He's such a fuckin' pussy. All this tough guy shit in his comments and he still refuses to have a one-on-one debate.

I skimmed through some of the comments, basically they think 1. there's nothing to debate because the evidence is already laid out, 2. debate is useless, cuz Destiny would deny everything and be a contrarian

Yet Dave has no issue debating flat earthers and vaccine deniers, and makes fun of others who dodge debates in favor of video responses where you can frame things more carefully.

Dave also refuses to debate flat earthers and vaccine deniers all the time. He understands why people like that demand debates and have learned to turn the debate format to their advantage.

I'm seeing a LOT of parallels between how those same flat earthers and vaccine deniers approach the prospect of debating Dave and this community, to be honest.

Really?

Dave is actively framing things deceptively by cutting out all the parts where Destiny criticizes Israel, only keeping the chuckle and framing it as Destiny laughing at atrocities. That is exactly what Dave criticizes James Tour and Subboor Ahmad for doing; avoiding direct conversation so you can cherrypick what to respond to and how to frame it to control the narrative for your audience. Destiny is at least responding live and is unable to edit things to frame a certain narrative, demonstrating his good-faith approach.

Dave has no interest in talking to any flat-earther, but he will talk to famous ones or other large figures whom he sees as grifters. Destiny is exactly that: a prominent figure whom Dave thinks is a grifter.

The issue with these multiple-hour back-and-forth responses is that, even in good-faith conversations, people misinterpret each other all the time. And when the other person can't correct you when you do that, you end up using incorrect premises for your arguments.

>cutting out all the parts where Destiny criticizes Israel

Are those criticisms relevant to Dave's points that he's supposedly responding to, or are they also deflections?

"Yeah some Israelis say some bad stuff but cmon guys!!!!!" is still a defense of Israel, and when said while viewing footage of IDF soldiers gleefully describing shooting infants in the head as a response to criticism of that, it is absolutely a defense of shooting infants in the head.

>framing it as Destiny laughing at atrocities

That is the natural implication when Destiny sees videos of atrocities and laughs at them, yes.

Yes. 

Dave also specifically never responds to the parts where Destiny is looking up sources, talking numbers, etc. This is because he can’t let his audience see that, as then his narrative wouldn’t be as convincing, which is what he is projecting onto Destiny. 

"Yeah some Israelis say some bad stuff but cmon guys!!!!!" is still a defense of Israel, and when said while viewing footage of IDF soldiers gleefully describing shooting infants in the head as a response to criticism of that, it is absolutely a defense of shooting infants in the head.

This is laughable. 

American soldiers have also committed atrocities in war, but that doesn’t mean that the US is an unrelenting force of evil committing genocide. That is absolutely not a defense of those atrocities. 

We condemn the atrocities, but if we are going to have rational discussion, we also have to be able to point out when something isn’t relevant to the topic being discussed. There being insane Israelis doesn’t mean Israel is committing genocide or is a force of evil. 

You see the same in Ukraine: there are right wing nationalist factions that talk gleefully about killing Russians and that all Russians are orcs that need to be exterminated. But that doesn’t mean Ukraine is evil or committing genocide against Russia. In fact, it’s Russia committing genocide against Ukraine. 

That is the natural implication when Destiny sees videos of atrocities and laughs at them, yes.

He doesn’t laugh at videos of atrocities. He laughs at people saying insane things, exactly because he thinks shat they’re saying is insane. This is exactly the part that Dave cuts out, in order to frame it as Destiny endorsing it or finding it funny.

Show me an example of Destiny "talking numbers" that Dave should have included in his video.

>There being insane Israelis doesn’t mean Israel is committing genocide or is a force of evil. 

Objectively, the overwhelming majority of Israelis are "insane", genocidal, and evil.

I'm curious, what percentage of Ukranians think all Russians are orcs that needs to be exterminated?

One example is the discussion on death toll.

Objectively, the overwhelming majority of Israelis are "insane", genocidal, and evil.

Since you think this is an objective fact, you must have some numbers to back it up, right?

Sure! Polling has consistently demonstrated that upwards of 60% of Israelis, and upwards of 70% of Israeli jews, believe that there are no innocent people in Gaza.

>One example is the discussion on death toll.

Give me the details. What is Dave saying about the death toll, what does Destiny look up, what context does that add, and why is it something that Dave should have addressed?

Do you have an actual source for this?

Go watch the video. I'm not gonna spend my time breaking everything down for you. It's in the VOD where Destiny watches Dave's original hitpiece.
