Hanlon's Razor is not a bullshit concept. It's perfectly reasonable in most normal, working, environments. More people are stupid than evil. The cashier at Target didn't forget to scan your apples because she's trying to get you arrested for shoplifting. She's just a stupid 18 year old in a job she doesn't care about.
This doesn't apply to people who say, over and over again, that they need to implement Digital ID, and that Tony Blair has been advocating for for years, and that this is the fifth(?) time or so in the past 10 years that "we must have total control over the internet to protect the children" has been claimed by people who are known child sex traffickers.
The example is intentionally silly to drive the point home. You shouldn't naturally assume that every misdeed is purely malicious. It's relatively easy to rely on the fact that people are stupid, which is why hanlon's razor works by default, but not absent of evidence.

I like to tack on "malicious incompetence" to Hanlon's razor.
When incompetence reaches the point where it is impossible to differentiate between maliciousness and stupidity, treat it as malicious.

It sounds more like a George Costanza thing 😆
You and Geralt have the wrong takes on just about every single subject on here.
You’re not very good Hebs. Or maybe you are.
It's almost like I'm not a jew at all, and you're just a fucking retard that sees jews everywhere if someone disagrees with him.
