Well-known russophobe and nuclear war apologist “breadtuber” Adam Something attempts to make jabs at Russia being fascist in his community tab:

Hours later, the literal fascist genocidal empire of the USA produces this picture:

Just found it funny that he’s trying so hard to paint Russia as the obviously most evil and fascist country and he plays the NATO apologism card (not in this post but he celebrated countries joining NATO as a response to the invasion of Ukraine), and the US just immediately hits him with the :i-am-adolf-hitler:

Also unrelated but god I love hexbear. It’s nice being able to mention Russia without having to preface everything with a blanket condemnation of Russia’s entire policy, living in western Europe is a freaking nightmare of freedom of speech.

    Azov Something is a pathetic excuse for an urbanist Youtuber and a pathetic excuse for a human at that. He loves to use the community tab to soapbox about ebil Russia.

    This comment from a couple years ago is what made me unsunscribe, and his subsequent episode with Well There’s Your Problem is what made me unsubscribe from their patreon:

    If you think the Soviets were worse than the Nazis, you are a nazi.

    I’ve been meaning to unsubscribe from him for almost a year now, but it’s kind of sad. Believe it or not, Adam Something was the guy who kicked off my radicalization, eventually into a communist. His older videos dunking non techbros and talking about public transportation were eye opening to a younger me, showing how much different the world could be with minor, low tech solutions. I used to watch him all the time which likely gave the algo pets mission to start pushing me more and more leftist content.

    He definitely has gone downhill though. His takes on the war in Ukraine are abysmal and I feel like every other post on his community tab is like what’s above. It’s sad because he was a very important piece in forming my politics, but it’s also past time for him to go.

    Russia is not good, but it is not good mostly in the same ways as the West, so western propaganda tends to grasp at straws, because otherwise people might notice that the West does the same shit but worse.

    Just because Elon did a Nazi salute doesn’t mean Russia itself isn’t fascist.

    If we only look at domestic policies, Russia is arguably worse in every way than the US. Maybe America can catch up to them with 4 years of Trump/MAGA/GOP in power though.

      Oh no, I don’t mean that Russia isn’t on a fascist spiral. They’re cracking hard on women’s and LGBTQ rights internally, going full batshit religious with the orthodox leaders blessing the war and the soldiers, etc. I just meant that some western “leftists” will do everything in their power to present Europe as “the stronghold against fascism” just because it’s currently opposed to Russian international policy, and will argue that Russia is worse than, say, the US or the EU, which it may be internally but not internationally.
