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.
Whataboutism is basically their go to. Their mind doesn’t understand people actually being capable of critical thinking and being able to criticize both things, they just project their own personality cult belief system.
And the mere concept that it might not be two homogeneous groups that are either all good or all bad would probably blow their minds completely.
It wouldn’t. Because it can’t possibly enter their minds.
