      Well Theres Your Problem invited him on to do an explicitly anti-communist episode. Couldn't possibly guess who's idea that was.

        I still think they should officially apologize for that episode and delete it. At the bare minimum Adam Something is an extremely unhinged anticommunist, at worst a fascist. He has said that the Soviets were worse than the Nazis at one point, which is a form of genocide denial. I have a screenshot of it somewhere, will try to find it. For all of Liam's faults he still credits the USSR with winning WWII and stopping Nazi Germany.

      "The west would survive (a nuclear war) in some form or another"

      That is a hell of a gamble based on the guess of some youtuber. Russia still has their cold war arsenal what the fuck is wrong with these people.

      I am not OK with making decsions about nuclear physics based on wishy thinking

        in some form or another

        Even in the sense that it's impossible to disprove because if you're wrong, nobodies left to do it, this is just purely infalsifiable even on the more direct approach. A few hundred high ranking government official in a bunker in berlin is technically the west surviving in one form or another

          Yeah a not unreasonable point to make is that I actually wasn't worried about the continuation of western values I couldn't give a shit about that but the prospect of me and all my loved ones dying is a concern of mine

      Rationalizing the worst possible thing that could ever happen as acceptable. Here is an actually sane take: https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2022/10/03/nothings-more-important-than-avoiding-nuclear-war-notes-from-the-edge-of-the-narrative-matrix/

      Words have meaning. I literally just posted in the megathread about how he is a clown but calling him a nazi is absurd. Look at his content, it's overwhelmingly anti-capitalist and definitely left-leaning.

      Most people don't have a coherent ideology. Adam Something is a left-lib with terminal anti-USSR brainworms and very dumb takes on Ukraine. He's probably adjacent to Bernie or AOC.

        He is not simply a liberal with anti-communist brainworms. He was a fascist as a teenager, has defended allying with fascists in the present day, and then of course also peddles your typical fascist anti-communism. To make matters worse, he is strangelove-wow pilled and thinks waging nuclear war wouldn't be too bad. His ideology is incoherent insofar as he is willing to grab aspects of both liberalism and fascism. That still makes you a fascist though.

        Azov SSomething supports NAFO and even had a fundraider for €18.000 to have his on a missile.

        That alone deserves the wall at least thrice.

        Social-Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism.

        Azov something just wants more treats - when presented with the material conditions that underpin the unequal exchange that powers his western lifestyle he immediately breaks out the calipers. This is why we call him and similar social democrats fascist, as all his pretentions to leftism will fall away as soon as they are confronted with anything requiring actual solidarity.
