Part of the reason that the government's fear mongering is succeeding is because so many people are so ignorant, that it is easier for government to frighten people in submission.

Summary

This quote suggests that the government's ability to spread fear among the public is facilitated by the widespread ignorance of the people. The lack of knowledge or awareness makes it easier for the government to incite fear and manipulate the population into submission or compliance. The quote implies that if people were more knowledgeable or critical of the government's tactics, they would be less susceptible to fear-mongering and better equipped to resist control.
