    I hate this phrase.

    A lot of the time, people (and especially monopolistic, tax-dodging, $3.2 trillion multinationals with a long history of anti-competitive behaviour) really are just cunts.

    Time and time again, we see big companies doing anything they can to destroy competition, mislead customers, etc.

    Never attribute to stupidity what can be adequately explained by malice.

      stupidity is a once-off

      malice is a pattern

      and even if it’s not malicious, a pattern of stupid action needs to be stopped just as much as malicious action
