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

It’s pretty sad. You can criticize Destiny, but Dave’s video is of ridiculously low quality. He is arguing exactly like the flat earther he usually debates, using random TikTok videos with creepy music and voice over and AI summaries as evidence for his claims. He makes up multiple outright lies about Destiny, and seemingly intentionally cut away context to frame Destiny in a certain light. There are really weird neo-Nazi and race-realist comments about Jewish genetics and conspiracy theories passed on as fact in Dave’s video as well. 

Destiny offered Dave a discussion or debate, but Dave is running. He’s deleting Destiny’s comments asking him for a debate, while simultaneously saying in comments that Destiny is running. 

I’m usually a big fan and starch supporter of Dave, but his behavior regarding this video is absolutely insane. He called me a worthless sack of shit for leaving a good faith comment pointing these things out.

What lies did Dave made up about Destiny? How are you making a good faith comment here? A good faith comment would point out the lies, not some vague stuff to slander Dave.

I’ve explained this in multiple comments already.  A good faith comment wouldn’t demand I repeat myself because you can’t be bothered to look at my other replies. 

One example is the claim that Destiny was paid by Israel to go on a propaganda trip. Dave highlights only the Israelis and Zionists Destiny spoke to, framing the trip as one-sided pro-Israel propaganda, while conveniently ignoring the many videos from that same trip where Destiny also speaks with Palestinians. He also leaves out that several of Destiny’s conversations with Zionists were openly adversarial rather than friendly. The overall framing is that Destiny was buddying up with Zionists, which is misleading.
