Tornado of incompetence

An overly-confident, yet completely unqualified, leader who unwittingly leaves a wide path of destruction in their wake.

We we're almost finished with our project, until the Tornado of Incompetence - TOI - showed up! Now, I've gotta work all weekend!

bethesda-grade incompetence

Making something that could be good but ends up being terrible, but people enjoy it anyway; ignoring hundreds and hundreds of helpful suggestions; generally being a giant assclown that is clearly only worried about selling the bridge that you are currently burning while standing on.

The world fades from black. You sit in a wooden cart, surrounded by bandits. One of the bandits has terribly broken textures, and two others are incorrectly labelled as housecats. You shout out to God almighty "I think there's a mistake here!!" Suddenly, a feral pig jumps out of a bush and explodes, killing you. This is some Bethesda-grade incompetence.

Passive-Aggressive Strategic Incompetence

A deliberate and calculated behavior exhibited by an organization or its members, particularly law enforcement agencies, where they feign misunderstanding or lack of capability to fulfill a legal or formal request for information. This tactic is employed as a means of evasion to avoid accountability, transparency, or the disclosure of information that could implicate the organization in illegal activities or misconduct. It is characterized by an outward appearance of cooperation or innocence, masking an intentional effort to obstruct justice or the rightful access to information. This behavior is passive-aggressive in nature because it avoids direct confrontation or refusal while actively working against the requester's aims to uncover truth or obtain justice.

This definition encapsulates the manipulative and obstructive nature of the behavior, emphasizing its purpose as a strategy to evade legal and moral responsibilities.

The police department's refusal to provide the requested documents, coupled with their pretense of not understanding the clear terms of the FOIA request, is a classic case of passive-aggressive strategic incompetence designed to shield themselves from scrutiny.

Qualified Incompetence

A pseudo-legal shield granted to self-declared constitutional experts who have no formal education, no courtroom wins, and no idea what habeas corpus means—but do have a ring light, a YouTube channel, and a deep commitment to shouting at traffic stops.

Qualified Incompetence protects the following behaviors:
• Quoting the Constitution out of context while live-streaming from a car
• Filing lawsuits with the same strategic finesse as a toddler launching spaghetti
• Declaring oneself a “law scholar” despite being defeated in court more times than a parking ticket
• Misinterpreting the First Amendment so badly it violates the Eighth
