Dilbert creator Scott Adams is the latest to be canceled
By Rajan Laad

We know that the left is always looking for an opportunity to silence those who challenge their groupthink. Their target isn’t only conservatives but anybody who disagrees with their worldview even in the slightest possible way.

They left lives in the hope that contrarians to their groupthink will either misspeak or express a nuanced and detailed idea that can be extracted, stripped of context, and made to appear bigoted. This gives them reason to mount a social media campaign and initiate cancellation.

Yesterday it was satirist and thinker Scott Adams's turn to be cancelled.

USAToday announced that it would stop publishing Adams's "Dilbert" cartoon because they ‘lead with inclusion and strive to maintain a respectful and equitable environment for the diverse communities we serve nationwide.’

Cleveland’s Plain Dealer newspaper also decided not to publish any of Adam’s cartoons.

Wow.. from somebody of this level of fame? That took some bravery to speak that level of truth. And to say the things millions have been thinking but have kept to themselves in the spirit of polical correctness.

Adam's stuff is legendary in lampooning office fodder, way before Gervais, or Mike Judge gave us "The Office" or "Office Space".
Seems the Cancel Culture Police and MSM goons will now be the curly haired idiot boss now. And they are going to throw him in the fire like pig with an apple with its mouth.

I hope he can get a gig at Fox, but this might be even a little too hot for them to touch.

I'm not returning hate. I'm advising people to avoid hate. That being my entire point.

A lot of people are angry at me today but I haven't yet heard anyone disagree. I make two main points:

1. Treat everyone as an individual (no discrimination).

2. Avoid any group that doesn't respect you.

Does anyone think that is bad advice?

USA Today is still around? I thought the only ones that bought it were hotels/motels and fast food restaurants for their guests.

Give Dogbert a TV job. Or a Dogbert/Catbert duo.

Anecdotal, at best. but I'm not finding reactions to this from the center-right ...

Adams said out loud what I would guess millions of white people do as a matter of habit….avoid being around black people, or at least avoid being around large groups.
Everybody knows how dangerous it can be for white people to be isolated in a black section of a city.
The reverse is not true for black people in mostly white areas.
But the media would lead people to think that it is blacks who are in the most danger. From white people.
Blacks are in danger, but it’s danger from other blacks as conclusively proved by the daily homicide reports from many major cities.

So far it seems he's held his ground and refuted the rabid woke mob and their flamethrower of hate.

Good for him!

He has repeated a truth evident in daily news exports, police arrest statistics, crime stats, and surveillance cameras across the country. It wasn't "White Lives Matter" that burned and looted.

While there are a multitude of notable exceptions (including my favorite SCOTUS justice), there are also the huge number of thuglife folks in the news daily. It is a cultural problem, exacerbated by the whole 'gangsta/victim' lifestyle, and the attitude that people today are owed anything but an opportunity to do well, not the results of having done so for nothing.

Hopefully subscribers of those papers cancel their subscriptions in response.

He may have a business opportunity. Have a pay-for site to view his content, with 50% off the first year with confirmed proof of a cancelled newspaper subscription, print or online.

Catfish observes:

I will take a guess that Mr. Adams has worked his way through "Fishrrman's dialectic" to arrive at the proper conclusion...
"You may not be interested in the politics of race, ethnicity, and identity.
But the politics of race, ethnicity and identity are VERY MUCH interested ... in YOU."

It’s definitely a matter of a sick culture.

Scott Adams must have known the repercussions that would come from his commentary. I really thought he jumped the shark until I watched this interview.

My publisher for non-Dilbert books has canceled my upcoming book and the entire backlist. Still no disagreement about my point of view. My book agent canceled me too.

@charliekirk11

Newspapers are cancelling Dilbert claiming creator Scott Adams "made racist comments" while discussing 26% of blacks don't think it's OK to be white.

Are we going to ignore the fact 12 million blacks think it's okay to hate white people, or just be outraged someone noticed?
