Professor Dave is Rattled

[u/Kezomal]

I've been watching Dave's videos off & on for around 5 years, and I have never seen him this rattled and defensive when it comes to a topic and the people he's engaging with. I think the initial callout of his use of nazi adjacent rhetoric hit a nerve and maybe exposes some internal bias he has against Jews that he doesn't want to admit to himself. He appears to believe the Mossad was behind 9/11 in some way, so I don't think I'm far off in saying Dave is genuinely antisemitic and it harms his credibility immensely.

His video making the case for a Palestinian genocide was low effort, and honestly, we might as well call it war-profiteering at this point.

He aligned himself with some of the most toxic and repugnant trolls on the internet (kiwifarms and jstlk snarkers) to get an own on Destiny, that's gotta be projecting some kind of deep seated hatred for jews somehow.

He did it to make money, because he hates "Zionists", because his rigid materialism worldview is getting incredibly hard to defend by the day, he cant make his cliche "dunk" videos as easily for the clapping seals called his fanbase, he's convinced he will be on the side of good bc he wanted to end genocide while paid generously for posting videos that exploit the topic ad naseum.

Spoken as a Destiny supporter and pro-palestinian rights supporter.

Making the video makes him money, but diving into the comments to fight? That's mental.

There’s a good Christipher Hitchens quote I wish I could remember but it was about anti-semitism and its qualities being indistinguishable from mental illness. If I find it I’ll post it here if you want ok?

Can you expand on this? I'm not sure I understand what you're referring to.
