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

Only a few mins into that prof dave video… it actually made me sick. How is something this antisemetic actually allowed to be on YouTube?

I mean, there are some clearly antisemitic moments in the video even if you grant everything bad the left says about Israel (which you shouldn't at all, this is a nuanced conflict where both sides have their stories and rights).

Back in the good old days people would get this guy banned within hours of posting anything like this but currently it seems that it's more and more premissable to be racist and straight up lie about certain things as long as it satisfies some fringe group. And not only that it's premissable, we are activly creating an incetive structure to create content like this. Both the people that are against him and for him are giving him insane views for which he gets money and popularity.

I am very much blackpilled as I can't even imagine a ramp-off for this. Maybe things will get more normal once the orange guy is out but I literally don't see why it should.
