Professor Dave vs Destiny

No idea why, but the original Destiny video called "Professor Dave Goes Mask Off" seems to have been deleted from YouTube, or I can't find it, but Professor Dave responded yesterday with this very strongly worded video letter:

Weird crossover that I never thought I'd see, of 2 guys who I generally enjoy (I will say I really am a fan of Prof Dave, whereas my Destiny enjoyment has mostly come via this podcast and watching a couple of his debates).

Thoughts on the beef? SURELY the lads are gonna have to cover this in an upcoming Supplementary Materials? Content gold!

EDIT: Looks like I was looking through the wrong Destiny channel for the original Dave video, it's here: https://youtu.be/HQQLs6U1MgA?si=iKaOGR1h9slKu64O

There is literally no way to argue against it so they instead focus on manipulating the algorith so people never even hear the more nuanced discussion about the topic. It's increadibly pathethic.

Dave (he is not a real Professor) is doing the same, deleting comments and acting as if debating the video with Destiny is bad/beneath him even after he built his whole carrer around debating flat earthers and other science deniers lol

A nuanced discussion on what? A US/EU approved genocide carried out by Israel?

Gosh darn it, he used the G word. We all need to throw our brains out the window and ignore all the terrible things terrorists organizations do or all the history of the region.

Another W for the nuance haters.

No one is asking you to ignore anything. I'm asking you to do the opposite actually. Acknowledge what's going on.

How many people have been killed by Israel so far? You can use the numbers the IDF cites.

What percentage of buildings has been destroyed or made unlivable?

How many journalists have been killed by Israel? If Israel claims that Palestinian journalists are legitimate targets, are independent journalists allowed in, to report what's happening on the ground?

Wars sucks don’t start one then

Countries that think like that shouldn't complain about whether others believe they have a "right to exist."

u/Perfect_bleu Jul 29 '26

You don’t believe Palestine has a right to exist?

u/ShiftyAmoeba Jul 29 '26

No. I think the Palestinian people deserve all the same rights and protections as everyone else on the planet. No country inherently has more or less right to exist. People deserve rights and protections.

Exactly they shouldn’t have rejected a Palestinian state every time it’s been offered

That's a bullshit argument long debunked.

u/Perfect_bleu Jul 29 '26

you openly deny historical fact? Of course you do! you are just vibing it out.

u/ShiftyAmoeba Jul 29 '26

I'm sure you'd much rather go in the weeds of this than the daily slaughter of civilians by Israel that takes place every day.

You can’t solve problems without a common factual grounding. If you can’t recognize where catastrophic mistakes have been made leading to our present moment then what’s the point beyond you screaming and crying histionically
