It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

“It shows”

“There is no evidence of Israel doing that”

screm-a

I can’t help but wonder if he deep down understands what he’s saying is a load of crap and if he’s aware that he’s just running damage control for Western Liberalism and this rotten world order it’s built for for its own sake. People will be fooled if they want to be fooled, and liberals who want to pretend that their ideology isn’t sustained by the blood of thousands of children in the global periphery will grasp at anything, no matter how weak. Especially true for streamer grift artists whose personal brand depends on it (something something “you can’t convince someone if their paycheck depends on their ignorance)

There’a no link since I just grabbed this screen, but it looks like he deleted/hid it lol

Destiny didn't delete the tweet. He has like 10 tweets afterward where he's defending his statements that Israel isn't committing genocide. He uses many of the usual Zionist lines but also he says that when Israel is killing Palestinian civilians that they are simply doing war and that it doesn't count as genocide. Very heinous things to say.

Destiny is a debate-pervert. He says shocking things for attention so that people will argue with him. I want to say that it's best to just ignore him because what he wants is attention, but his recent rise in popularity in mainstream media tells me that ignoring him isn't working anymore. He recently did a collaboration with Ben Shapiro. Destiny knows that being a Zionist is growing his popularity in the mainstream.

his recent rise in popularity in mainstream media

Where has he been showing up?

In the screenshot of the OP, he's arguing with Medhi Hasan who is an established mainstream journalist for MSNBC. Destiny has mainstream journalists replying to him on twitter.

The other thing that comes to mind is that he was on Lex Fridman's podcast with Ben Shapiro. Lex Fridman is like techbro Joe Rogan. Ben Shapiro is one of the biggest media figures in right wing media
