While it is always the logically parsimonious position to presume stupidity rather than malice, we should never take that to be a proof that there is no malice

And there certainly is malice, and there are certainly malicious agendas. That is proven in abundance as well. The Fed planning to fix inflation by throwing people out of work and eradicating people's personal prosperity is the epitome of malice. The stupid part of that issue is their presentation and apparent belief that such makes for sound economic or monetary policy.

Governments use all crises to extend their power over people. This too is malice, pure and simple.

I don't look for some invisible agency that is orchestrating these things because they simply are not necessary. There's more than enough of the ordinary and mundane malice and stupidity to explain things.
