He’s not really an anti-capitalist though. Dilbert was always about mocking the stupidity of PMC office bureaucratics. Plenty of people in the 80s and 90s hated BS office job politics who were, none the less, conservative or otherwise right wing. They just thought capitalism was supposed to be burly dudes cutting down trees and shit.
Thing is I suspect these types of people wouldn’t be anti-capitalist even if they did. A lot of people who made “lol office jerbz suc” media were chuds. Cuz yeah office jobs suck, but you’re also getting paid a middle class income to sit inside an air conditioned building. It wasn’t till after the financial crash pushed a lot of people into the service industry that everyone realized that as boring as they were a lot of those jobs were pretty Cush.
