt didn't foresee was there would be a large & growing cohort of preternaturally stupid people who are told by grifters and political opportunists that there wholly uninformed opinions are equally as important as any other

Arendt could flawlessly see through dictators.
"The moment we no longer have a free press, anything can happen. What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed?"
~ Hannah Arendt

I believe that what Arendt said is still 100% correct, but social media, newspapers and magazines that are owned by billionaires make it easier for stupid people to believe that their baseless opinions are equally important.
