> Weird to read this assertion in a thread about Scott Adams, who literally had his whole career ended. That's literally the opposite of what you said.

Nah, he continued to grift off the right wing while saying more and more unhinged shit until he shuffled off this mortal coil.

> Also let's remember that he was cancelled for saying that if black people (poll respondents) say "it's not okay to be white" that's espousing hate and he wants nothing to do with them.

Could it perhaps have anything to do with the fact that that's a 4chan-originated dogwhistle that was hyper-viral at the time? Why do you think they were asking about it in the first place? It was in the context of the fact that the ADL had identified it as secret hate speech, in the same line of the 14 words.

> If white people said "it's not okay to be black," that's certainly white supremacy. But the rules are different.

The president of the most powerful country on earth and the richest man in the world say things like that all the time. Why the victim complex?

  • > Someone who makes their living from their art adjusts it to the preferences of the remaining customer base.

    If that means "making racist art", then I think that says a lot of validating things about why most of his original customer base abandoned him.

    > the fact that the woke crowd objects to that while being fine with essentially the same statement levied against whites.

    This reads like the classic "things right-wingers believe about leftists that have nothing to do with what leftists actually believe".

  • The credibility of the claim is literally besides the point. It's about the information that was conveyed to contextualize the question in the survey! Does anyone have media literacy anymore?

    • They do. They understand you cited ADL in lieu of an argument. If it could stand on its own you wouldn't need the citation and guilt-by-association. They understand the culmination of all the surrounding context reduces to a schmittian friend-enemy distinction where you are placing yourself as enemy. Everything else is sophistry.
