I feel you didnt pay much attention that Adam was forced into initial cooperation with Cinder. After she got one half of the power from the maiden she took out his men and told him ger in line or into the ground.

As someone stated he could have fought her and lost his men. Meanwhile aiding her would benefit him in Lien, weapons and, a chance to strike at Beacon th3 symbol of stability in Vale.

So Adam in the end had plenty to gain along with the losses he suffered in the train as a loss but clearly it worked out for him. Becsuse he gambled on Cinders plan. Sokething any commander worth bis salt has to do sometimes for victory no, I feel it is you who ignored that I addressed that in my Post

If he was truly as much of a whipped dog as you assert, he wouldn't be so damned cocky. If he had as much character as you assert, he wouldn't work with Cinder at all. If he were in this endeavor for his people(as you assert) he would have killed Cinder when he had the chance and/or taken her dust/money for himself... Because none of the above happened, he obviously lacks the conviction to change meaningfully into a "good guy". theres  a difference from pragmatism and idiocy, Adam had nothing to gain by killing Cinder. I think you might just be missing the othe rend of the spectrum Cinder planned and succesfully brought down Vale and Beacon academy. If you think it's wise to cheat a cheater, thats a game your going to lose.

Adam was a leader that understood when to fold and when to attack, he was coerced inot working with her, once more their goals aligned in bringing down the governing body of Beacon. That is a win for Adam I don't understand what you mean by he has weak conviction.

He obviously understands the lesser of two evils when it comes to getting what he wants even if it means working with a human.
