Bit of a Cassandra, I guess. He trolled Dick long before everyone else noticed he was exceptional. We were all too dazzled by Maddox' supercritical stupidity to see the glow of potential lolcowdom from Dick.
You had to be notably insane to come off as a nutcase in the early days of the show, considering just how dodgy and clumsy Maddox was acting for such a long time. The rise of Clown World didn't help matters either, as loonies like Stefan Molyneux could build audiences by just putting out the impression that they're sane and pro-Trump as so many of us slowly watched people we follow and people we knew get increasingly unhinged.
But we're all just sort of used to it now, so the veil is falling down.
Honestly, I think Dick needs to just take a break from Reddit. Reddit is inherently frustratingly rétarded, with how circlejerky it is and how everyone has to abide by the karma system (that totally doesn't matter, guys!) to not get their posts buried and not feel like they're being shit on. Same sentiment goes for Twitter. Take a break from social media for a while, keep the podcasts going, and just record like 5 episodes in a row with no guests, getting all outside material entirely from your inbox. I think that'd be the best thing to do right now.
