Scott Adams is a completely baffling human being to me. He sets up an acknowledged straw man about who is responsible for gun violence. Then uses that straw man to illustrate the mechanism behind a psychological divide between democrats and republicans that he presumes to be real, all of which is done in service of constructing an argument that boils down to saying "neither side is going to budge on this issue because they have different perspectives". Extra points for the martyr complex in his footnotes.
- Kurimo 10y agoAlso bonus points for remarking on his own wealth. Scott Adams seems like the perfect running mate for Trump. Precisely as arrogant, self-involved, and completely unperturbed by a lack of facts to back up his wild conclusions. Not to mention he's perfectly comfortable playing his own fan just like Trump does: http://comicsalliance.com/scott-adams-plannedchaos-sockpuppet/ http://comicsalliance.com/scott-adams-plannedchaos-sockpuppe... What a damn idiot. I wonder how many of the upvoters and positive commenters on this thread will be Scott Adams himself since he's well known for perpetrating that kind of shit.
- specialist 10y agoWhether as Jester or Joker, Adams likes to stir the pot, for profit. He is Dogbert. We forgive his cynicism when applied to the modern corporate office. Because that's punching up and resonates with other victims. When applied to current events, science, or politics -- especially when he's punching down -- not so much.
- Kurimo 10y agoHe certainly fancies himself as Dogbert. In reality, he's more like the pointy haired boss.
