Adams is a garbage human being and we’ve known it since the very start of his blog many years ago.

Ass-bert.

My dad has fallen down all the rabbit holes as a result.

That sucks. I’m sorry.

Or alternatively he’s always been an asshole nut job but just kept it in the closet until he was secure enough to come out. After all he is a trained hypnotist genius.

I think this was the case with Adams. Former Guy made it okay for all those monsters to start saying the quiet parts loud again. He unwound decades of progress we’d made in training people to, if not grow a little, at least keep those shitty beliefs to themselves. The problem is that the beliefs then grow and deepen, once people feel liberated to indulge in them. It’s meme cancer, basically.
