The entire arc of Scott Adams is a cautionary tale.

To go from a brilliant satirist to becoming terminally online and just completely falling off the far right cliffs of insanity is incredibly sad. And unfortunately, this is plight is not uncommon. It is incredibly dangerous to make politics part of your identity and then just absolutely bathe yourself in a political media echo chamber.

Good to know that "Don't speak ill of the dead," is now truly dead. Ironic that an online post trying to push a political point is attempting to frame itself as rising above. There is no middle ground. There is no common decency.

Why shouldn’t you speak ill of the dead?

>>petese+a9
It's mostly because the dead cannot defend themselves. You are attacking someone who you have no fear of reprisal from.

I didn't fear reprisal from Scott Adams when he was alive, either.

And there are plenty of people willing to step in for Scott and defend him, as evidenced by the contents here.

Someone dying doesn't mean the consequences of their words and actions disappear and acting like we should pretend that death washes away those consequences is silly.
