Imagine someone who is completely dead on in the accuracy of his predictions. Would you not want to analyze why this person is correct and listen very carefully to any future predictions he makes? Of course. That is what Jake Tapper of CNN has done but if you are Amanda Marcotte of Salon, being accurate is completely besides the point. What matters is that the winning predictions were made about Donald Trump. And who is guilty of the thought crime of politically uncomfortable prognostications in the eyes of Marcotte? Dilbert creator Scott Adams whom she labels as a fascist in the very title of her highly laughable article: Dilbert has gone fascist: The strange unrequited love Scott Adams seems to have for Donald Trump. Tossing aside any interest as to why Adams has been so amazingly correct in his analysis of why Trump is winning, Marcotte accuses Adams of dangerous thought crimes:

While it goes without saying that Amanda Marcotte understands ‘fascism’ pretty darn well because in reality she is an exemplary ‘fascist’ herself, she appears to be mistaken in her assessment of Scott Adams.

Which is probably why she believes in AGW.

Beyond that, see the F.A. Hayek quote on Nazis/Fascists vs. Communists from The Road to Serfdom on my FR profile page. It’s the third one down, two paragraphs.

I lived the Dilbert life.

It’s the only strip I follow anymore.

No, not in the strips, they were in various articles or published articles over the years, and the things I read were quite virulent. I was shocked. I didn’t know the guy was like that.

I don’t know the guy, but in reading those things, it wasn’t someone I viewed as an ally in anything.

You must have never worked in a cubicle farm or in technology. His stuff is scary (and hilariously) accurate. I’ve been reading Dilbert for something like 15 years or more.

If you consider major corporations as an alternate universe, they start to make sense......
