Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

  I didn't though. I asked for what the difference would be. Also keep in mind stupidity has been given a tricycle for the mind in the form of social media, and social media is full of foreign influence campaigns.

    > I asked for what the difference would be. Why? > social media is full of foreign influence campaigns. And local influence campaigns. Which social media campaign gave RFK a brain worm in 2010?

      Sure, and they wouldn't really be effective if they weren't true believers. These people still had to get into those positions of leadership and broad power.

    In this case never ascribe to geopolitical maneurverings as what can be explained by simple (((corporate greed))) and (((political greed)))

  Hanlon's Razor is a pithy saying, not a fundamental law of the universe. There aren't a ton of things that can be explained by malice but cannot possibly be explained by stupidity. This becomes a thought terminating cliche really fast.
