I recently watched a video responding to a video about Supergirl. Idiot needs Supergirl to be bad so he can complain about it; his channel depends on complaining about popular movies. He complains that she shouldn't be able to get drunk because alcohol doesn't affect kryptonians. Someone explains to him directly that she goes to red sun planets so that she can get drunk, that she CAN get drunk on red sun planets, as was clearly explained at the end of Superman (2025), and his immediate response is "yeah but why drink if alcohol has no effect on her?"

Reminds me of bad old days when Ukrainian cops were the worst shit. Like - plant evidence and arrest you worst shit, beat you up in the alley because you look weird shit. You see a cop - you go the opposite side of the street as far as possible because that motherfucker will have a problem with you. And then one day - the government pulled the trigger on the police reform, fired pretty much anyone with any kind of negative rep and replaced them with new recruits and it is almost as if years of fucked up bullshit were all just the bad dream.

See, the big problem in my opinion, is that they didn't convince people that the cops are great. They convinced people that the cops are mostly abusing the people they want to see abused.....

A big problem in that is the obvious and massive societal issue that so many people voted on, and seem to care about, above all else, whether or not the marginalized people they hate are being hurt.

Our copaganda never really had a chance to get going like that because for the longest time it was either produced by russians or for the russians. Because of that it was never associated with the Ukrainian police. Post-2014 and the police reform cop shows do their thing but the focus is about policemen being regular Joes like everyone else and the subjects of government corruption and especially corrupted judicial system and also loose cannon cops doing more damage than good are regular topics even for the most basic shows. Meanwhile the streaming shows either try to pull off a Columbo or Poirot style detective stories instead of regular cop show format.

Hanlon's Razor is an old adage that boils down to: when you think someone is intentionally trying to be evil and ruin something, take a step back and ask whether it's likelier they're trying to be intentionally malicious, or if they're just stupid/incompetent.

For example, you go to a restaurant and tell the waiter that you can't have dairy, so you order a pasta dish without cheese. They bring it out to you, but look, there's cheese. You can assume either that the waiter or the staff in the kitchen absolutely hate you and intentionally gave you cheese just to spite you...or that they just screwed up and forgot. The latter is probably likelier.

I was half-joking about potentially updating this idea to include an additional stipulation about AI bots online, which are good at looking like stupid people but actually are often malicious. Bots are used to sway political opinions. You have cases where they are trying to pass themselves off as real people to drown out legitimate discourse with a simulation of it, and cases like Musk's Grok AI where it's programmed to ignore truth and instead answer questions in ways that further his agenda or inflate his ego.

So sometimes when you see political posts that just defy all logic, or are ignoring a hard truth that is staring them in the face, you're inclined to ask "How can this person sincerely believe what they're saying right now?" And often the answer will be that they don't, because they're not a person, they're a bot just regurgitating propagandic talking points.

I feel like Hanlon's Razor is a disease more than it is useful to anyone in any situation.

So frequently do normal people refuse to acknowledge that others can simply be malicious, that this rule only serves to aid people in giving the benefit of the doubt to people who act in ways to abuse it.

Politicians, shitty bosses, unscrupulous contractors, etc etc. All of these people hurt others by abusing their presumptions of innocence.

It's not perfect, but the basic idea is that assuming malice as default in every scenario will cause one to spiral into paranoia.

It's not saying "people are never malicious and always just stupid" but just asking someone to take a step back from the situation and ask which is likelier in context.
