Adams had reportedly been receiving end-of-life care for the past week, just over six months after he announced his prostate cancer had spread to his bones

    RIP. Regardless of his political views, he was a man and he created things. My condolences to his family.

      It wasn’t just “political views” - his stances weren’t merely ones of policy, and he repeatedly made statements that made clear he thought that anyone who wasn’t a white male was a lesser human. He spread racism and misogyny with nearly every breath. He deserves no rest and no peace.

      Nah he was a piece of shit, bye. I hope his family reads this, too. It’s good to know what people think of you. Maybe they’ll make better choices.

      Enough of this soft hand bullshit, fascist racists deserve to die.

      I’ll never forget when Scott Adams told “white people to get the hell away from black people”. Condolences to the worms that eat his face.

      When a piece of shit finally shrugs of this mortal coil and we no longer need to confront their hate, that’s a good thing. Rest in Piss Dilbert guy

      That’s not a good criteria, there’s alot of terrible people you’d be saying rip to. For instance, guess who painted this:

        Didn’t he end the reign of one of the worst dictators to ever live (at the cost of his own life)?
