I've been saying this for quite some time now: I fear we have entered Reverse Hanlon territory a few years ago. Never attribute something (misconduct, wrongdoing) to stupidity if it can be appropriately explained by malice, corruption or lousiness.

Principio de #Hanlon para todo.

Con lo de Trump, los aranceles, las bolsas mundiales y una estrategia para enriquecerse... Yo soy más del principio de #Hanlon:
«Nunca atribuyas a la maldad lo que se explica adecuadamente por la estupidez»

TIL beim scrollen der Timeline, dass sowohl Godwin‘s Law als auch Hanlon‘s Razor nicht mehr als allgemeingültig gelten sollten.
Ad eins: Bis auf wissenschaftlichen Diskurs und Nerdgeplänkel _muss_ man heutzutage irgendwann auf Rechtsaußen verweisen und das sollte die Diskussion genau nicht enden lassen.

Ad zwei: besagter Grundsatz ist zwar edel, aber: „janee naja beides!“
Ein schlichtes Gemüt und boshafter Vorsatz gehen inzwischen häufig ununterscheidbar gemeinsam einher.

#Hanlon's Razor is the adage:
"never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity".
A razor is a sharp instrument that makes clear distinctions.
But isn't it often the case that acts and attitudes fall into a stupidity-malice spectrum?
There's the studied obtuseness of those primaily motivated by petty power, facts or objections simply matter less to them ...
Where does Hanlon's razor cut in that case? Not clear whether it even asks the right question.
