    I’d say never rule out just stupid. Even when you try and make something idiot proof, nature just invents a better idiot. Conspiracies are hard to hold together as people are leaky. I find easier to believe in mass stupidity than mass conspiracies.

      I believe in mass stupidity, but also specific evil. People like Netanyahu don’t need to plan everything out, they just react very consistently to opportunities to be cruel, which incidentally creates more opportunities to react.
