    It helps to realize while reading anything from Scott Adams, he tweets this shit while sitting on a toliet shaped like Dogbert.

    This screenshotted post is bullshit. But arguably, everyone is talking about Trump and the animals now. While that was of course all made up, they got the media to focus on their talking points.

    Mango Mussolini’s fucked up playbook originates from the 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s Fascists and Bolsheviks.

    “Directionally correct,” the fuck does that mean? “Yes, it is an absolute lie. But actually they are all inherently like that.” This is a guy who wants pogroms.

    What a fucking clown. Nobody gives as fuck about what you think, Scott Adams. Dilbert always sucked ass.

    Had to chuckle at “My first impression was a tie, which I called a Harris victory” they just cannot accept loss. Even when Trump objectively loses, it’s “a tie” he just considers it a Harris victory because he’s such a clever political operator (lol).

    Sure thing, bud. I think all that copium has fucked up your brain even more.

    The only thing I remember about this windbag is that he used to make a mildly entertaining comic strip about modern work culture, and then he took a blow to the head or something and sadly became incoherent.

      Dilbert always sucked. I feel like it’s like 90s Big Bang Theory in comic form. “Look, I’m a nerd just like you guys!”

        i watched the dilbert animated show and it was hilarious. he only wrote two episodes of it though.

        also i don’t think it was about being a nerd. it was about being a normal dude in a corporate world where everyone seems incompetent, dumb or crazy. it’s basically the office.

          It was supposed to be written for nerds, like Big Bang Theory. The Office was not.

          Maybe you forget the specific type of humor present in Dilbert comics? But most layman would not get 90% of the “jokes”.

            eh, he had a technical profession but i didn’t think the humor relied on anything too obscure. i might be misremembering; it’s definitely possible.

              The character is a nerd, but the humor is not simply “have you tried turning it off and on again.” The jokes are generally not about anything technical but about micromanagement by a dumb boss, hierarchy and HR disasters, and terrible office relations with self-centered asses. It should be relatable by anyone slightly technical with diploma who works in an office, and that should be a lot of people not in manual labor in the 90s. Like, if you use Excel or PowerPoint, you’re in the target for that humor.

        I thought Dilbert had its moments.

        I couldn’t get through a single episode of Big Bang Theory, so I don’t really know much about it.

            I can’t speak for others, but I felt like it was trying too hard. That, and “nerd” culture has been mainstream since at least the release of the Lord of the Rings movies. To act like they’re all some kind of outcasts because of their interests in previously outre things like Dungeons and Dragons or particle physics was just disingenuous.

      It means he is a racist, he agrees with Repub leadership that Hatian people are inherently evil, and he wants to do mass deportations which will turn into progroms.

      "Directionally " does the same job as the “alternative” in alternative medicine (or alternative facts) - it just means “not”.

      Even a good number of MAGAts can spot this lie - but when the pronouns of the rest are Trump/Nazi-sympathiser, why would you expect them to care?

      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.

        Yeah it’s a form of (for lack of a better term) virtue signalling within extremist groups. “I’m so dedicated to the cause I’m willing to lie to further it!”

        He’s implying immigrants commit crimes, even if they didn’t commit this specific crime, so it’s OK to make up a batshit scenario that never happened because other things do happen.

        Of course, every fucking statistic out there proves that immigrants, per capita, commit less crimes than citizens. Which makes sense - why the fuck would you spend all that time and money getting here, just to commit a crime and immediately be kicked out? Are there a small percentage of immigrants involved in narcotics and gangs? Sure. Are there citizens involved in narcotics and gangs? Yes. A lot more.

          Yeah and undocumented immigrants commit crimes at a way lower rate than citizens and legal immigrants. Like half. Because if they get arrested for anything they’re probably getting deported. Pretty big incentive to stay out of trouble.

        I think it’s even simpler. We always way overestimate these guys.

        Their agenda, their direction: white nationalist ethnostate, mass deportation/genocide.

        Anything that helps create division and tension between races and ethnicities is towards this goal. They want full-on race riots and angry backlash, escalating and escalating. Anything the clown says that makes anyone angry is part of that direction. We all need to remember that as long as we’re giving open racism airtime and saying inflammatory nonsense they are moving towards their direction.

        In my youth, I had always worried about the people who would use our freedom against us, but I was always reassured that the people would see through all but the cleverest and most beguiling of sinister bad-actors. I guess it was a different time and people had grown accustomed to the nationalized broadcasting stations. It would have been unimaginable that an overt cartoon caricature of a criminal politician, with a gaggle of criminal henchmen spouting open racism and hate would become the figureheads and seeds of our eventual doom, but memories are short and attention spans have been whittled to nothing.

    I don’t care if someone thinks Trump won two debates as long as Harris win the electoral college.
