Waldo JaquithThe Dilbert guy hasn't exactly kept his white nationalism a secret, but he finally came out and called for the resegregation of the U.S., and in response *hundreds* of newspapers cancelled his garbage comic strip this weekend. He believes that zero newspapers will carry his strip by Monday. I hope he's right. https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2023/02/25/scott-adams-dilbert-canceled/
Carl Malamud@waldoj I cancelled Twitter.
Frank Bennett 🇯🇵@carlmalamud @waldoj Psst Elon: Stomping on people with the culture war thing was only meant to be a diversion while we line our own pockets. Blowing the entire society to smithereens isn't in the plan because that's where the profits come from.
Don Whiteside@waldoj even if you rearrange it to “the media is against racist white people” it doesn’t rise to the level of true
Gregory Hays@waldoj I get that people have stayed on Twitter for all sorts of reasons, but if you're still on there, what exactly would he have to do to make you leave?
Adron 🤘🏻@waldoj Dollars to doughnuts it's exactly what he was aiming for. Being a Cancellation Victim is a better setup for wingnut welfare on the TV circuit.
Overall I avoid trying to see Nth dimensional chess when most of these mouth-breathing bigot clowns couldn't plan an escape from a wet paper bag, but I think he's got enough business acumen to know how to keep the attention rolling.

Stephen Porter@Crell @donw @waldoj it's insane how his journey into the Right has been, in the 1990s, early 00s his strip did brilliant acerbic jokes at corporate stupidity, knocking the unregulated capitalism beloved of the American Republican & British Conservative parties, his books: Dilbert future, Way of the Weasel carried on that, he supported the Democrats. interesting how in 2014 after he was diagnosed with multiple neurological conditions: focal dystonia & spasmodic dysphonia he started acting up.
a fading echo
The Skeptic's Book of Lists@waldoj I had a conversation with my wife a few years ago that went like this:
Her: Can you get me the Dilbert calendar for Christmas?
Me: Let me send you a few links.
Her: Oh my god. What a fucking asshole. I didn't know.
NicholasRThis is where canceling is a good thing
Takaya@waldoj send Dilbert to hell
Peter Butler@waldoj Seems like a PR stunt to get a show on Fox News or something.
Matthew Weier O'Phinney@waldoj He's such garbage. I stopped reading him years ago - his embrace of the far right and racism made everything he touches unpalatable.

@mishellbaker @waldoj Thanks. Just don't read the comments there. Oof.
bazkie bumpercar | unfluencer@Crell @mishellbaker @waldoj my god I was about to say the same. How can people be like that? The stupidity, it hurts
Jeff Zugale - Z Factory@waldoj good, because fuck that guy
Godzilla Died for Your Sins@waldoj couldn't happen to a nicer white fascist. Something something the dildo of consequences never arrives lubed.
Hannah is trying to cope@waldoj Took em all long enough! Glad it's finally happening, though.
Bernie Luckily Does It@waldoj I am shocked that the person who advocated killing your own children if they get addicted to drugs turned out to be a bad person.
eevee 🦊@waldoj honestly i'm shocked that he finally found a line to cross that the papers cared about
Dieu@waldoj fucking cancel culture. What's next, no more exhibitions of Hitler's paintings?
Timmy O'Danaos
one non-non-blonde@waldoj it’s Kanye West all over again. We were sounding the alarm for years on this guy, nice to see it finally caught up with him
Jeff Craig@waldoj It is nice to know where the line is, I guess.
Paul van den Bergen@waldoj only about 2 decades too late, but hey..
Nona #DarkGranny@waldoj womp womp
drl@waldoj
No question his comic strip was brilliant at one point. But he's a racist Moron too. I have no problem if he is canceled 🙂 . Plenty of comic strips from non-nazis.

kira :3@waldoj newspapers in 2023 be like "i can excuse eliminationist transphobia but i draw the line at resegregation"
Curtis Wilde
Debra Nutter@waldoj Me too.
f*cking b*tch club@waldoj So glad cancel culture is finally woke on this dude. God Bless America.

Its Not A Hoax 🤞
Amanda Carson@waldoj Has anyone started the countdown until we get the first thinkpiece about how Scott Adams is a martyr of the cancel culture epidemic? Because you know something like that's coming. Maybe he'll even get an opinion column at the NYT.
Stephen Sherman@waldoj Playing the victim, of course.
Rachel@waldoj the only thing that surprises me is that it didn't happen sooner.
gshevlin@waldoj he seems to be into the Martyrdom Zone.
We will now have to read his whinings about how he was cancelled by the Woke etc.etc.

CodieneC@waldoj He deserves every bit of whatever is going to come flying at him
Joseph@waldoj Here's a non-paywall article 🙂 reuters.com/world/us/dilbert...
PPN@waldoj I am genuinely surprised that all these newspapers are pretending to discover now that Scott Adams is Scott Adams. It is not like he has been openly racist, anti-vaxx and generally a prick all over his Twitter and Youtube rants for years 🤡
@waldoj I didn't realize that the man is sixty-five years old. He's retiring in a way that amuses him, bet you a nickel.
OracleClyde@waldoj I read his comic for years, loved the social satire and punching up to corporate. My heart broke when he came out for Trump and fell down the MAGA hole. Since then he's become a racist turd and I'm happy that the universe has balance once again.
Jürgen Hubert@waldoj So he finally failed to maintain plausible deniability for the newspapers that still ran his strips.
Ultra Violet 
🌹🏴@waldoj alas poor Dilbert we thought we knew him well, but we found the white hood in his tie rack.
Atheist ArtCreative, funny, people bring a smile to my face. Sometimes they are real assholes.
Terry ⛄️@waldoj he canceled himself. 😝
Dr. Emma L Briant🐕🇬🇧in🇦🇺@waldoj oh I’m sure it’ll appear on Breitbart

MetalSnake@waldoj oh wow, I liked the Dilbert comics, didn't know the author is such a pos. :(

Frees him up to become a right wing hero. Perfect for a job in congress or even an executive admin position.
“Future so bright, gotta wear shades.”

Jonathan Horowitz@waldoj This guy's picture is going to next to the definition of "edgelord" in the dictionary.
