I did a quick look at Wikipedia - he has racist views, a vaccine denier, and to top it all off, of course, a Holocaust denier...

I tried reading his comics—just some run-of-the-mill jumble for a corporate audience.

So who is he? And why are there so much praise in the comments?

> In a 2006 blog post, Adams asked if official figures of the number of deaths in The Holocaust were based on methodologically sound research

This is probably a result of contracting brainrot by adjacency, but I wouldn't outright call this holocaust denial.

Dilbert is an iconic comic, and perhaps the most culturally impactful "office humor"

Hacker news is full of people who worked in tech in the 90s and vibed with the comic.

And Hacker news has its share of racists, anti-vaxxers and Holocaust deniers for whom Scott Adams became not just a prophet but a soldier on their side of the culture war.
