      My favorite part is how his eyes are closed and he just pauses, as if he’s pondering why in the world he’s even dignifying this man child with a response

      Reminds me of

      Yes. If he’s not complaining about property crime and calling for right wing massacres, then he’s either debating random e-celebs or getting crushed by actual experts.

      Here’s a recap of his “debate” with Richard Wolff

      https://www.vice.com/en/article/jg8x77/twitch-streamer-destiny-and-an-economist-debate-capitalism-achieve-nothing

      Throughout the debate, Destiny groaned loudly and twisted around in his chair. He put his hands on his face and rolled his eyes. The Twitch chat rolled along, arbitrarily scoring the debate and getting excited when either participant seemed to get mad.

      One of Destiny’s biggest peeves was Wolff’s use of history to explain socialism and capitalism.

      “You’ve told me a bunch of things that capitalism isn’t. You’ve given me a bunch of random collected facts of history,” Destiny said after Wolff had given what he felt was an unsatisfactory definition of capitalism.

      “Why would you talk about the history of it? That’s not relevant,” Destiny said, after asking Wolff why he refused to call the modern American democratic party a socialist party.

      “Why don’t you just let me respond without coaching me how to do it?” Wolff said.

      I’ve just figured out why redditors love Destiny. Keep in mind I have never watched or heard a Destiny video or podcast until now, all my knowledge of him is second or third hand. Man is literally living the dream life of a redditor. Destiny is the personification of Reddit.

      • Acts super smug in both body language and vocal tone despite having only internet level knowledge on a topic, while people with actual expertise, experience and degrees on the subject cringe and hate him.

      • Made an entire career out of this smugness by preaching to his choir of fools over internet video streaming platforms, ironically while being atheist. (Fails to realise that he has just replaced religion with this).

      • Open relationships, but mainly to his own benefit.

      • Socially progressive until something actually effects him, then it’s time to ask the cops to mow down protestors.

      • Fell out with his token minority friend, and is endlessly obsessed about it.

      Like you cannot get more 2016 era redditor than this guy. It’s physically impossible.

    I checked out a few clips here and there. And yeah. Norm did however comfont reddit in human form and make it look like the loser it is. Fake nerds must die. “We have read 10 000 books on the subject between the two of us and you’ve read 2 Wikipedia articles” is the realist shit. These dorks have slid by on pretending to know things cause they can skim info on Google or Wikipedia fast. They can look up surface knowledge and cause they bother to do so on occasion where others don’t they think they’re as smart as people thst read books. They aren’t. If your Intel isn’t available on a dead tree somewhere, it’s probably trash

      He didn’t just say “between the two of us.” He gestured to include the other Zionist when he said “between us we have read 10,000 books”, basically saying that Destiny is the dumbest person in the room lol
