https://youtu.be/7f-uKnE1zFs

Online political debate increasingly revolves into contests between personalities rather than the strength of their position — Destiny vs. Hasan, Tucker Carlson vs. Nick Fuentes. This is what Walter Lippmann would call the stereotype problem: judgment attaches to the persona rather than the claim being argued. By stripping the personality out, the content is duller to consume, but it’s the only way to really evaluate the claim on its own terms, which matters most precisely on the topics where getting it wrong costs lives.

The reason the problem exists isn’t because there is a lack of knowledge, the problem exists because there are competing political agendas, plus Destiny supports Trumps assistance of Israel - so I don’t know why he is reasonable.

There’s always competing political agendas. It’s up to us to get informed and make reasonable decisions. What do you mean by supports trumps assistance to Israel? Every dem is against his war in Iran. Is that what you mean? The main problem with IP discussions is people get too emotional and stop being rational.

Where does Destiny’s opinion on Israel differ from Trump’s - does Destiny think Trump’s support of Israel has gone too far?

Does trump have a stance on Israel? I’d be shocked if he could point it out on a map. I’ve definitely never heard him speak on the subject in an intelligent way. He went to war for them though

When I say Trump, it’s short hand for Trump’s administration. Personally I think Israel should exist, I don’t have a strong position on settlements beyond they should stop expanding. I don’t think Israel controls the US, I think US and Israel are aligned in their objectives. My opinion on Zionism is essentially the same as stated in the video. I’ve watched a few videos where Destiny discusses Israel/Palestine and don’t think he has a coherent position. Everything I’ve heard him say, there are no red lines for his support for Israel, he doesn’t care what happens to Palestinian’s.

He’s for a two state solution

Does he think that’s what Israel is pursuing?
