Local newspapers are dying, one of the few reasons the print editions still exist is for the comics section. Cancelling cartoons because of a podcast is commercial suicide, and so is amplifying idiotic stories about Scott Adams, FourChan, Q, 'the alt-right' (AKA the 'far right' presumably), 'Black Lives Matter' etc etc.
There is terrible black on asian violence in the bay area (where I live), I just saw video of a guy being hacked to death with a machete in San Francisco's tenderloin last month. Adams lives near Oakland, an extremely violent, gang dominated area. In the bay area you can watch fresh video on Twitter every day of black thugs breaking into cars, beating people up, retail theft at a massive scale, holding up restaurants at gunpoint and on and on.
This is all completely unacceptable and it's hard to reconcile the endless bleeding heart restorative justice, reparations for people with ancestors who were slaves, endless victim hustling in the same urban area. I suspect Adams was to a large extent influenced by 'lived experience', to co opt a progressive cliche.
I'd expect an aging author to become wiser and more understanding, Adams was getting more and more radical and the segregationist comments were just the straw that broke the camels back.
Local California newspapers are already full of junk establishment syndicated news stories and woke oped pieces written by junior journalism graduates who have strong radical progressive activist views and agendas. Reader comments (if allowed) tell a story of dissatisfaction in these publications. There is less and less reason to buy them.
I think Dilbert is a terrific cartoon strip that punctures the pretense of large corporation human resources hubris. I don't care what the author of this cartoon strips views are. I'm not interested in what Charles Schultz (Peanuts) political views were either.
Recent strips are all about "woke millenials don't want to work" and other right wing facebook tropes.
20 years ago Dilbert strips were sometimes funny, the recent ones just aren't anymore.
Why are people trying to make this guy sound clever and self aware? He sounds unhinged
