Adam Something is pointing out Russia is falling in to fascism, and campists think that pointing out that the USA is also degenerating into fascism (and Adam recognizing it) is somehow a dunk.
Later on they try to backpedal in the comments after being called out for this whataboutism shit take, by saying that “no of course I don’t defend Russia, but…”
Note: I’m not here to defend Adam Something; but merely to point out that common counter-argument “we never defended Russia” runs kinda shallow when they constantly run interference like that.
Two ducks of different colored feathers remain two ducks. Discovering a second duck doesn’t cause the first one to cease to exist, nor make a fool out of anyone who perceived it as a duck.
