Twitch Streamer Destiny and an Economist Debate Capitalism, Achieve Nothing
www.vice.com
Steven 'Destiny' Bonnell II and Richard Wolff debated economic theories for 90 minutes on Twitch.

I can't believe this is real lol

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.

“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.

I've seen people IRL talk about him and Hasan. Truly the darkest of ages

    Im so glad I'm not the only one saying this. These internet celebrities are not your friend. The minute the cash cow stops is the minute they stop caring about you or your politics.

      Okay. I just don’t think this is an issue anyone should be focused on. Far to many on the left feel they need to talk about to everything all the time.

      End war, eradicate poverty, equality for all, pursuit of happiness for all. Our messaging needs to be condensed not expanded to include a list of things people are allowed to like and dislike.

            Calm down Destiny, and no I believe you shouldn't watch parasites who pretend to have your political views but I can't make you do anything nor can you make me. There's no contradiction here.

                No one’s telling you to watch. We’re saying talking about how you hate Hasan Piker when the topic is t even about him is probably not as valuable as you think. We all consume some form of media that isn’t perfect. I don’t think it’s productive to try and control what people watch and consume when it’s already more left leaning than 99% of available options in America.

                We’re not going to get 11 year olds to read what is to be done.
