Most of us with internet proficiency would argue that this capacity alone raises us above any possibility of being labeled a yokel. But as with most deliberations, it's a matter of perspective.
Ask yourself, or anyone you know this set of questions:
What's your favorite planet?
What's your favorite stellar body?
What's your favorite solar system?
What's your favorite galaxy?
See? You and all the people you know are hopeless yokels. There are more galaxies in the universe than there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy. And how many stars are there in our galaxy? How many planets? And 99% of the people in our world who can understand my questions are going to give the same answers. We are six billion yokels strong, and busy yokeling up the numbers.

I'm a local yokel.
I went to another galaxy once, and everything was like Xanadu. Not the idyllic world spoke of by poets of yore, but the roller disco movie from the late 70s. So I feel fully justified in hating all other galaxies.
