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.
They’re no different from all the MAGA morons. They’re completely unable to see the world as anything but “Us vs Them”. Either the sportsteam is perfect and can never do wrong (and you love them), or they are vile, contemptible skeletor-wannabes (and you hate them).
