Mostly actively supportive.

All right. No impact on my banking. No impact on my banking. Do you know why? Because I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything that would affect banking. If I had, apparently they could turn off my banking. Apparently that's a real thing. It didn't happen to Laura Loomer and some other people. So if I'd done actual hate speech and you know it and even in context it looked like that, yeah, I would be banned probably in all those things. But you have to explain to yourself why none of the things except leftist political organs have banned me. Leftist political organs. And that means the newspapers. I think you all figured out that taking me out before the 2024 election was a good Democrat strategy. Those of you who have watched me long enough, do you think I impact the framing of issues? Do you think I've had an actual political impact that makes a difference? So for those of you who don't know me, look at the comments. So the people who know me best on Locals are almost all saying yes. 99 percent it looks like. The people who know me less would be on YouTube. But you can see the yeses. And those who say no, you're the least familiar with what I've done for the last five years. The ones who say yes are the ones who've actually watched me for five years. There's no question whatsoever that I'm influencing things.

Do you want some evidence of that that I'm influencing things? I'll give you some evidence. If I wrote it down. Well you may have seen that Marc Andreessen, one of the founders of the internet, inventor of the browser and famous venture capitalist guy, he wrote a long thread on Twitter in which he said that he was quitting drinking and that he had come to realize that all the studies for years that had been in the newspapers that canceled me, though all of those studies have been bogus. And when he quit drinking he felt much better. And Elon Musk weighed in and he was in favor of maybe occasional moderate drinking with friends. But he said in direct words alcohol is poison. And if you understand that alcohol is poison you can keep it moderate. Now those of you who have been watching me for a while, everybody on Locals knows what I'm talking about. On YouTube, do you know why I gave you that example? How many of you know why I'm giving you this example as an indication of influence? Because I'm primarily the person who's been saying alcohol is poison. It's actually the first chapter of my book that just got canceled. I say it so often. I led with it in my book. Now as some have said I don't know that I invented it because the sugar is poison preceded it and probably somebody already thought to say alcohol is poison. But if you start noticing how many times my frame on things becomes a common frame, because the alcohol is poison thing, I'm not saying it's just an Elon Musk thing. You see it everywhere now. It's a common phrase. And I think I'm probably the biggest pusher of that phrase. There could be others as well but I'm sure I'm the biggest influence on it. Now are there other things that I've influenced? Yeah, a lot of things. A lot of things.

All right. So those who would be concerned about me influencing politics coincidentally are the ones that canceled me completely prior to the biggest political elections that we've had in a long time.

All right. So far no disagreement from anybody who knows the context. No disagreement from any of my friends. Even the people who canceled me, I don't know what they were thinking but I didn't hear any of them disagree with my actual points. They of course are alarmed by my rhetoric as everybody is.

All right. I'm going to get to something useful here in a minute, believe it or not. Yeah, here's something. The Washington Post reported about me. This is an actual quote from The Washington Post: "The cartoonist who created the workplace satire comic strip in 1989 had been entertaining extreme right ideologies and conspiracy theories for several years." Foreign. I'm literally the most famous debunker of conspiracy theories on both the right and the left. Have you ever seen anybody spend more time debunking all the conspiracy theories? In fact the biggest problem I have with the right is that I don't believe their conspiracy theories. Am I right? The biggest problem I have with my own audience, which is mostly right-leaning by far, is that I'm not buying into the things that they have more quickly believed. Now to be fair, most of those conspiracy theories turned out to be true. You know, I don't know what the percentage is but it feels like too many of them turned out to be true. But would you agree that I'm more famous for disagreeing with right-leaning conspiracy theories? Which is more true? More famous for disagreeing with the right or agreeing? Yeah, on Locals they all know. They're all saying yes. Yeah, I'm way more famous for disagreeing with the right.

Now at the same time, so there are two papers that canceled me at about the same time. The Washington Post and the LA Times. Yeah, I'm canceled everywhere but these were two of the quick ones. So at the same time that the Washington Post is reporting that I've been entertaining extreme right ideologies and conspiracy theories, was it the LA Times or I think it was the LA Times reported I'm a Democrat. So those are your two high-quality news organizations. One reported that I'm a right-wing like super right-wing conspiracy person and the other one reported I'm a Democrat at the same time. At the same time they reported that. Now if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about the quality of the news. And I told you before that before getting canceled zero people at newspapers asked me for the proper context. Nobody. Nobody. Now after I've been canceled it got more interesting and people started looking into it and looking at my comments in a broader way. But they all canceled me without doing any journalism. None. No journalism. And the journalism they're doing now, the LA Times was actually in my opinion somewhat supportive by showing the full context and Newsweek said directly I shouldn't be canceled in a opinion piece.

All right. Hotep Jesus tweeted this. He said Twitter users are addicted to being offended. That's pretty much all I'm seeing now. Most of the negative stuff on Twitter about me is people who are clearly just gooners. They are literally just getting off on it. Oh Scott you're so canceled now. I think you're so canceled. I'll stop doing that. I know that's creepy. Yeah, they're just gooning out at their criticism and you could tell that it's not even about me. They don't actually care about me. They care about the process of gooning and getting a little dopamine. So I can't take them too seriously. It's just people who don't know the situation, gooners, and then political enemies of mine who are just waiting for a chance to cancel me. That's all it is. Now there are no reasonable people who know the context who have any problems. Is that an extreme claim? I haven't seen any. I have not seen any reasonable person who knows the context who still has a problem with it. None. It's just a media thing.

So my actual world of being totally canceled, you know, except for the financial part which is enormous, my every day is exactly the same. I go outside and I see people who are not on social media mostly. I went to the park to walk my dog and I know quite a few of the neighbors just from dog walking. Well they all know me basically and I thought oh this is going to be awkward. Nope. Big smiles. Big smiles everywhere. How you doing? How's your dog? Big smiles. So my local experience is that it didn't even happen. That the cancellation never happened. And if you subtract the gooners and crazy people and the political operatives and the grifters, there are no actual complaints from Black people or white once they know the context.

Here's the funniest comment from a ghost of Gettysburg. Now I'm not endorsing this. I just think it's funny. All right. So this is just for the laugh. Scott pointed out that the emperor has no clothes and now all the NPCs are upset. This is usually what happens before a societal epiphany happens. Scott Adams might be a sort of Rosa Parks. To look back on Rosa Parks now. Now I obviously that would be offensive for me to embrace that which makes it funny. It's funny because it's outrageous. But I would ask you this question about Rosa Parks. Looking back in history, was Rosa Parks not good for white and Black people and everybody else? Are you glad that Rosa Parks existed whether you're white or Black or anything else? Because she created a societal change that was positive. Is that correct? Like there's nobody who's anti-Rosa Parks today. Like nobody would want a segregated bus or anything like that. So Rosa Parks is a good example of someone who was very let's say controversial back in those super racist days, more racist than today. But today in the length of time we now come to know that it's a good thing she did that and it's a good thing that we got to a better place. Everybody wins. I like to think that's my case as well. Not Rosa Parks of course but I believe that what I'm doing is pissing off half of the world that's p
