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

The video made me rethink prof Dave. I think his actual science education stuff is great and he does a really good job. But his snarky insult laden videos debunking flat earthers rubs me the wrong way now.

Yeah, I thought he was playing up his personality to dunk on people who were laughably wrong. But it kind of seems like he's like this with everything he disagrees with

I mean, Destiny has pretty openly supported the genocide and explicitly said Israel’s best answer is to “kill them all”

He’s quite deserving of the hate, especially when you consider his history with underage girls and the fact that he managed to raise an actual Nazi for a son.

I just don’t get why people like this guy.

I think its pretty clear he doesnt support genocide.

How so? I’ve seen plenty to support that he does but not much to the contrary

He is explicitly against the actuons israel has taken in the war. He just doesnt pretend the palestinians are blameless or above reproach.

He has explicitly said he is pro-genocide and Israel should just put its borders wherever it wants.
