Takes me back to the days when Dilbert went right wing and was still open. You went there to laugh with the right wing comments. The comic hadn’t been funny for as long time by then. I guess they didn’t like that and Scott put everything behind a paywall.
As the classic comic, no. The writer went Trump really hard during covid. Eventually newspapers dropped the comic after it started to go right wing and the author said some questionable things. It went members only after that but that too seems to have died.
That’s a bit of an understatement. He said the holocaust was exaggerated, urged white people to “get the hell away from black people”, said black people are hate group, etc…
i watched the short lived dilbert series back in the day and it was hilarious. it also didn’t feel right wing but then again maybe I wasn’t super aware of the tells back then. i also never read the comic strips so maybe the tv show just had good writers.
but even at its face you’d think the author of a comic where the entire premise is that complete idiots who just happen to have money for whatever reason and add nothing of value can make even more by exploiting people with the actual skills, making the entire work dynamic a farce and the hierarchy a joke… you know… would be more left leaning.
but that’s why you never should ally with people who agree on problems alone but must agree on solutions as well: I’m sure this dickhead thinks work life is shit because of DEI or jews or something.
I read a book he wrote when I was a teenager and thought it was pretty good although there was some weird stuff in there about like manifesting events into reality with your mind or something like that but yeah that doesn’t seem consistent with the type of person he has become. He had some kind of stroke or something before he started getting crazy with the right wing stuff which some people say could have contributed to it. He also seems like one of those “I’m smarter than everyone” contrarian types so he could also just be an asshole that bought into MAGA.
