The Dilbert guy really went off the deep end, didn't he?
He went far enough, that there's a Behind the Bastards episode about him.

Is there really 2 hours and 18 minutes worth of content devoted to Scott Adams losing his goddamn mind? I don't know if I have that kind of time to invest in that douche canoe.
I really enjoyed it. But I was also playing rocket league or driving when I listened to it. Behind the bastards is moderately funny so it’s an easy listen.
Having listened to some other Behind the Bastards I'd say it's really an entertainment show that uses their topics as a basis to joke around than a serious biography wherein explaining the subject is the primary goal.
They're usually fun and you'll tend to learn something new but it's not really ever going ot be a serious deep dive.
Sounds a bit like Drunk History! Though I think I'd have to take that one with a bit more salt
I keep hearing about the podcast and it sounds great. Could you recommend any outstanding episodes to check out? My interests are wide so anything is on the table
I've not long listened to it so probably can't make great recommendations of classic episodes but I enjoyed their series of episodes about Vince McMahon titled: "Histories Greatest Bastard!" (partly because it features Seanbaby.) I've really just dipped in an out of a couple of random episodes otherwise.
Wait, I thought that was just a random idiot, are you telling me that's the author of Dilbert?
Yep, he's completely lost it and was dropped by pretty much every newspaper after describing black people as a "hate group" (among other crazy stuff).
I really don't understand successful people attaching their wagon to Conservatives... The entire human history is just a parade of religious Conservatives resisting change, trying to subjugate others and looking like absolute assholes in hindsight.
There is ZERO examples in history of "hey we were going to expand freedoms, but good thing we didn't, thanks to the religious opposition!"....
Conservatives are wrong and have been wrong on every single social issue since the dawn of time.
I'm sure they had their victories when it comes to economic issues, but they haven't had one of those in over half a century either, since the only idea they seem to have is tax cuts.
Actually, economically, conservatives have mostly failed as well.
Hah yeah... It also wasn't until this post that I made that connection. For the past few years I've heard of "the Dilbert Guy going off the deep end" and seen random posts (like this) with this Scott character being an absolute moron
mind blown meme
Along with Chachi, Hercules, and the Wheel of Fortune guy. Conservatism (read: Fox News) will rot your fucking brain.
Be fair to Conservativism, Kevin Sorbo's (Hercules's) brain was already damaged by the time he fell into its warm dark embrace.
What’s this about Wheel of Fortune?
It's almost as if Fox News rots your brain! Or maybe boomers just licked a lot of lead paint as kids...
He certainly did
