Reporters usually get things wrong. The more you know about something the easier it is to see where they mess up. It's never a good idea to bet the farm on something you read in "the news".
As for running to a dictionary to hunt down neologisms, only if it matters. "Normie" smells like "boogie", just a trendy brush to paint whole swaths of people in one stroke, ultimately meaningless.

"Normie" should have been so obvious as to not require a dictionary. The term obviously implies conformist. I didn't look it up until you demanded a definition, whereas I did have to look up zeta potential. (A Midwestern Doctor uses that term a lot.)

You're missing the point. "Normies" are those who buy the propaganda campaign and do its boogie-woogie (get the "covid", meaning dybbuk spelled backwards, https://astutenews.com/2020/06/on-the-occult-meaning-of-the-term-covid/ shots), while disparaging Substack.

It's a broad term that means nothing.
Tiresome. Publish your own dictionary, or go mute.
