I utterly loathe Hanlon’s razor. It’s peak naivete, especially when it’s applied to groups of people that have ulterior motives - like business interests. It essentially gives companies a carte blanche to do evil shit, and when they get caught, all they have to do is blush and say “oops, how could that have possibly happened???!” But in reality, they were just doing some sort of self-serving behavior and hoping they could get away with it. And of course, they’ll just end up doing it again a few months or years later on when the attention has died away.
Moral of the story: Hanlon’s razor does not apply to corporations or other business interests. If it’s your neighbors, well maybe give them the benefit of the doubt. If it’s a multinational conglomerate, hell no, fuck that. Assume guilt 100% of the time.
I think you’re underestimating the heavy lifting being done by “adequately”. Does stupidity adequately explain a corporation doing evil shit that made them a bunch of money? Absolutely not.
corollaries to Hanlon’s razor include:
This is a better way of saying what I tried to say in my own comment
Ah, yes. The Nolnah’s Razor.
If they were that stupid eventually something would go right for us and against billionaires and yet it never does. If someone really believes they’re all stupid but all their mistakes happen to benefit the exact same group of people who pay them, then idk what to tell them.
If there is a pattern of malice, it is stupidity to attribute it to stupidity.
Not sure what you are saying. With the order of the meme reversed it doesn’t make it obvious which point is supposed the clearer point of view…

It isn’t reversed compared to how this meme format is usually used: the glasses-on image is on the bottom, and associated with the viewpoint OP is saying is correct/better.
If one hasn’t seen (or has forgotten) the film, this is the way that makes sense, since glasses (generally) improve the wearer’s vision.
This meme’s canonical format is however in fact at odds with the actual scene in the 2002 film:
A related meme form which doesn’t have this ambiguity is the much older they live sunglasses - here the position of the two images are used less consistently (though as with peter parker, usually glasses-on is the lower one) but the glasses being on showing the truth actually fits with how it is in the film.
Use the first version with personal relationships. Dont let paranoia ruin your social circle.
With politics, assume the worst.
Please lord forgive them not, for they know what they are doing
The more social status some has the more it becomes the second one in my mind
or smth else nut there is some distinct differenece in my mind
No no, it can stay stupidity. But hammer home that its not an improvement
