Break this part of the sentence down by sentence structure if you will and show me why you think the phrase in parenthesis is modifying or referring back to the simple people instead of the thoughtless and ignorant. Truly, this is poorly translated as well as poor use of punctuation. If the translator wanted the phrase in parenthesis to modify the simple people, he has done a poor job in making that clear, IMO.
