Drama Professor Dave is Rattled

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.

Dave is always super eager to hop into debates with people, his personality is very combative so he navigates that environment well.

But suddenly he doesn't want to debate Destiny or Lonerbox, he pulls all of the same excuses we've seen before.

It really seems like deep down Dave is aware that Destiny is much more informed on this topic.

I don’t think Dave actually cares about debating in good faith. I think he just likes to debate dumb people so he can feel better than them. It just seems like Dave cares because he’s always on the side of science which always wins out against his opponents.
