    Dilbert is actually funny sometimes - but people who read it get the liberal perpetual-smirking brainworms. Now that I'm a bit older I see that it's really a disempowering comic, as it points out problems but offers no real thoughts about potential solutions or analysis of why the workplace is set up as it is, so maybe I shouldn't be so surprised that Scott Adams is a giant programmer-type megachud liberal.

      as it points out problems but offers no real thoughts about potential solutions or analysis of why the workplace is set up as it is,

      Reminds me of when Michael Brooks said the difference between the left and the right is that the left see the historical and material reasons for why things are happening and the right say it is what it is.

      It doesn't have to be a bookclub, we could tell them about a super secret antifa-BLM meeting that is gonna happen two states away on an abandoned factory for some reason.

    No thank you officer. We don't believe in political violence. We believe in petitions and voting for effective change.

      I watched it by parts long time ago but I guess that's the good part cuz you're manlier that way. Reminds me of the "hooligans" movie with the Frodo guy.

        Adams’s house is a shrine to the cartoon character that made him rich. One section, visible from the pool area outside, clearly resembles Dilbert’s head, with two oval windows for eyes, connected by a thin line that suggests spectacles. “They look out from the cat’s bathroom upstairs,” Adams told me. The structure is full of indulgent quirks. In the kitchen, Adams installed three microwaves so he “can make a lot of popcorn at once.” Nearby, he transformed a bar area (Adams doesn’t drink) into a display case for Dilbert books and paraphernalia. Other features include a 10-seat movie theater, a gym, and a room filled with beauty salon equipment, where his ex-wife (now Adams’s personal assistant) used to host spa days for friends. Off to the back is an indoor tennis court.

          Ok lets break it down:

          • His house is an ego masturbatory

          • He does have three microwaves

          • He cooks popcorn in the microwave

          • His ex wife is now his assistant WTF?

          • He's a Trump supporter despite spending his life pointing out shit that happens in this world. I thought the comic was fine enough for the guy to be a lib at least.

      Exactly, but let's just beat them and leave them naked.
