#1 They can't stand being ridiculed. Satire is effective and makes people laugh at them. They know well laughter is the most corrosive to their horrid ideology. That's why they're so into censorship.

#2 ...A lot of papers have been looking for a reason to 86 Dilbert for a while now. Looks like they found it.

#5 he was somewhat pro-trump in 2016 (at least he didn't hate Trump and sought to explain things). I'm amazed they didn't try to cancel Adams back then.

#7 They can't stand being ridiculed.

Asimov, among others noticing, said as much in one of his books. I'll see if I can't find the quote sometime soon.

#8 Inability to stand criticism, lack of a sense of humor. Those are signs of insecurity.

Could it be they don't really believe their own bullscrit when it is questioned?
