Twitch Streamer Destiny and an Economist Debate Capitalism, Achieve Nothing

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

    You're right there. All debates seem to end with both parties talking past the other and no conclusions. Even a "good" debate like Foucault and Chomsky had the two reach no resolution and talk in circles.
