On the one hand, I want to believe Scott Adams succumbed to some diagnosable degenerative mental illness or something. I used to enjoy Dilbert comics/media. (Anybody remember the animated series?)
On the other hand, even reading old Dilbert, a bit of me is always like "ok, yeah, in retrospect there's a disturbing undercurrent of xenophobic right-wing BS going on here". Maybe he was always like this at least to some degree before the Qanon brainworm devoured what was left of his connection to reality.
Scott Adams has been screwy from the start. I fully recommend the Behind the Bastards podcast episodes about him for anyone who hasn't heard about him.
