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.
Adam had a weird take where he tried to argue not to be afraid of Russia nuclear threats because it would mean their annihilation but wouldn’t be the literal end of the world. For campists this meant that Adam is pro-nuclear-war, because nuance is dead.
His point was that it would be worse for russia than for everyone else. Which is a weird take to be sure, because “worse for russia than everyone else” is literally the history of the whole country.
