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.

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.

I can relate to liking his former videos, hence the "breadtuber" thing in my post. They're very much non-theory based and very vibes-based, but they were in the right spirit when talking about public transit and so on. I immediately unsubbed and stopped watching any content when he started memeing about and promoting one of these

CW: violence and death"pay Ukrainian soldiers to write a message in an artillery shell" things.
That shit was fucking vile and dehumanizing

Holy shit I missed that. When was that?

At some point during the first year of the war he started posting such things, I think in the community tab of his second channel "Adam Something Else" although it may have been in the main one, I don't remember very well.

CW: death and murderHe was sharing a video of Ukrainian soldiers writing "memes" on artillery shells and firing them at Russian positions, and you could go to a link he shared to pay and get a video of your message being fired.
