Each time I see it I’m never 100% on board

Duped = it’s intentional?

“Never attribute to malice […]”

Yes, it is intentional. And the "never attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence" trope is clearly wrong in the context of politicians.

When they do these things they know what they are doing and who they are doing it for. Imagine an engineer would have designed 10 generations of exploding phones. Would you say it is just incompetence after the third one? So why give politicians the slack to always be "incompetent" in the same way over and over again that just so happens to defend the interests of the oligarchy against the normal people?
