I've been having my doubts about Scott Adams sincerity for a while

Today he's released his latest video https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1336687201866772481

In this video (which was streamed live was after the SCOTUS rejection of the Kelly vs PA case) he argues that "of course the SCOTUS has denied" because "they are obviously not going to risk the stability of the country", as a confirmation of what he's been telling for a long time now.

My belief is that he's perfectly aware of the (plausible) interpretation that SCOTUS only denied this case, as we all think, because the TEXAS case in broader and makes Kelly's case redundant.

But.... he didn't even mention that. Not a single word of alllusion.

Which makes me think that either

  • he is stupid (not the case)
  • or he is uninformed (not the case)
  • or he is a deliberate doomer

The third option is now more likely than ever. He's sort-of adopting our ideas and values, to some extent, but when it comes to the real fight, he just demoralizes us into thinking it's over and lost.

That, would also be consistent with his bizarre stance of being pro-Trump while at the same time being agressively pro-LGBTQI+ (his own word), pretending not to see what's wrong with this weird combination. Also he dismisses any conversation about the Great Reset, all that sort of things.

He has some really good things to say, therefore in my mind he's still worth listening to, but I think we need to be questioning his motives seriously.

He's a doomer. He recognizes that it was a stolen election, but doesn't believe the power structure cares.

Who the fuck listens to an hour of a cartoonist rambling everyday? Get better heroes, people.
