The creator of this comic is a self-described pro-sweatshop neoliberal, which explains the "woe is me, I'm too smart for my own good" delusions.

Sure, because something so egregious would definitely show up in a Google search for "Zach Weinersmith sweatshop", right?

Unless...you're exaggerating on the Internet to stir up outrage?

Yeah the comic reeks of PMC brainworms. I say that as someone with PMC brainworms. “You’re special enough to make decisions, but make sure you cultivate too much self-doubt to make true change.”

I don't think he's ever come out in favor of sweatshops? Maybe you're think of Matt ygelsia from vox.

Do you have a source for that? I cannot find anything about it online in Google, Wiki or even in ChatGPT delusions.

That doesn't fit with anything I know about Weinersmith. You got any source?
