      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

    Never watched a destiny video before. Is that really how he acts and sounds? Man is Reddit personified.

    berdly-smug smuglord is literally what he did for the entire 30 seconds.

      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.

          Maybe. Maybe not. He may believe they’re “socialists” the same way liberals believe Sweden is “socialist.” But he also has this insane habit of arguing with people whose stances he agrees with, belittling them for not answering his Devil’s advocate even though no one else has brought it up.

      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.

        Open relationships, but only to his own benefit and nobody else's.

        Huh, I saw a bunch of people calling him a cuck because the open relationship benefitted his partner and not him.

          I remember there was some drama about him messing around with other people's girlfriends, again this is all secondhand knowledge I've never watched a video of the guy.

          There was drama when it was revealed how much he and his friends were saying the N-word in private, and he said he would keep saying it, and when a black friend tried to engage with him about it, he attacked him until he cried, and then said his friend was crying on purpose to make him look bad.

          I think it's about Hasan (the twitch streamer dude), but again I obviously have little knowledge here. Apparently they were friends back in the day or something. And from what I can tell, Destiny and his fans are obsessed with Hasan.

    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
