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

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.

Holy shit he thinks the dems are socialists? :gulag:

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

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.

What the fuck lol is this man still an edgy teenager? Rolling his eyes and putting his hands on his face?

At some point, you have to grow up.

I have to say, this was also my first exposure to him and was shocked.
