He fell into the trap of thinking his success came from being a genius, so when people don't like his crappy opinions he just assumes everyone else is wrong

Yes it is. He went full MAGA early on.

He's basically Milton from Office Space

"I only remember the most ridiculous part of the debate, so whoever said that was the winner."

more like "it isn't true, but it feels like the kind of thing that would be true about the people I don't like"

Fascist reasoning--we "know" immigrants are evil therefore making up shit about them to gin up anti-immigrant sentiment is morally justified--if not required.

He thinks there's some Truthiness.

I feel like it's the ultimate catch all. Absolutely anything is directionally correct. Flat earth? I mean the earth has a shape and there are plenty of flat shapes so it's directionally correct. Bigfoot? Easy. There are plenty of animals with very large feet. Directionally correct. Hatians eating dogs? Hatians eat animals with four legs and there are both hatians and animals with 4 legs in the United States. Directionally correct. Checkmate Kambala!

I thought Trump was making up the stuff about post birth abortions, but then I watched a 78 year old baby get aborted on live TV.

It's on brand for him really. The guy was weird long before we started using Weird as an insult.

No need to. He wasn't always like this. He was always misanthropic but he was more of an equal opportunity misanthrope. The far right bullshit came later.

Feeling this.

I was such a fanboy. Long before I could even work, I was obsessed. I even read God's Debris and as a teen thought it was fire.

I got an office job (call centre) because of Dilbert. I thought everything was so fucking funny because people were talking just like in my favourite comic.

I think I can say without embarrassment that the art style was incredibly cute. Very kawaii. I loved the characters' wide eyes and semicircle mouths like when they're mindlessly bullshitting. :D

I know it's parasocial, but I'm disappointed in myself for how badly I misjudged Scott Adams.

I'm ashamed at being a tech worker who laughed along with others because people expected id like Dilbert as a tech worker, even though Dilbert reminds me of engineers who bring one good idea to a meeting and take all the credit when all the actual work on a project is done by someone else.

And just wasn't that funny to me.

Nothing wrong with enjoying content someone makes in my opinion, you can't know the opinions and ideals of everyone at every time.

Yeah he calls (racism) directionally correct in terms of immigration risk.

Some people are citing the 15,000-20,000 Haitian Immigrant influx to Springfield Ohio (formerly 60,000 total population) as a cause for crimerate increase when the city actually had 146% higher crimerate than the US Average BEFORE the immigration influx and city officials have said there has been NO INCREASE (it might have even gone down but we won't know until the 2024 index is published).

The woman who first shared the pet-eating hoax has apologized and said she was mistaken. Another user who posted a bodycam footage has been debunked as a completely different location and not a Haitan at all but a lifelong resident of Canton.

But they don't care. They think Racism was correct. They don't care about pets or children or crime statistics, they care about Racism.

He lost his mind in the divorce.

I think what he's saying is that "eating dogs" is bad and "unchecked immigration risk" is also bad. Therefore, it's okay to lie about one in order to warn about the other. I see extremists do this all the time. By the same token, it's okay to lie about post-birth abortions, because abortion is bad, and if lying about it helps to prevent abortions, then it's for a good cause.

These assholes use this logic to lie about all kinds of things. They know that they're lying. At least, the smart ones do. They just see it as justified.

Imagine if he shit his pants and passed out. He would immediately be declared president!
