    Well either they were stupid, or they knew exactly what they were doing.

    I used to think that you should never attribute to malice what’s easily explained by stupidity. And as I’ve grown up, I find a lot of malicious assholes hide behind stupidity.

      Left to myself, I’m just gonna assume both. Malice and stupidity go hand in hand way too often

        Malice was the guys who knew what they were doing and playing the long game, stupidity were the guys who heard their lie and believed it.
