I would say in practice this indeed is often true (and thus a reminder for Hanlon's razor);some people I know are not evil but so stupid that their actions actually seem pure evil. Usually (because I know this mostly from work) they stumble head first into something that makes someone else look bad/fail/get fired, but if they were evil and had to plan out that even upfront, they wouldn't have been able to come up with it, at all.
- ganzuul 3y agoMy observation is similar but differs in a substantial way: it seems to actually take a lot of intelligence to accomplish the more shocking kinds of stupidity. Somehow there is an intelligent process but it gets perverted and turned into evil as a reaction rather than an intentional outcome. Somehow these persons have lost control of their own intelligence and have become victims of the same. Lots of the effects seem to be summed up as "ego", but that is far from a coherent explanation. It's fear, pride, impatience... Those words seems to guard the gates of hell.

- whythre 3y agoReplace ‘certain’ with ‘either’ and you are on the right track.
- CaptWillard 3y agoReplace 'party' with 'partisan voters' and you're even closer. The Uniparty is evil, but the folks who still buy into their schtick are mostly ignorant or naive.
