  • Scott Adams has passed away (author of Dilbert comic strips)

  • Directly copied from the 'Political Views' tab on Wikipedia:

    Adams often commented on political and social matters, although he said in 2016, "I don't vote and I am not a member of a political party."[86] As of 2008, Adams identified his views on social issues as "[leaning] libertarian, minus the crazy stuff".[87] After endorsing Mitt Romney for the 2012 presidential election,[88] Adams endorsed Donald Trump in the following election. During that election, he wrote extensively on Trump, praising his persuasion skills[89][90] and later described his support for Trump as a factor in ending his public speaking career, as well as negatively impacting his income and friendships.[91][92] He also spoke against Trump's opponent Hillary Clinton, expressing concerns that Clinton's candidacy would lower the status of men in America.[93][94] In 2017, Adams described his views as supporting left-wing policies he perceived as realistic.[95]

    Adams made various predictions about politics. Early in the 2016 election, Adams predicted Trump would win based on his analysis of how persuasive the candidates were. As Trump gained momentum, Adams's election analysis gained media and popular attention.[21] Later (incorrect) predictions repeatedly featured in Politico magazine's annual lists of "Worst Predictions", including that one of Trump, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden would die from COVID-19 by the end of 2020,[96] that "Republicans will be hunted" if Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election[97] and that the 2024 presidential election would result in a "landslide" of claims the election was rigged and the results ultimately overturned in Trump's favor by the Supreme Court.[98]

    After a 2022 mass shooting, Adams opined that society leaves parents of troubled teenage boys with only two options: to either watch people die or murder their own son. He said his comments were inspired by his own stepson, who became addicted to drugs at the age of 14 and later died of a fentanyl overdose.[99][100] Adams was anti-masking and anti-COVID-19 vaccines,[101] and he believed that people unvaccinated against COVID-19 "came out the best" compared to vaccinated people.[102]

    In a 2006 blog post, Adams asked if official figures of the number of deaths in The Holocaust were based on methodologically sound research.[103][35] In 2023, Adams suggested the 2017 Unite the Right rally was "an American intel op against Trump".[104] In 2020, Adams said that the Dilbert TV show was cancelled because he was white and UPN had decided to focus on an African-American audience, and that he had been discriminated against.[105] In a series of comic strips in September 2022, Dilbert parodied environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) strategies. Part of the plotline involved a black character who "identif[ied] as white" and the company management asking him if he could also identify as gay.[106]

  • I don't remember who said it, but somebody once said being a successful communist requires you to be the most organized disciplined person at the shop. There's a lot of truth in that, and I think that's what Brace is getting at here when he talks about 'getting your house in order'.

    Let's face it the western left is a joke and is deeply unserious mostly. If we want to get serious on organization we will need to go to every day people (even the 99% that don't agree with everything we believe). That means 'being normal' as he said, or rather don't be the most aggressive off putting weirdo in the room. Be relatable to everyday people. Organize and work with others to DEMONSTRATE how leftist organization can benifit them. Do the grunt work, even when it isn't glamorous, it's boring, and difficult.

    If you're serious about social movements then you will have to be social. 'Touch grass' as they say. That's just the bottom line if we want to get anywhere. No serious leftist should have a problem with this.

  • I am not happy making music anymore

    Jump

  • Sounds like you are burned out. An indefinite hiatus might be necessary. Music, like any art, requires your soul to be in it to truly create something great. If your hearts not in it you can't force it to be. Just lay it all on the table and have a heart to heart with these people by expressing the feelings you mentioned in the post. If they care for your well being then they will come to accept it.

    Sorry for your situation Corgi its never easy losing passion for something you love.
