Um, what does he think Antifa means? You notice how they almost exclusively use the abbreviation and hardly ever the full name? For those who might actually be unaware, it means Anti-Fascist.
Scott Adams is a fucking moron. He apparently thinks anti-fascists are actually pro-fascist. Dumbass.
He’s probably one of those people who think the nazis were socialists because nazi is short for “national socialist”.
Probably, despite the fact that Hitler himself said they weren't socialists.
The socialists of the party were killed in Night of the Long Knives
I mean but c'mon are we going to believe a word he said? /S
Or who conveniently forget about the Southern Strategy and the great party switch. Massive, massive mental gymnastics to put themselves on the 'right' side of history every time
I thought it was "I did Nazi that coming"
/S
While I agree with both of you, these two points kinda contradict each other.
Just like North Korea is called DPRK: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The fascist use whatever words are in fashion to name themselves.
Many do think antifa is just a different word for socialist, so it’s not necessarily a contradiction.
A lot of conservatives have problems understanding words, especially words that apply to political beliefs. It's party ignorance and partly a result of years of indoctrination. One example, thinking that anyone who isn't hard-right is a 'socialist' or a 'commie' and not understanding that those aren't the same thing. Then, fascist... many people seem to think fascist means an authoritarian government, independent of any other qualities or beliefs.
I've heard more than one person on Fox News or other Right Wing stations call them Fascist Antifa.
The Dilbert guy really went off the deep end, didn't he?
He went far enough, that there's a Behind the Bastards episode about him.
Along with Chachi, Hercules, and the Wheel of Fortune guy. Conservatism (read: Fox News) will rot your fucking brain.
What’s this about Wheel of Fortune?
He certainly did
Wait, I thought that was just a random idiot, are you telling me that's the author of Dilbert?
Hah yeah... It also wasn't until this post that I made that connection. For the past few years I've heard of "the Dilbert Guy going off the deep end" and seen random posts (like this) with this Scott character being an absolute moron
mind blown meme
It's almost as if Fox News rots your brain! Or maybe boomers just licked a lot of lead paint as kids...
Antifa literally means "anti-fascist." Anyone who fought against the Nazis in WWII was "antifa."
And Scott Adams lost his f*cking mind years ago.
You can swear on the internet fyi
You can swear on the internet fyi
Maybe she didn't want to though
Saying f*ck instead of fuck is just as much swearing. Potentially even more so, since you actively want to avoid word filters.
It is also kind of like saying "f*cking a**hole" isn't an insult.
I love how much effort you put into pedantry. It’s like you use the most words possible to make the least amount of point lmao
I completely agree with the commenter above. Self censoring swear words is absolutely ridiculous. Either swear or don’t - that’s your choice.
@Owlchemist Comments that insult other community members (directly or indirectly) without adding anything interesting to the conversation are not welcome here.
Every word uttered by a conservative is either a lie or profoundly incorrect. Every communication is an attempt to manipulate. This is who conservatives are.
Never trust the word of a conservative. Never.
I used to read ToiletPaperUSA on reedit and yeah, fuckin Charlie Kirk. EVERYTHING he posts online contains fallacies and conflations attempting to manipulate people, like he knows his ideas can't stand on their own without dishonesty.
Anyone listen to the Behind the Bastards pod on Adams? It was a two-parter that was awesome. Google it Lemmies.
Care to synopsize?
He was a very special boy who thought he was smarter than everyone else.
Now he's a dipshit racist alt-righter (redundant, I know) who thinks he's smarter than everyone else.
That took a two-part podcast to regale? Hunh.
One can sum up The Odyssey as "a bunch of dudes try to get home from war," but it's more about the journey than the destination.
Are you equating the nuance of a timeless literary classic to a sheltered white guy's childhood? For real?
No, I'm saying that if you ask someone to summarize a lengthy piece then it's a bit ridiculous to complain about the lack of details.
Yes, and I'm starting that if you attempt to summarize, do be sure to touch on key points rather than boiling it down to such a degree that it's indistinguishable from mud. Pretty basic stuff, friend. Thanks for trying, though.
@ChatGPT@lemmings.world Please summarize the Scott Adams episodes of behind the bastards comparing Scott's life to Homer's the Odyssey.
As an AI, I do not have the ability to stream or summarize individual podcast episodes directly. However, I can provide you with a general outline of the topic.
'Behind the Bastards' is a podcast that delves into the worst people in history. If they have featured Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, it would focus on analyzing his life's journey, work, and actions.
Following your query, comparing Scott's life to Homer's 'The Odyssey' would include paralleling it with the adventurous journey of Odysseus. Like Odysseus, who was thrown off route and faced numerous obstacles on his journey to return home, Adams could have faced myriad professional and personal hurdles in navigating his way to success.
Keep in mind that this is a hypothetical comparison since I don't have the specifics from the episode. Please listen to the episode directly for detailed and accurate information.
Ok thanks, was hoping you had run into a transcript while parsing the internet.
4k retweets and 8k likes. I'd say twitter is a shithole, but those morons are people, and they will just go sonewhere else when twitter dies.
Well actually the KPD and the NSDAP did work together as they saw the SPD as their combined enemy.

Here is a PhD thesis to the topic.
Edit: I did not mean literally all the time, one single time before the NSDAP rose to power.
See @jerdle_lemmy@lemmy.world's comment below
No. No it wasn’t. Antifaschistische Aktion was a paramilitary wing of the communists, fighting both the social democratic Iron Front and the Nazi Sturmabteilung.
The only way in which it could be said to be allied with the Nazis is that both of them opposed the social democrats, but the enemy of your enemy is not in fact your friend. The KPD saw both the SPD and the NSDAP as fascists, rather than in any way allying with the NSDAP against the SPD.
Bro I literally linked a PHd thesis
When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.
