You probably don’t need a masters degree to debunk this one.

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.

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.

The Dilbert guy really went off the deep end, didn't he?

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 have a strong feeling Scott Adam's most recent ex-wife cheated on him with a black dude. Not that it's a good excuse or anything.

I mean, he's insanely racist to the core and it feels like he's deeply hurt or something. He can go fuck himself, but he needs help.

Wow, had to check this one was real, and jokes on me it's still up on his Twitter, complete with him stubbornly defending himself against everyone telling him he's nuts. How did the Dilbert guy lose his mind so completely?

LOL, Scott Adams can't cope with reality so he has to make up history to make himself feel better.

The fact that he's rich is the only reason he hasn't been Baker acted.

It's just so sad that they think that antifa is some organization, like "vegetarianism" would be one as well

Like Peterson, Scott Adams was at least interesting to read in 2016, even if you don't agree with him. His analysis on why Trump eventually won was actually a pretty good read.

But it seems that going deep into the conservative echo chamber turns everyone in it completely insane and paranoid, until they are nothing but a parody of their former self.

So I think the main idea of conservatism is ironically being self destructive.

Can someone confirm that this is genuine? I mean, I know he has problems, but this just seems too f'd up to be a real screenshot 😬

“I passed sixth grade social studies and you have lost your fucking mind.”

Always neat to see Tweets of people who are about to be blocked by Scott Adams

This dude is basically just writing historical fanfiction at this point. Add vampires or zombies and maybe he could sell a book.

I love that I have seen comments responding to comments about him being crazy with something like. So everyone you disagree with is crazy. Its not a disagreement when someone says a relatively new, modern age group, was behind a historical group. Im not going to even get into its the opposite of what their group is about. Its like no. People are called crazy for saying crazy shit. Like slavery was beneficial to slaves. Thats not about disagreement its just patently wrong. Its like saying when you murder people it can sometimes be good for their health.

I imagine hes is misquoting the United Front here?

The United Front (Einheitsfront) was the strategy of the German communist party KPD to counter both fascism and social democrats (whom the KPD and the Third International called social fascists ("Sozialfaschisten")). As you can probably guess, this wasn't very successful in uniting the left and center against fascism, so Parties of the Comintern ended up changing strategies to the United Front, a broad coalition of left and center against fascism. This had some limited success (France had a Popular front government of communists/socdems/left leaning liberals for two years that enacted a fairly large amount of very progressive labour laws and banned a number of fascist and monarchist organisations like the Croix de Feu, Spain had a similar Popular front which ended with the military loss in the civil war against Franco)

The SocDems SPD had a similar strategy btw., the iron front, which intended to counter fascism, monarchism, and communism and was opposed to the KPD.

Anyone listen to the Behind the Bastards pod on Adams? It was a two-parter that was awesome. Google it Lemmies.

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.

Alexa, what does the "fa" on "antifa" stands for? and also totally unrelated question, who were the main allies of the Nazis?

The antifa movement was literally birthed as a response to the rise of fascism in Europe.

It's just engagement bait; the consequence of Elon paying influencers. All these guys are just saying sillier and sillier statements to pump up their view counts in an attempt to score some Muskbux. Just roll your eyes and stop using Twitter.

Scott Adams did not lose his fucking mind.

He never had one.

It just took a long time for people to see this.

Holy shit Scott lost the plot.

I'm so disappointed in Adams. That idiot chugged so much Kool-Aid that the cavities have rotted up to into his brain

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.

Dilbert is one of those things from the 1990s that you don't really miss, like Zima.

That organization, that is not really an organization, but rather a specifically American movement, which did not exist in the 30's nor in Germany, probably did not help Hitler come to power.

Wasn’t he also middle management when he was working?

So, Y’know, he was the pointy haired one?
