Don't attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by ignorance.
- quantummagic 1y agoThat seems like a cliché happily championed by the malicious.
- bell-cot 1y agoVs. conspiracy theorists are happy to imagine an evil genius black op behind every village idiot?

- bell-cot 1y agoWhat fraction of conspiracy theories have proven correct, at a Snowden-ish level? My sense is that conspiracy theorists are essentially a cron job crying "Wolf!" every 60 seconds. The occasional real-world wolf does not justify paying any attention to the alarms. OTOH, it's a false dichotomy to believe that the false alarms prove the non-existence of wolves.

- mywittyname 1y agoIf the past decade of my life has taught me anything, it's "attribute all malicious actions to malice." It's usually just a matter of direct vs. indirect malice. Meaning, are they directly benefiting from their malicious actions or are they just assholes who "do it for the lulz".
