Isn’t occams razor the idea that it’s stupidity, not malice?
You explain two types of “malice” - one which is primarily driven by a lack of critical thinking and another which is an intentionally planned attack.
Occams razor would say the former is more likely. You may have well said “fuck occams razor I believe it’s Russian bots”
Occams’s razor is, go with the simplest explanation.
There’s another quippy rule that says a lot of what looks like malice is just incompetence.
Occam’s Razor is that the simplest answer is probably right.
You’re thinking of Hanson’s razor which states:
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Dammit, lol. Autocorrect got me and I didn’t notice.
