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 Something does fun videos where he picks apart techbro innovations and points out that what they are suggesting as new future transport tech is nearly always slower, more expensive, and with less capacity than a train. he has particular distaste for Musk and his projects.

      just like all evolution trends towards crabs, all techbro innovation trends towards trains

      No, nor are they even very similar. Adam Conover is a serious leftist and a union organiser. Adam Something is quite centrist, and gives off some vague pro-military-industrial-complex vibes. (Even if he does channel those vibes in favour of the right side in the Russo-Ukrainian war.)

      The only thing I remember he ruined is Dubai, especially with the plumbing and the shit trucks
