Are stupid/ignorant people self-aware?

With all these posts on twitter/FB about all the shite that's been going down I fear for America.
So I ask, are stupid, ignorant people self-aware?
I mean, do they say to themselves, "frick it, I know I can't spell for shite; I don't care what people think!" or is it "Yeah, I'ma get this bitch arse... yeah, this shite looks legit!" *send*

They cannot be. There's just no way.
I don't think you can refute that after following the events of the past couple of days.

They literally have no desire for intelligence because it isnt given to them... it is something that has to be earned. No desire to earn it. So, why bother

Judging from your post I can think of one who isn't.

No chance. Even if they do have a small hint of self awareness they are too blinded by their belief.

Well ignorant people, no. That's the meaning of the word ignorant.
I'm sure some stupid people know they're stupid, but the ones that don't need to stop being ignorant of their stupidity and listen to smart people.

I forget what it is called, but I think there is an effect where stupid people have a tendency to think that they are smarter than they really are probably because they are too stupid to understand real complexity and smarter people tend to think that they are stupider than they really are because they can see how much they really don't understand.

But here's the thing... do they not notice that the shite they say/post doesn't look like everyone elses? I mean, after so long even illiterate people 'learn' words to get by.. they might not know how to spell, but they know what the word "cheeseburger" looks like.. you know?

Depends how drunk I am.
But more often than not I'm vulgar, funny, and quite the "like grabber" with my posts.
