      In the context of the episode, that was wildly overstated.

      In a broader sense, Adam Something's claim to fame mostly seems to revolve around dunking on the debauched clusterfuck that is Middle Eastern oligarchies. The "he's a fascist!" shit is rooted in the Ukraine/Russia conflict. And - much like with Zizek, another Eastern European looking askance at nationalists in modern Russia butting heads with neoliberals in the West disturbingly close to his home state - the term fascism seems to get pitched out by people in the imperial core at people in the satraps who are genuinely concerned for their lives.

          He literally admitted to formerly being a fascist

          He admitted to what, exactly? Joining up with like minded brownshirts to burn down a ghetto? Or did he admit to posting cringe online?
