He’s an odd one. My father had a couple of his books (bought right before Dilbert was hitting it’s stride), and IIRC in the forward and elsewhere he made fun of himself, and was a vegetarian liberal.

Wonder if he’s just always been a contrarian, or if the money got to him

He had this thing about persuasion. He was getting really deep into it during the 2016 election. I’m sure this tweet is one of his psychological experiments, designed to elicit certain responses. Hey, it got reposted, didn’t it? People can’t stop themselves from helping him.

I remember that; I also remember him getting ousted on his own comics forum for masquerading as an anonymous defender of himself (using alt accounts to defend himself, basically).

I’m just wondering what the turning point was for him between the early 90’s and 2016, where he went real mask off

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
