      I think Hanlons razor is in desperate need of an update, since its premise seems to be based entirely on naivity. These days everything happening on the internet seems more like: “Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice”.

      How can we still be surprised by this? We see republicans routinely making a sport out of who can bomb and take a shit on the helpful parts of society every day.

      There is no bottom.

      I mean, you’re right. No disagreement. This is just what 20% of people do, and a different 40% think that you’re the real asshole if you try to stop them or even just point out it’s bad.

      Never attribute malice to what can be explained by stupidity. It probably is some kids.

        They didn’t attribute it to malice. They said idiot, which is pretty synonymous with stupidity.

      It’s not about being an idiot. You just don’t seem to have the mental capabilities to get the whole picture.
