Hasanabi And Destiny BREAK UP Over Kamala Misinformation

On July 7, 2019 Destiny and Hasan Piker had a very heated discussion regarding Piker's portrayal of American politician Kamala Harris in one of his videos, ultimately leading to their first major fallout. ^[1] Upon reviewing the underlying facts of the video(which Hasan states were sourced primarily from a Twitter thread on the candidate), Destiny found that "almost every single thing Hasan said in the video was either dead wrong or horribly stretched out of what's actually happening". While the two spent several hours debating these underlying facts, only a few of Destiny's grievances with the video were addressed. Furthermore, the debate was mired by several instances of Hasan inadvertently speaking over Destiny due to the poor quality headset/microphone setup Destiny possessed at the time.

Prior to the call's conclusion, Hasan accuses Destiny of gaslighting, strawmanning, and creating insane hypotheticals throughout the conversation. Hasan continues, stating he "hates this shit", discusses his disdain towards accusations of Moral Luck from Destiny's community, and likens talking to Destiny to trying to speak with Ben Shapiro . As the conversation concludes, Destiny counters that every hypothetical posited during the conversation was provided with the specific intent of exploring a given topic, and offers to discuss any disingenuous debate tactics Hasan feels were used against him at a later date.

On July 8, 2019 Hasan comments in several reddit threads and sends multiple tweets expressing his frustrations with Destiny and DGG. Through both mediums, Hasan claims debates are "just for entertainment", accuses Destiny of acting in bad faith, and ridicules Destiny for wasting time debating an ally on the left. ^[2] Following this, Destiny responds on stream, expresses his annoyance with Hasan's behavior both during and after the debate, and goes over Hasan's Pete Buttigieg video. Following his review, Destiny discovers Hasan's video on Buttigieg to be even more dishonest than his video on Harris, and levies several criticisms towards Hasan's framing of the candidate. During the video, Hasan lables fans of Buttigieg as "booty-heads", and repeatedly referred to Buttigieg himself as "booty-judge". Destiny took particular issue with the "booty-head" nickname, as he had recently suffered much criticism from both Hasan and his community for referring to Hasan as a "Bernie bro." Upon learning that Buttigieg is gay, Destiny would go on to take even more umbrage with Hasan's nickname for the candidate, arguing it to be an empowerment of homophobic rhetoric. Destiny concludes the video by claiming to treat Hasan with kid gloves, explaining he has tried to be very gentle with Hasan during their discussions, only to have Hasan ridicule and ad-hom him.

On July 9, 2019, Hasan submits a post to r/Destiny, reiterating several of the claims made in his initial debate with Destiny and harkening back to an earlier debate involving his alleged desire to abstain from voting in the next election. Hasan concludes the post by requesting for Destiny to deplatform him if he truly feels he engaged in bad faith or gross misrepresentations of reality. Alternatively, Hasan suggests that Destiny should acknowledge he spent too much time on semantics during their discussion, concede to acting in bad faith, and admit to overwhelming him with rhetoric. Destiny comments thirty minutes after the thread's submission, reiterates several of the points made in their earlier discussion, and accuses Hasan of functioning as a propaganda arm pushing "Bernie or bust" memes while simultaneously claiming to not do so. He concludes the comment by comparing Hasan's dismissal of his arguments as "semantics" to tactics used by right-wing individuals he had previously debated.

Shortly following Destiny's reply to Hasan's reddit thread, Hasan eventually discovers Destiny's "kid gloves" and "booty-judge" comments. Hasan goes on to express his disdain for such comments over several mediums(dgg chat, discord, twitter), and proceeds to have several back and forths with Destiny before the bridge is ultimately burned between the two content creators.

Destiny eventually creates a reddit thread, and addresses the circumstances of the breakup one final time on stream. During the stream, Destiny accuses Hasan of engaging in "partisan hackery", being "morally lucky", and argues that Hasan has taken on the form of an ideologue. Destiny concludes the stream stating that while he still wants to be friends with Hasan, he is disappointed by the lack of principles showcased by Hasan during this time. Shortly following Destiny's stream, Hasan begins his own. During his stream, Hasan discusses his sadness about no longer being friends with Destiny, but goes on to reiterate his disgust for Destiny's behavior during this time.

Destiny calls Hasan a Bernie Bro, apologizes later

Destiny informing DGG chat of his intention to debate Hasan.

Sometime around June 27, 2019 Hasan and his community(alongside several members of Destiny's own community), derided Destiny for calling Hasan a "Bernie Bro" and for claiming individuals like Hasan tend to exaggerate negative claims of presidential candidates other than Bernie Sanders . ^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6] Destiny, admitting he was not aware of the pejorative nature of the phrase, eventually apologized to Hasan.

On July 7, 2019, while on a flight, Destiny took it upon himself to review one of Hasan's videos, and discern whether it warranted criticism. The video in question was "You Don't Want Cop-Mala Harris", a twenty-five minute video by Hasan detailing his issues with Kamala Harris as a potential Democratic candidate. Following viewing the video, Destiny informed his chat of his intention to debate Hasan regarding the video's contents that night.^[7]

Destiny shares his thoughts on Hasan's "You don't want Cop-Mala Harris" video.

DGG's Favorability of Kamala before and after viewing Hasan's "You don't want Cop-Mala Harris" video.^[8]
Before	After
Kamala is cool: 16% Lukewarm on Kamala: 60% Hate Kamala: 24%	Kamala is cool: 9% Lukewarm on Kamala: 43% Hate Kamala: 48%

On the night of announcing his intention to debate Hasan regarding the contents of his Kamala Harris video, Destiny plays the video in its entirety for his stream. Prior to and after viewing the video, Destiny polled his audience(see right) to determine their favorability towards Harris. Following the poll's completion, Destiny found that his audience held a more disfavorable view towards Harris after viewing the video. Upon seeing the results, Destiny explains that he fact-checked every claim by Hasan made in the video, and ultimately concluded that Hasan was wrong in several instances and may have even created the video in bad faith. Destiny went on to chide Hasan for erroneously spreading disinformation about a potential democratic candidate during an election year.

I went through the claims on the video, because I was curious how much of it was maybe exaggerated a little bit, how much of it was completely correct, and then "was there anything in here that was wrong". When I started to go through the claims in this video about Kamala Harris, almost every single thing Hasan says in this video is either dead wrong or horribly stretched out of what's actually happening... Almost every single point, and it actually was like really frustrating to listen to.

— Destiny on Hasan's You Don't want Kopmala Harris video.

Destiny provides the following examples of bad faith critiques made by Hasan throughout the video:

Topic

Hasan's claim

Destiny's critique

ICE

Hasan claims that Kamala supported a law in 2008 that forced schools to refer undocumented students to ICE.

Timestamps for claim
2:53 Hasan begins his claim.

Destiny explains that while he could find no information regarding the specific law Hasan is referring to, he was able to find information regarding a law established in that same year which allowed for illegal immigrants charged with a crime to be referred to ICE(with no mention of schools specifically referring students to the agency). Destiny goes on to explain that the law originated following an illegal immigrant being charged with the murder of three individuals, and that Kamala has recently stated that she regrets supporting the law. A chatter later asks if Destiny thinks this video is worse than any others critiquing Harris, given that Kamala is one of the "weirdest" areas of left-wing extreme bias. Destiny replies that it's not weird at all if one takes into account that people on the left hate cops, and that Hasan's video could be boiled down to "I really hate cops".

3:23 Destiny begins his critique

Truancy policy

Hasan claims that Harris instituted a harsh, punitive, and dehumanizing truancy policy towards low income and single-parent families which involved "Lock[ing] innocent black mothers up for truancy". Hasan goes on to claim that Harris incarcerated a single, homeless mother of three working two jobs because her children were truants, and then touted it as a success story. Hasan went on to critique Harris for sending a "gestapo force" of intimidating officers(like homicide and gang detectives) to "scare the shit out of a homeless mother of three" into ensuring her children attended school.

Timestamps for claim
9:02 Hasan's claim regarding Harris' truancy policy.

Destiny argues that while he remains unsure whether Harris' policy was a net good or bad, Hasan's framing of the policy(that Kamala was sending a "gestapo force" to bully homeless women into sending their children to school) was overtly negative, unfairly framed, and did not accurately represent the intent or outcomes of the policy. Destiny pointed out that Harris's policy was intended to address a real issue—truancy—which is linked to higher rates of criminal behavior and poor outcomes for children. He argued that Harris's use of legal pressure was a way to compel parents to take their children's education seriously and to connect them with resources that could help improve school attendance. Destiny maintains that this is a positive, albeit potentially harsh, intervention, rather than a draconian measure as Hasan implied.

Timestamps for critique
10:34 Destiny begins his critique 24:38 Destiny finds out that prior to Harris's policy, truancy citations were only issued to parents whose children missed more than fifty days of school(none of which were placed in jail). Following Harris's law, students who missed more than 10% of school days in a year(19 days) without a valid excuse would be subject to a truancy citation. 27:28 A chatter informs Destiny that the truancy policy would disproportionately affect people of color, which is why several people took issue with it. Destiny counters that this is not necessarily bad, especially if people of color were disproportionately having issues sending their children to school. Destiny goes on to argue that the central point of the policy was to provide struggling parents the necessary resources in order to send their children to school. Destiny argues that Hasan disingenuously framed the clip of Harris "touting" the policy to make it seem like she was celebrating sending the "gestapo" to poor families. 37:30 Following a chatter's inquiry with regards to the goal of Harris sending "intimidating" officers, Destiny argues that the "homicide and gang detectives" who were sent to these homes were volunteers. Destiny further argues that while it's possible these detectives were motivated for malicious reasons, it is equally likely that the "disgusting shit" seen daily by these detectives(i.e. 16 year olds with stab wounds), may have motivated them to speak with these families to nip potential future cases in the bud.

Should Kamala have addressed the issues differently?

Hasan argues that Harris should have sought other ways to bolster individuals and address socioeconomic issues in her district that did not involve criminal prosecution.

Timestamps for claim
17:22 Hasan begins his claim. 49:44 Hasan argues Harris should have sought to fix socioeconomic problems instead of being a "draconian prosecutor".

Destiny argues that as a District Attorney, Harris's primary responsibilities included law enforcement and public safety, and therefore, it was natural for her to use those tools to address issues like truancy. Destiny further argued that Harris did not have the the power to create social programs, allocate financial incentives, or directly address broader socio-economic issues. Destiny maintains that Harris's role was limited to enforcing the law and using legal measures to address problems within her jurisdiction. Destiny felt that Hasan's criticism did not fully account for these limitations, and that Hasan unfairly blamed Harris for not pursuing solutions that were beyond her control as a DA.

Timestamps for critique
17:29 Destiny begins his critique, argues that Kamala did what she could within the purview of her position. 32:50 Destiny reiterates that the goal of the policy was to "break the cycle" of poverty, by pushing people to send their children to school, not to simply put the "poorest in society in prison and give them fines they can't pay". Destiny mentions that Harris alleges a 20% increase in children attendance for her district following the institution of the policy, indicating it may have truly had a positive effect. 38:51 Destiny argues that Kamala did what she could within the purview of her position. 41:05 A chatter argues that Harris attempted to address issues outside her purview as a DA. Destiny explains that the actions Harris took were completely within her purview as a DA, arguing that she was attempting to "make her city a safer place". Destiny further argues that Harris managing her police force in a manner that contributed to more kids going to school was "not the worst thing in the world". 50:12 Upon hearing Hasan's argument that Harris should have sought way to fix socioeconomic opportunities, Destiny expresses his confusion arguing that fixing said issues were not within the purview of her job as a DA.

Destiny spends the next hour of his stream fielding questions from his chat and expressing his overall disappointment with individuals in DGG defending Hasan's seemingly unfair position towards Harris, as well as Hasan himself for disseminating such misinformation. Throughout this portion of the stream, Destiny makes clear his regret towards previously making "blanket statements of hate" towards police officers, argues similar statements are a really poor way of making evaluations, and reiterates that Hasan's video could be boiled down to "I really hate cops".

Man, I really really regret all my previous tweets about hating cops, I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have done it so much. I don't think it's good to just blanket hate cops, any more than it's good to blanket hate anybody. I don't think it's a good thing to do. I think there are a lot of shit fucking cops in the US and we have institutional problems with cops in the US, but it really blinds you to seeing anything in an objective manner, when you see a cop, and you instantly like hate every single thing associated with them. I don't know, I think it's a really bad way to go about evaluating a person.

— Destiny on his prior statements regarding police officers

Destiny goes on to express his disdain for statements such as "abolish all prisons", "getting rid of all police", and "all cops are bad", arguing such unproductive statements seem to be prevalent in much of left-leaning rhetoric surrounding crime and police officers. Destiny asserts that there is "two sides to the issue" and "some level of crime that [must be] addressed", which individuals like Hasan tend to refrain from acknowledging in their critiques. Before Destiny can continue his list of grievances, Hasan himself joins the call.

Reaction Timestamps
0:18 Destiny reads the results from a poll he submitted to his chat before viewing Hasan's "You don't want Kopmala Harris" video. The poll initially showed that 16% of people were very-favorable towards her, now down to 9%. 60% were kind of luke warm on her, now down to 43%. 24% hated her before, now it's up to 48%. 0:52 Destiny explains why he feels a lot of the statements that people like Hasan have made about establishment democrats have not been made in good faith. Destiny elaborates that he doesn't feel like the grievances several "lefties" appear to have about "things staying the same" if Biden gets elected are warranted. 1:15 Destiny points to how people are critical of him for critiquing Hasan's "investigative reporting" methods. 1:24 Destiny recounts how he stumbled across Hasan's video, and took note of every claim to fact check. Destiny then points how how every claim about Kamala identified in Hasan's video is either dead wrong or horribly stretched out of what's actually happening. 2:18 Destiny describes how he questioned if he was projecting his hatred of lefties onto Hasan, and wrote down the claims Hasan made to ensure he wasn't doing so. 2:53 Destiny plays an example of a bad-faith claim Hasan made: Hasan asserts Kamala supported a law in 2008 that forced schools to turn over undocumented students over to ICE. Destiny explains that while there is no information regarding the law Hasan is referring to, there is a law in that same year which allowed for illegal immigrants charged with a crime to be referred to ICE. Destiny goes on to explain that the law originated following an illegal immigrant being charged with the murder of three individuals. 4:34 A chatter informs Destiny that schools did in fact give up illegal immigrants to ICE. Destiny replies that he could not find any information relating to that. 5:55 Destiny explains that Harris regrets her support for the bill, and that individuals misinterpreting the actual context of the story do the left a disservice. 6:36 A chatter asks if Destiny thinks this video is worse than any other critiquing Harris, given that Kamala is one of the "weirdest" areas of left-wing extreme bias. Destiny replies that it's not weird at all if one takes into account that people on the left hate cops, and that Hasan's video could be boiled down to "I really hate cops". 9:04 Destiny plays a position Hasan gave regarding Harris' truancy policy. 10:34 Destiny responds to Hasan's truancy position. 13:22 Destiny bans two chatters.^[9] 14:01 Destiny replays Hasan's truancy position, and argues Hasan is presenting Harris's position in an overtly negative light. 15:17 Destiny declares his intent to ban chatters who are "insanely anti-cop" in dgg. 16:23 Hasan describes Harris using a "gestapo" force to threaten homeless people. 17:34 Destiny responds to Hasan's claim that Harris should have sought other ways to bolster individuals in her position. 20:12 Destiny draws a parallel between left-leaning individuals arguing against his position in dgg and providing irrelevant links to alt-righters "shotgunning out a million articles relating to IQ" during a debate on race-realism. 21:36 Destiny expresses his desire for better discussions, and argues Hasan's assertion that "Kamala is sending the gestapo" is not very interesting to discuss. 23:05 Destiny discusses how he is no longer idealistic with regards to policy making in the US. 27:28 A chatter informs Destiny that the truancy policy would disproportionately affect people of color, which is why several people had problems with it. Destiny counters that this is not necessarily bad, especially if people of color were having issues sending their children to school. 32:08 Destiny says he regrets making "blanket statements of hate" towards police officers. 34:28 Destiny argues that of all the potential applications of utilizing police officers, using them to encourage parents to send their children to school is the most preferable for a positive community impact. 35:21 Destiny argues with a chatter who claims parents who don't feed their children should be arrested following Destiny's logic. Destiny counters with another hypothetical of potentially using the police to force parents to vaccinate their children. 36:16 Destiny discusses child protectives services role in truancy. 37:30 Destiny discusses why homicide and gang detectives might have volunteered to visit homes of truants. 39:22 A chatter quotes MLK's "white moderate" speech to Destiny, and accuses him of pushing "cop apologia". Following this, Destiny discusses how "nobody wants to do anything ever", and states that he empathizes with the difficulties of politicians like Harris in trying to effect change within their means. 41:05 A chatter argues that Harris attempted to address issues outside her purview as a DA. Destiny explains that the actions Harris took were completely within her purview as a DA, arguing that she was attempting to "make her city a safer place". Destiny further argues that Harris managing her police force in a manner that contributed to more kids going to school was "not the worst thing in the world". 42:10 Destiny explains why he's become increasingly sympathetic towards policy makers. Destiny provides the US intervening in foreign conflicts as an example. 44:23 Destiny provides a hypothetical where US interventionism may be justified. Destiny goes on to discuss the potential for influence vacuums if the US does not intervene in certain global conflicts. 46:45 Destiny discusses his evolving view with regards to US interventionism and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Destiny describes how he was once in support of abandoning the agreement, but now he feels the loss of various protections, and the bolstering of China on the world-stage as the US became more isolated, was not ideal. 50:42 Destiny discuses his disdain for anti-cop rhetoric, and the lack of consideration for "both sides" with regards to criminal issues. 51:16 Hasan joins the stream.

Destiny Confronts Hasan For Twitter Misinfo, Debate Breakdown

Approximately one hour into Destiny recounting of his grievances with Hasan's "You Don't Want Cop-Mala Harris" video, Hasan himself joins the stream.^[10] Upon joining the stream, Hasan asks Destiny what his issues were with the video. Destiny responds by offering to go through every one of his grievances, and Hasan agrees. Of note, Destiny did not have access to his typical headset/microphone setup, and was unable to raise his voice throughout the debate as he was away from home. This, in conjunction with Hasan's personal refusal to use a headset, resulted in several instances of Hasan inadvertently speaking over Destiny. While Destiny had several grievances prepared to discuss with Hasan, the pair only managed to discuss four topics:

Did Kamala force schools to report undocumented students to ICE?

Destiny begins the conversation by informing Hasan that he feels his video is extremely one-sided against Harris, and not fairly presented. He goes on to address the first claim in Hasan's video: Whether Harris supported a law that forced school to report undocumented felonious children over to ICE. While Destiny agrees with Hasan that supporting the policy was a poor choice on Harris's part(especially given the law's allowal for individuals to be deported based on charges), Destiny informs Hasan that schools did not truly have any involvement in this reporting of individuals to ICE. Upon Destiny's explanation of the lack of involvement by schools in the law, Hasan quickly agrees that schools were not responsible for reporting these children.

Nonetheless, Hasan maintains that undocumented misdemeanant school children being deported without being charged remains an issue, especially if schools are the ones reporting these children to the police. Hasan then walks back his prior claim, and argues that schools should bear some of the blame for reporting these children to the authorities if they commited a crime. Destiny asks Hasan if he is able to understand the distinction between schools cooperating with authorities versus referring children directly to ICE, to which Hasan counters that an officer planted at a school with the capability of reporting a misdemeanant children over to ICE is not functionally different than the school themselves reporting the children. Destiny asks if Hasan's solution would be to remove police officers from schools, Hasan answers in the affirmative, and Destiny attempts to move on to the next topic. Hasan takes issue with this, and the following exchange occurs:

Hasan: Why are you just laughing and saying we need to move on?
Destiny: Because that's just so fucking stupid, what do you mean? Do you just want to kick all police officers out of schools?
Hasan: What do you mean? What do I mean? Do fucking schools need to have cops everywhere?
Destiny: Some do, yeah! What the fuck kind of statement is that, of course some do!
Hasan: abu..uhh..WHAT? Why? Cops should not be in any schools! I feel like I've heard you debate people a million times over about how it's kinda fucked up that we have cops in schools to begin with...what the fuck?
Destiny: I feel like you went to a really nice school and you have no fucking idea like how dangerous some places...

Hasan: No I didn't. I went to school in Turkey and in really fucking shitty neighborhoods as well, we never had cops...It's mind boggling to me that Americans legitimately believe that we need police officers inside of schools.

— Hasan debating the necessity of cops in schools with Destiny

Throughout the conversation, Destiny posits several hypotheticals to Hasan(outlined below). In each hypothetical, an individual has the police phoned on them, and said individual would eventually be reported to ICE and subsequently deported. Following each hypothetical provided, Hasan's answer would involve some variation of removing police from said space, advising individuals to never call the police, or telling Destiny the hypothetical he provided is not comparable to the initial scenario involving school children.

Timestamp	Destiny's hypothetical	Hasan's response
25:49	If an undocumented child was arrested in a mall for stealing, and then subsequently reported to ICE, would the mall be the one responsible for child being reported to ICE?	Hasan argues that this example is incongruent given that malls are public, Destiny responds that Hasan has it backwards and that schools are public and malls are privately owned. Hasan maintains his position irregardless, and argues that having police officers in a mall is way more reasonable than having police officers in a school.
31:40	A homeowner sees two individuals standing outside their home. The homeowner feels nervous about these individuals, so the homeowner calls the police. The individuals turn out to be illegal immigrants, and are deported. Is the homeowner responsible for this deportation?	Hasan responds that the homeowner would be responsible. Destiny then asks Hasan if he believes people should never call the police, to which Hasan replies that people should almost never resort to calling the police. Hasan continues, and argues that Destiny's analogy is "terrible", as the homeowner is not associated with the strangers standing outside his home, unlike a school which would be responsible for the children that attend it. Destiny replies that he was attempting to explore the concept of complicity with Hasan rather than compare the two scenarios.
32:59	If a woman is raped by a hispanic person and calls the cops, is the women complicit in a deportation?	Hasan responds that the women would not be complicit, Destiny asks why, and Hasan responds that the women is being victimized by a crime and not a "random misdemeanor".
33:17	A women returning from a party starts walking home and is being followed by some people. The women gets nervous and calls the police, resulting in the two people following her to be arrested. These two people are illegal immigrants and end up being reported to ICE. Is that women playing a part in getting illegals deported? Should she not have done that?	Hasan responds that this is hurting his brain, and argues this hypothetical is incongruent with the initial scenario involving a school. Destiny informs Hasan that he's only positing these hypotheticals because Hasan said to never call the cops. Destiny concludes that Hasan doesn't feel truly feel this way, pointing to his hesitancy to respond to some of the hypotheticals. After a pause, Hasan argues that while the women would be somewhat complicit in the immigrant being deported, it would be more understandable than a school calling the police on a child.
36:07	Someone breaking into a shed in your backyard.	Call the cops.

Following the hypothetical involving a women returning from a party, Hasan goes on to state that he would never call the police if he was in any of the aforementioned scenarios, and would urge others to refrain from doing so as well. Destiny responds that this is among the most privileged arguments he has ever heard.

Hasan: I probably wouldn't [call the cops] and I would urge someone else to not do that as well, but it's more understandable and it doesn't really matter because under none of these circumstances are you under obligation of the person you are calling the cops on.
Destiny: You're giving me like one of the most privileged arguments I have ever heard in my entire life. You're literally telling me that if you're a women, and you're walking down the street, and you might be scared because people are following you, [you're saying that] it's pretty rude of you to call the cops, it's a pretty mean thing to call the cops. What if you have a person that lives in your neighborhood where there has been a lot of break-ins, what if you're somebody who has had their house broken into before and are worried that somebody is gonna do it. It's easy for you to say like "oh well you should never call the cops ever ever". I don't know if you've been in these situations, or you know people who have been in these situations, that's a pretty shitty thing to say to people that are maybe or actually fearing for stuff like that. Like I feel like that's really crazy like "oh you should just never ever call the cops ever."

Hasan: Why the fuck would you say it's a privileged argument? Dude ask the fucking people who live in poor neighborhood if they choose to call the cops in these circumstances or not okay? What are you talking about? Have you talked with a person who lives in a poor neighborhood? I'm confused right now. What? What?

— Hasan and Destiny debate the morality of calling the police.

Following further deliberation, Hasan asserts that most poor individuals share his position on cops, and further argues that police do not truly increase the security in neighborhoods they monitor. This results in two more hypotheticals from Destiny before a seemingly fatigued Hasan asks what the main point of the discussion was to begin with. Destiny informs Hasan: Schools don't refer people to ICE, the police do when one is charged with a crime. Hasan concedes that Kamala did not force schools to report undocumented students to ICE, and he made a mistake in his video.

Topic Timestamps
0:00 Hasan joins the stream. :10 Hasan asks what Destiny's issue was with his video. Destiny replies that following a three hour flight in which he viewed the video in it's entirety, he concluded that it was extremely one-sided and not fairly presented. 0:41 Following Destiny's offer to walk through the video with Hasan , Hasan replies that Destiny could simply give his exact grievances with the video to "tackle one-by-one". 1:01 Hasan summarizes his perspective on Kamala Harris, arguing she is over-prosecutorial and has repeatedly walked back statements made on the debate stage. 2:43 Destiny points to the first claim Hasan made in the video, that Kamala was forcing schools to refer undocumented students to immigrations and customs enforcement. Destiny informs Hasan that this claim was false, and was more concerning immigrants who were charged with crimes. 3:02 Hasan responds that the law Destiny is referring to would allow for undocumented workers who were protected via sanctuary cities to now be arrested. Destiny restates his claim, Hasan states he does not recall entirely what he said, and the two go over the exact timestamp the claim was made together. 4:35 Hasan informs Destiny that the majority of his points were gathered from a twitter thread containing things he already knew about. 5:23 Hasan and Destiny go to the point in the video where Hasan made his claim. 6:21 Destiny explains the goal of the law Hasan is referring to: Undocumented individuals who were charged with a crime would be referred to ICE, with no school involvement. Hasan eventually agrees that he made a mistake in the video when stating that schools aided in the deportation of students. 8:32 While Hasan concedes to making a mistake in the video, he maintains that Harris still supported the policy which still allowed students to be deported. 10:13 Hasan argues that school students were still being reported for misdemeanors without being charged for a crime. Destiny counters that Hasan wouldn't blame a school if cops were to come in and kill students. Hasan counters that the school would bear some of the blame as they were the ones who called the police. 12:16 Hasan argues that cooperating with authorities still places the school at blame, and informs Destiny he can't read DGG chat anymore without getting irritated. 13:48 Destiny argues that schools are supposed to cooperate with authorities. Hasan counters that sanctuary cities exist where schools are explicitly not permitted to cooperate with authorities. Destiny argues that while schools aren't typically involved with referring children over to ICE, they still generally cooperate with authorities. 15:40 Upon Hasan referring to misdemeanant children being reported to ICE, Destiny corrects Hasan and informs him that felonious children were in fact being reported. 15:59 Hasan argues that Destiny is bogging the conversation down in pedantics, and that they should be focusing on Harris lying about her perspective on the law. 16:53 Destiny asks Hasan once more if he understands the difference between schools reporting children to ICE versus reporting them to the police. Hasan acknowledges the difference and the conversation continues. 21:03 Destiny reiterates that the primary issue is Hasan statement implying schools are reporting children to ICE. Hasan argues that he followed this statement up with context immediately after saying it, Destiny informs Hasan this is irrelevant. 21:40 Hasan argues that a cop being stationed at a school is not functionally different than the schools themselves reporting the felonious children. Destiny asks if Hasan's solution would be to remove police officers from school, Hasan argues that would be a valid solution, and Destiny chooses to move on to the next topic. 24:04 Hasan argues that schools outside of the United States do not have police officers stationed at schools. Destiny counters that schools outside of the US don't tend to have school shooting, Hasan argues this is a recent phenomena, and Destiny responds "wait, when was Columbine?" 25:02 Hasan argues that the presence of an officer at a school is not conducive to a learning environment. 25:49 Destiny posits a hypothetical to Hasan: If an undocumented child was arrested in a mall for stealing, and then subsequently reported to ICE, would the mall be the one responsible for child being reported to ICE? Hasan argues that this example is incongruent given that malls are public, Destiny responds that Hasan has it backwards and that schools are public and malls are privately owned. Hasan maintains his position irregardless, and argues that having police officers in a mall is way more reasonable than having police officers in a school. 28:02 Hasan argues that the policy Harris supported is bad given that it allowed for children to be deported based off charges and not convictions, Destiny agrees but maintains that Hasan erroneously stated in the video that schools were responsible for the deportation of these children. 30:12 Destiny and Hasan discuss sanctuary cities. 31:40 Destiny posits a hypothetical to Hasan of an illegal immigrant being deported following a homeowner phoning the police on them. Hasan responds that the homeowner would be responsible, Destiny asks Hasan if people should never call the police, and Hasan responds in the affirmative. Hasan later calls the hypothetical terrible. 32:59 Destiny posits another hypothetical to Hasan, if a woman is raped by a hispanic person and calls the cops, is she complicit in a deportation? 34:53 Hasan argues that while the women would be somewhat complicit in the immigrant being deported, it would be more understandable than a school calling the police. Hasan goes on to argue that he would never call the police himself, and would urge others to refrain from doing so as well. Hasan further argues that the individual calling the police is somewhat responsible for the person they are calling the police on. 36:52 hasan argues that most people not in privileged positions share his lack of trust in the police. Hasan further argues that police do not truly increase the security in neighborhoods they monitor. 38:29 Destiny informs Hasan that it feels like his entire video is just Hasan saying hates cops. Hasan responds that his hatred of cops is irrelevant, to which Destiny counters that Hasan himself is throwing around words like "gestapo" and that Hasan's point throughout the video was how horrible police, and by extension Harris, are. 41:01 Following Destiny explaining how they got bogged down into the semantics of whether calling a police officer means you tacitally supports everything a police department does, Hasan asks what the main point of the discussion was. Destiny informs Hasan the main point of the topic: Schools don't refer people to ICE, the police do when one is charged with a crime.

Truancy Policy

Kamala Harris discussing her Truancy policy.^[11]

Destiny and Hasan spent quite some time discussing Harris' Truancy policy, and whether Hasan unfairly framed the facts/circumstances surrounding the policy. Throughout the debate, Hasan maintains the same points asserted in his initial video; He argues that Harris instituted a harsh, punitive, and dehumanizing truancy policy towards low income and single-parent families which involved locking up the mothers' of these truants. Hasan further contends that Harris overstepped the bounds of her authority when instituting this policy, and that a DA such as Harris should not have addressed the issue relating to truant children at all. Destiny routinely attempts to counter this talking point throughout the discussion, arguing that while he intuitively leans against the policy, Hasan's framing of the policy places Harris in an unnecessarily poor light. Destiny explains that Harris saw an issue in her district with children not attending school, and sought to alleviate the issue through the means she had available. Destiny goes on to explain that the best way to break the "cycle of criminality/poverty" would be to ensure children attended school, and argues that this issue would rightfully place the issue under Harris's purview with that in mind.

At one point during the discussion, Hasan argues that Destiny is blatantly taking a biased approach towards reviewing his content, and that such bias is tainting his perspective of the initial video. Destiny counters that Hasan has frequently shown his own biases towards the police/Harris, and points out that Hasan referred to the police as the "gestapo" in his video, and just stated he hates cops. Destiny continues, and asserts that several of Hasan's arguments were backed by invalid underlying facts(outlined here), and therefore any conclusions drawn from those pieces of information were also invalid. Destiny then points out that every time they attempt to move away from one fact in the conversation, Hasan reverts to some prior point(e.g. ICE and schools). Destiny goes on to assert that Hasan is arguing in a similar fashion to a race realist:

"This is like every argument I've ever had with a race realist who's like "well I think this thing", and it's like "well hold on like these underlying facts don't make sense". Then when you start to address some of the underlying facts, they keep retreating back to their higher level position ignoring all of the other underlying facts that were incorrect."

— Destiny comparing Hasan's argumentative style to that of a race-realist

Throughout the conversation, Destiny positied a myriad of hypotheticals to Hasan pertaining to whether the DA would be justified in stepping in to enforce their authority in scenarios where other institutions failed to do so, especially with regards to truancy and "state-violence". Hasan's response to these hypotheticals would more often than not be some variation of asserting the DA should do nothing, asserting that locking up mothers of truants is a poorer outcome than students failing to go to school, and arguing that other departments could handle the hypothetical issue presented without the use of state-violence(e.g. jailing individuals). To each of these rebuttals by Hasan, Destiny maintained that as a taxpayer, he has a vested interest in seeing these children go to school, as it decreases the likelihood that they become a burden on the system, and further lessens the likelihood they will be stuck in the cycle of poverty. Destiny further argues that the government utilizes state-violence frequently to get people to act in the best interest of the state, and questions why Hasan has undertaken a "dumb libertarian mindset" with regards to truancy in this case.

The exact scenarios Destiny and Hasan deliberated on with regards to state-violence are presented in the table below:

Timestamp	Scenario/hypothetical	Hasan's response
1:04:52	Destiny asks Hasan who he believes should be making kids to go to school.	Hasan responds that governments should use positive influences(e.g. better classrooms, basketball programs) to ensure kids stay in school. Destiny continues the hypothetical, and asks Hasan what should be done if the children continue to fail to go to school. Hasan retorts that Destiny has placed him in an "unrealistic corner", and reiterates his point that well-funded schools tend to see better children attendance rates.
1:07:31	Destiny restates his question regarding "who should make kids go to school", and if the state should force kids to go to school if they have lazy parents.	Hasan retorts that lazy parents should not have to force their kids to go to school in this "ridiculously created, hypothetical strawman."
1:12:27	Hasan proceeds to run through several hypotheticals wherein the DA could potentially enforce its authority to ensure some outcome is meant(e.g. locking up homeless people to prevent homelessness, or locking up drug addicts to prevent drug addiction)	Destiny responds that every example Hasan gave resulted in a poor outcome, while the example relating to parents of truants has shown to have a positive outcome. Hasan argues that individuals were robbed of their freedom at the choice of this "positive outcome", to which Destiny questions why Hasan is continuing to espouse libertarian talking points at him. Destiny explains that they're not talking about "freedom" but which policies could improve societies. Destiny continues, and argues that he likely would be in favor of "locking up drug users" if throughout the duration of their incarceration these individuals were provided treatment for their addiction. Hasan reiterates that the DA should "back off" and let other institutions tackle these issues.
1:16:13	Hasan asks Destiny if some repeat offending mothers of truants being sent to jail would upset him.	Destiny responds that under Harris's law, parents who made no efforts to send their children to school would eventually be jailed, and by that metric, he would be okay with those parents being sent to jail. Destiny further explains that as a taxpayer, he has a vested interest in seeing these children go to school, as it decreases the likelihood that they become a burden on the system and decreases the likelihood these individuals will be stuck in the cycle of poverty. Hasan retorts that having a parent at home is much more important thang going to school, to which Destiny responds that Hasan is incorrect.
1:19:40	If you're the DA and kids are starving to death, do you get CPS to take the kids?	Hasan responds that he would do nothing in this scenario, and allow other institutions to step in. Destiny argues that the children in Hasan's analogy would likely starve to death without the DA's assistance.
1:21:06	If you're the DA, and nobody else is dealing with the problem of kids starving to death. Should you send the police in to help the kids or do you let them starve to death?	Hasan responds that he would allow the children to starve.

Following further deliberation, Hasan and Destiny remain ever-contentious on the issue of Harris's truancy policy. While Destiny maintains that the policy was justified given the fact that schools lacked the funding to address the issue and Harris saw a way to alleviate it, Hasan maintained that Harris overstepped the bounds of her authority as a DA and should have left the issue alone. The topic concludes with Hasan arguing that Destiny is "overwhelming him with ridiculous hypotheticals", and Destiny responding that every hypothetical he has provided is directly analogous with the situation Harris faced with Truants.

Discussion Timestamps
42:21 Hasan and Destiny begin discussing Harris's truancy policy. Destiny begins by asking Hasan to elucidate his position. Hasan argues that Harris forced the state to ensure parents sent their children to school, and asserted that this is "awful" and indicative of Harris's perspective on how to use the law/the threat of state-sponsored violence. 43:17 Destiny asks Hasan what else he thinks Harris could have done to address the issue of children not attending school. Hasan responds that Harris could not have put the law in place. 43:28 Destiny posits a hypothetical to Hasan: If you're the DA, and you have a situation where you have a parent who refuses to send their child to school, should you leave it be or take steps to alleviate the situation? Hasan responds that the DA does not typically have much power in this regard, and a more progressive DA would not do anything about it. Hasan argues that the most action a DA should take in this situation is "use their power to vote". Hasan goes on to chide Harris for instituting a policy that "scared the shit out of mothers", and argues these individuals should not have been threatened with jail time. 44:44 Following Hasan pointing to an instance where a homeless mother of three truants was victimized by Harris's policy and threatened with jail time, Destiny responds that the end result of this scenario was the children returning to school and the mother receiving no charges. Destiny argues that this women wasn't truly a "victim" as Hasan described, and was better off following the policy. 45:06 Hasan asks if he believes Harris's policy was successful, Destiny responds in the affirmative as more children were going to school, and Hasan asks if Destiny would be content with a policy where parents were threatened at gunpoint to send their children to school. Hasan further chides Destiny for having a "ridiculous metric for success". 45:35 Hasan criticizes Harris(and by extension Destiny) for supporting a policy that allowed for states to "monopolize violence". Destiny argues that citizens should want the state to have a "monopoly on violence", as the alternative would be citizens murdering one another. 46:50 Hasan criticizes Destiny for arguing semantics regarding Harris's Truancy policy, to which Destiny responds that he is forced to do so given the unfair framing Hasan is presenting Harris's truancy policy. 47:35 Hasan argues that Harris's policy of "locking up mothers of truants" was an exercise in excessive force. Destiny argues that while he intuitively leans against the policy, Hasan's framing of the policy places Harris in an unnecessary poor light. Destiny explains that Harris saw an issue in her district with children not attending school, and sought to alleviate the issue through the means she had available. Destiny goes on to explain that the best way to break the "cycle of criminality" would be to ensure children attended school, and argues that this issue would rightfully place the issue under Harris's purview. 49:12 Hasan reasserts that Harris should not be looking to resolve issues relating to truants as a DA, and the method she chose to go about addressing traunts was excessive. Destiny explains that the law isn't as punitive as Hasan makes out, and informs him that punitive measures would only be undertaken against the truant's parents as a last resort. Destiny goes on to explain how Harris was attempting to address the potentiality for these truants to become criminals, by getting them to attend school. 50:43 Hasan reasserts that Harris should not be looking to resolve issues relating to truants as a DA. 51:33 Hasan argues that Harris stated in a video that she supports funding prisons, and finds the prospect of funding schools to be laughable. Destiny counters that Harris never said as much, that she supports funding schools, and one has to accept the fact that some level of funding for prisons is a necessity. 52:52 Destiny argues that Harris stated one has to address crimes in a community in some fashion, and voters would not feel safer by things like "building more schools over prisons". Destiny goes on to explain that this "desire to feel safer" is motivates voters quite a bit, and points to examples such as the patriot act and the election of Donald Trump. Hasan counters that we should not cater to voters fears when trying to resolve issues. 53:55 Hasan argues that Harris has always been anti-immigration, and assisted in policy that would remove sanctuary cities. Destiny counters that Harris has always been in support of immigrants, and points to her support of "Dreamers" and sanctuary status as a concept. Hasan responds that this is his primary point, and asserts that Harris has a tendency to "say one thing" and take an action counter-intuitive to that statement. 55:26 Hasan asserts that politifact fact checked most of the claims Hasan had made in the video. Destiny counters that Hasan's claims had little to do with what was fact-checked in his video and provides the previously debated example of Harris not using schools to said children to ICE but the police force. Hasan argues that Harris did in fact lie about this, and knew what the intended outcome was, Destiny agrees, and Hasan's states this was his primary point all along. Hasan restates that Harris would be a poor candidate because she's not consistent. 57:36 Destiny informs Hasan that the narrative he is pushing in the video is that Harris is incredibly anti-immigration, which Destiny argues is not true. Destiny then asks Hasan what he believes Harris's position on illegal immigrants is. Hasan replies that Harris is aesthetically pro-immigration in that she would only advocate for policies on stage but refrain from taking action when given the opportunity. Hasan elaborates this is a similar tactic former President Barack Obama took, and asserts this is why he personally hates the Democratic party. 59:37 Destiny explains to Hasan that he would take no issue with his statements regarding Harris if the underlying facts in his speech logically followed. Destiny explains that is the primary contention they are having right now. 1:00:12 Hasan attempts to backtrack to the previously settled point regarding ICE and schools. 1:00:48 Hasan reiterates that a DA should not be attempting to resolve issues regarding children going to school. Destiny takes issue with this and restates his point regarding why a DA would want want to nip the potential for truants to become future criminals in the bud. Destiny pointedly asks Hasan if a DA can do anything in this scenario, and Hasan argues they should not. Destiny then asks Hasan why he didn't just make a thirty minute video saying "all cops are bastards", to which Hasan responds "I have done that before, and I will do that again". 1:02:11 Hasan argues that Destiny may take a biased approach towards reviewing his content. Destiny responds that Hasan in fact has the "massive hate boner" given that he referred to the police as the "gestapo" in his video, and just stated he hates cops. Destiny reiterates that the underlying facts in Hasan's video are incorrect, and every time they attempt to move away from one fact in the conversation, Hasan brings it up again(e.g. ICE and schools). Destiny goes on to assert that Hasan is arguing in a similar fashion to a race realist:"This is like every argument i've ever had with a race realist, who's like "well I think this thing" and it's like "hold on, I think these underlying facts don't make sense". When you start to address the facts they keep retreating back to their higher level positions, ignoring all of the underlying facts were incorrect. That's what it feels like here. 1:03:00 Despite admitting to being incorrect earlier, Hasan argues that none of his underlying facts within the video were incorrect. Hasan responds that it is over-prosecutorial for Harris to use her powers as a DA to lock up parents of truants. Destiny responds that Hasan is once again unfairly framing Harris and her policy, and argues that the policy may genuinely be forcing "lazy parents" to ensure their children get to school. Hasan retorts that Destiny is beginning to sound like a reactionary. 1:03:40 Hasan argues that the policy is evidence that Harris is willing and able to use state-violence to threaten individuals to follow the law. Destiny retorts that we use state-violence to "get people to do everything", and Hasan doesn't get to disagree with that because he agrees with taxes. Destiny argues that this is a "dumb libertarian mindset" that Hasan has taken, and argues that "we always use state-violence to get people to act in the best interest of the state. Before Destiny can finish his statement, Hasan cuts him off, and Destiny proceeds to bury his head in his hands. 1:04:52 Destiny asks Hasan who he believes should be making kids to go to school. Hasan responds that governments should use positive influences(e.g. better classrooms, basketball programs) to ensure kids stay in school. Destiny continues the hypothetical, and asks Hasan what should be done if the children continue to fail to go to school. Hasan retorts that Destiny has placed him in an "unrealistic corner", and reiterates his point that well-funded schools tend to see better children attendance rates. 1:06:06 Hasan argues that Destiny is making an "ends justify the means" argument in an argument where Destiny agrees that the means are excessive, to which Destiny responds he is a consequentialist and always makes these kind of arguments. Before Destiny can continue his point, Hasan interrupts him once more, and Destiny states "holy shit dude you have not let me finish a single point". 1:07:31 Destiny restates his question regarding "who should make kids go to school", and if the state should force kids to go to school if they have lazy parents. Hasan retorts that lazy parents should not have to force their kids to go to school in this "ridiculously created, hypothetical strawman." 1:08:00 Destiny asks Hasan if the state should have the power to force kids to be vaccinated. Hasan responds in the affirmative, and Destiny asks why this would be okay but forcing kids to attend school would not be. Hasan explains that herd-immunity is important for the efficacy of vaccines, and argues that this should be mandated even at gunpoint if necessary. 1:08:50 Destiny questions why Hasan believes the state should enforce violence on an issue that would improve the outcomes on all of society(vaccines), why is it so ridiculous to think the state should also be invested and making sure that kids actually show up at school. Hasan retorts that children failing to get vaccinated is infinitely more harmful than children failing to show up to school, and criticizes Destiny for creating a "ridiculous hypothetical". Destiny responds that the "ridiculous hypothetical" Hasan is referring to is "literally the hypothetical that Kamala Harris advocated for working". After further deliberation, Hasan ultimately maintains his prior conclusion that the state should not force "lazy parents" to send their children to schools, and continues to critique Destiny's "ridiculous hypothetical". 1:10:52 Destiny explains that his general thoughts on the manner is that the state has a vested interest in child, and one of the best ways to break the cycles of poverty is education, which would mean the state should try to ensure more children get to school, even if it requires state violence. Hasan sarcastically suggests that the DA should be involved in every manner in this regard, and sarcastically suggests that the DA should continue to lock up mothers of truants. Hasan reiterates that the main concern should be funding these schools, Destiny responds that Harris can't do anything in that regard, to which Hasan maintains Harris should not do anything to alleviate this issue. 1:12:27 Hasan proceeds to run through several hypotheticals wherein the DA could potentially enforce its authority to ensure some outcome is meant(e.g. locking up homeless people to prevent homelessness, or locking up drug addicts to prevent drug addiction). Destiny responds that every example Hasan gave resulted in a poor outcome, while the example relating to parents of truants has shown to have a positive outcome. Hasan argues that individuals were robbed of their freedom at the choice of this "positive outcome", to which Destiny questions why Hasan is continuing to espouse libertarian talking points at him. Destiny explains that they're not talking about "freedom" but which policies could improve societies. Destiny continues, and argues that he likely would be in favor of "locking up drug users" if throughout the duration of their incarceration these individuals were provided treatment for their addiction. 1:15:25 Hasan reiterates that the DA should "back off" and let other institutions tackle certain issues. Destiny responds that the DA may be forced to step in when other institutions are failing to accomplish certain goals. 1:16:13 Hasan asks Destiny if some repeat offending mothers of truants being sent to jail would upset him. Destiny responds that under Harris's law, parents who made no efforts to send their children to school would eventually be jailed, and by that metric, he would be okay with those parents being sent to jail. Destiny further explains that as a taxpayer, he has a vested interest in seeing these children go to school, as it decreases the likelihood that they become a burden on the system and decreases the likelihood they will resort to a live of criminality. Hasan retorts that having a parent at home is much more important thang going to school, to which Destiny responds that Hasan is incorrect. 1:17:26 Hasan argues that lazy parents not sending their children to schools is not a real problem. Destiny then asks Hasan what the alternative explanations to the parent not contacting the school are. Hasan refuses to answer the question, and posits a question of his own to Destiny: "What other inefficiencies would you use state violence to improve?" Destiny responds that Paying taxes, ensuring kids go to school, vaccinations, and ensure children receive proper nutrition would be viable use-cases for state violence. Hasan counters that a mother in a food desert may not have enough money to provide for their children, and the DA stepping in to jail that parent would be overtly cruel. Destiny responds that in Hasan's analogy, the children would simply die because he believes the DA should not be intervening in these scenarios. 1:19:40 Destiny posits another hypothetical to Hasan: If you're the DA and kids are starving to death, do you get CPS to take the kids? Hasan responds that he would do nothing in this scenario, and allow other institutions to step in. Destiny replies that the children in this scenario would likely die as a result of Hasan's desire to prevent the DOJ from stepping in to assist. 1:20:59 Hasan argues that Destiny is sounding like a "tankie" with his authoritarian perspective. 1:23:14 Hasan argues that Destiny is "overwhelming him with ridiculous hypotheticals", and wishes to move on from the topic. Destiny responds that every hypothetical he has posited is directly analogous to the situation Harris faced with truants.

Did Kamala Harris prosecute fairly?

Steve Mnuchin, the previous owner of OneWest Bank, whom Hasan claims was involved in a quid pro quo with Kamala Harris.

During the discussion, Destiny and Hasan briefly discussed the "fairness" of Kamala Harris as a prosecutor. Hasan's argument primarily centered around a perceived quid pro quo between Steve Mnuchin and Kamala Harris. Hasan alleges that Harris refrained from prosecuting Mnuchin and his bank, OneWest, in return for campaign donations. After giving Hasan the opportunity to elucidate on this position, Destiny argues that Hasan's assertion is unfounded and a warped retelling of the true events which transpired. Destiny goes on to explain that Harris's failure to prosecute Mnuchin stemmed from a lack of legal jurisdiction to investigate federally chartered banks like OneWest. Furthermore, Destiny argues the donation Hasan is referring to was for a nominal amount of $2,000, and was given five years after the OneWest prosecution. Moreover, Destiny points out that Harris voted against the confirmation of Mnuchin as United States secretary of the treasury, lending even less credence to any possibility of a quid pro quo. Following this explanation, Hasan replies by denying the facts as laid out by Destiny:

Destiny:Tera Bradshaw said state attorney generals have no jurisdiction to investigate federally chartered Banks like Onewest, and that Banks like Onewest are regulated exclusively by the federal authorities. When one West pointed that out to the California Attorney General's office, they withdrew their subpoena. Onewest did provide some information to the Attorney General's office voluntarily, and they did not pursue the matter further...A former senior lawyer in the California Attorney General's office told Politico that staff were divided about the strength of the case, there were indicia of violations, no doubt, but whether we could prove those in court was the question... and as you said Kamela Harris voted against the confirmation of this guy for the treasury thing or whatever. So I don't understand where you're getting this idea that there was like some massive fuck up of her where she just decided not to prosecute because she block she fucking loves the big Banks or whatever. I don't see that anywhere, I didn't I could not find it.
Hasan: She never talked about why she decided not to prosecute or why the decision was made... She didn't even fucking allude to the fact that this had happened under her watch that she refused to prosecute. Also what you said about federal mandate is completely incorrect... The District Attorneys absolutely have the power when to prosecute when the victims are in their state.

Destiny: Okay, it could just be that Politico is completely posting false information without correcting it then? I'm gonna side with Politico, I haven't looked into that. That maybe they just completely and totally lied about this, and Kamala Harris and the entire DA office was so stupid they didn't know they got bamboozled.

— Destiny reads off the facts surrounding Harris's lack of prosecution against Mnuchin. Hasan replies by denying these facts.

Discussion Timestamps
1:23:45 Destiny brings up Hasan's criticisms of Harris failing to prosecute Steve Mnuchin. Hasan responds that Kamala's failure to prosecute Steve Mnuchin is indicative of her bias towards big corporations and "defending those in positions of power". Hasan continues, and argues that this shows she will not be tough on wall street crime. Hasan concludes that despite the fact that Harris voted no for Mnuchin's treasury seat, she still received donations towards her campaign from Mnuchin, which indicates she may be corrupt. 1:25:24 Destiny asks Hasan to explain to him why Harris didn't push for charges against Mnuchin. Hasan hesitantly responds that Harris was not interested in pursuing "widespread misconduct", Destiny questions why, and Hasan chides Destiny for his questioning. 1:26:31 Hasan contends that Harris may have been too busy "forcibly sending children to school, threatening to lock up mothers", instead of pressing charges. 1:26:53 Destiny reads through the underlying facts surrounding Harris's decision not to prosecute Mnuchin. Upon reading the facts, Destiny explains that Kamala had no jurisdiction to prosecute Mnuchin's firm, and it wasn't a "massive fuck up" as Hasan suggested. Hasan responds that Harris never talked about why she decided not to prosecute, and that Harris should have had the power to prosecute Mnuchin's firm. Destiny posets that it's possible Politico is posting completely false information, but he will remain on the side of the facts he just read from the website. 1:28:58 Hasan responds that he will look into the issue again, but argues there were thousands of pieces of misconduct Harris could have sought to prosecute, and many internal memos from Harris's team regarding their desire to prosecute. Destiny responds that he tried to find evidence of this, and only found one Intercept report at the center of all these facts. Destiny further argue that the report did not even contact Harris's team for comment, and may not be a valid source. 1:31:29 Hasan discusses Harris's receival of donations from Donald Trump and Mnuchin. Hasan argues that this is indicative of a far-right favor/leaning.

Do Kamala Harris's donors make her untrustworthy?

Following the previous topic reaching an unproductive conclusion, Hasan and Destiny spend the remainder of the call deliberating whether Harris's donors make her untrustworthy. Hasan's argument primarily centered around the fact that the majority of Harris's donors were big corporations, and points to this as evidence that Harris has no interest in "charging people in power". Despite Destiny arguing that this is likely the case for the majority of Democratic candidates, Hasan argues that this is precisely why he hates the Democratic party, and that Harris represents a continuation of "business as usual politics". Destiny counters this, arguing that Bernie Sanders , a candidate whom Hasan supports, also receives a significant amounts from large donors. Despite Destiny presenting data showing similarities in donation structures between Harris and Sanders, Hasan continues to argue that Harris's donor-makeup points to an issue of corporate influence in politics. Much of the topic was spent with the two silently mulling over donation statistics of the two candidates, and ended with both Destiny and Hasan agreeing to revisit the topic at a later date(interspruced between the two berating one another).

Timestamps
1:31:37 Hasan argues that Harris has received a "fuckload" of donations from corporations throughout her entire career. Hasan explains that the average of Harris's small donors was $200, and even received money from Mnuchin. Destiny counters that Hasan is muddying the waters, and is once again arguing like a race realist. 1:32:23 Destiny questions how Hasan can believe a $2,000 donation 5 years following the OneWest prosecution is evidence of any corruption on Harris's part. Hasan counters that the majority of Harris's donors are corporations, and argues this lends credence to the argument that she has a vested interest in not charging people in power. Destiny then asks how this is any different than the breakdown of donations other Democratic candidates receive, to which Hasan responds this is why he hates the Democratic party. Destiny replies that Hasan is not actually critiquing Kamala Harris but critiquing politics in general, to which Hasan reiterates that Harris represents "business as usual politics". 1:33:28 Hasan once again takes issue with Destiny's framing of his arguments as similar to that of a race-realist. Destiny explains that because he is unsure whether Harris truly receives the majority of her donations from corporations. 1:37:21 Hasan argues that Kamala Harris is a black version of Hillary Clinton, to which Destiny counters that Hasan is arguing like a race realist once more and trying to "paint everything with a broad brush" while they were discussing the finer facts. Destiny goes on to argue that Hasan's argument that Harris is a black version of Hillary clinton just because they both received money from corporations is disingenuous. 1:38:49 Hasan reads off an article breaking down the sources of Harris's campaign donations. More than 1/3 of her donations came from individuals donating $200 or less, while the rest were provided by donors who paid more than $200. 1:40:03 Hasan returns from a bathroom break, and relays the following fact to Destiny: Kamala Harris has raised a total of $6.92 million, the number of contributions from individuals who gave her $200 or more is 7,000. Hasan then reads off the top contributors to her campaign including Paul Weiss($52k), UC($51k), Bringham($32k), AT&T($29k) and Google($20k). Hasan argues this donation makeup all points to the fact that Kamala Harris is not interested in prosecuting people in power. 1:41:45 Destiny replies by reading off Bernie Sanders's top campaign contributors from 1989 to 2020: Alphabet($400k), UC($360k), Microsoft($170k), Apple($143k). Destiny asks Hasan if he believes that these donations prove that Bernie is a massive corporatist as well. Hasan replies in the affirmative. 1:42:31 Hasan argues that Destiny has posited an unfair comparison by bringing up Bernie Sanders, and is arguably using a "race-realist tactic" by attempting to compare the two. Destiny replies that he only brought up Bernie Sanders because Hasan was attempting to paint a "broad narrative" when they were discussing specific details. Destiny then asks Hasan what the acceptable average donation for a Democratic candidate not to be a sellout is. hasan replies what's most important is average donos from individuals and a candidate's track record. 1:44:05 Hasan attempts to harken back to the broader scope of the conversation, and Destiny cuts him off and accuses him of attempting to utilize a "race-realism tactic" once more. 1:45:33 Destiny reads off an LA times quote pertaining to Harris advocating on behalf of her constituents against corporate interests. Destiny goes on to mention that Harris was the "sole-author" of the bill that made illegal the actions undertaken by Mnuchin. 1:47:20 Despite Destiny's sources, Hasan maintains that Harris has failed to prosecute against corporate interest and once again argues that Harris had jurisdiction to prosecute Mnuchin. A bewildered Destiny asks how Hasan can believe Harris's entire office lied about being unable to prosecute, to which Hasan responds that he is unsure why this fact isn't being discussed more. 1:49:29 Destiny asks hasan what his initial claim regarding Harris's donation breakdown was. Hasan responds that he believes 2/3 of Harris's donation come from donations greater than $200. Destiny replies that Bernie Sanders has less than 1/3 of his donations at less than $200. Hasan then revises his primary point to be that what's most important is a candidate's track record not their donation sources. Destiny calls Hasan out for this change in positions, and Hasan responds by asking to view the source Destiny claims to have gleaned the Bernie Sanders donation breakdown from. 1:52:34 Hasan points out that Bernie Sanders has raised $18 million from individuals donations averaging $18. Destiny questions why Hasan would bring this up if he said donation spread is irrelevant and track record of a candidate is more important. To which Hasan maintains that track record is important and the donation spread is interesting to point out. 1:53:55 Destiny explains to Hasan the difference between money raised by a candidate versus the total number of contributions to a candidate. Following this, Destiny explains why the amounts Hasan is reading off may be irrelevant to their discussion. 1:55:45 Destiny and Hasan spend some time tracking down donation statistics for Harris and Sanders. 1:56:58 Destiny points out that Kamala's average campaign donation was $39, while Bernie's was $20. Destiny eventually finds that 98% of Harris's donation are for $100 or less, while Bernie's was 99%. Upon further evaluation, Destiny concludes that the donation-makeup of Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders is not dissimilar. 1:59:35 Hasan questions how Harris's average donation amount can be so much higher than Bernie's. Destiny argues these averages aren't too far off, and reiterates that Harris has an average donation of $39, while Bernie has an average donation of $20. 2:01:52 Destiny and Hasan continue silently mulling over donation statistics of Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris. 2:03:21 Hasan reads off the campaign donation breakdowns for Harris. Hasan points out that 58% of her donations come from large individual contributors, while large individual donations for Sanders make up 14% of his total. Destiny replies that they should be looking at the small individual contributions breakdown, and points out that 34% of Harris's donations come from small contributions while Sanders's small contributions make up 73%. Before Destiny can elaborate how these numbers could potentially be massively skewed by exorbitantly large individual contributors, Hasan questions why Destiny is going down this route, and accuses him of being bad faith throughout this debate. 2:06:51 Destiny breaks down how Harris's donations could have potentially been skewed: If 1,000 people donated $4 to Harris, and 150 people donated $100, these numbers don't necessarily mean that someone has a wider support from a smaller base. Destiny attempts to harken this back to their previous disagreement, but is interrupted by Hasan once more arguing that Destiny is positing a conspiracy of billionaires making several donations over $200. Destiny replies that this is no conspiracy but basic math, and reiterates his example relating to the potentiality for donations to be skewed. Hasan points out that Harris has raised $4 million from small individual contributors, while Sanders has raised $15 million from small individual contributors, and asks Destiny what the difference is here. Destiny counters that this lends credence to the fact that both individual shave many small individual contributors, and reiterates that both candidates have similar donation amount averages. 2:11:23 Destiny argues that the amount of donations to a candidate over $200 is not indicative of the individuals donating to them being wealthy or not, which he maintains was Hasan's initial argument. Destiny reiterates that saying Harris receives most of her money from wealthy people doesn't say that most of the people donating to her are wealthy. Hasan replies that he is primarily concerned with the fact that the bulk of the money Harris received was from large donors, and chides Destiny for "being all over the place". Destiny replies that he doesn't think it matters where the donors come from, and reemphasizes his disdain for Hasan's initial statement being that most of Harris's donors were wealthy individuals. 2:15:32 Hasan harkens back to Destiny's initial point, and Destiny admits he forgot what it was. Destiny agrees to dig into the numbers at a later time. 2:16:48 Hasan sets up and knocks down an argument Destiny had not made relating to "shadow billionaire donators" to Bernie Sanders. Destiny decides to move on from this "cancer" topic.

Conclusion

Following Hasan informing Destiny that he's tired and hasn't eaten yet, Destiny agrees to cut the conversation short. Before ending the call, Destiny explains why he wanted to have this discussion:

I love you very much, we don't have to go through this whole thing but like initially...like a few weeks ago we got into a big argument because I said that I felt like people that hardcore pull for Bernie will pull shit way the fuck out of their ass to shit all over other Democratic candidates. I got a lot of heat from your community, and my community in regards to that, because apparently you look into people like Biden way more than I do, and I have no business saying something like that when i’ve only looked into a few points of yours that I just disagreed with. So when this Kamala Harris video came out, I decided to spend my three-hour flight looking at every single point of the video and most of these have been like pretty grossly misrepresented on like at least one point. So I mean like I guess that's just my frustration that there's like 35 minutes of like these totally random assertions.

— Destiny on why he wanted to have this discussion

Hasan asserts that Destiny is engaging in some of the most "insane fucking semantic arguments", is just upset because his community believes he knows what he's talking about, chides Destiny for accusing him of making arguments analogous to race-realists, and argues that this entire conversation was an exercise in exhausting him with hypotheticals. Destiny points out that Hasan in fact has been making the "insane statements", and points to earlier in the conversation when Hasan stated that a women worried about two illegal immigrants following her into an alleyway would be partially responsible for these individual's deportation. Hasan denies ever saying as much, and explains that while the women would be justified in doing so, he would never call the cops if he was in such a scenario.

Hasan proceeds to accuse Destiny of gaslighting, strawmanning, and creating insane hypotheticals throughout the conversation. Destiny replies that Hasan is being weaselly, and argues Hasan is giving a Trainwrecks answer by attempting to discuss what he would do in the hypothetical instead of actually addressing the scenario. Hasan replies he "hates this shit", discusses his disdain towards accusations of Moral Luck from Destiny's community, laments the tendency of Destiny's community to accuse him of cutting Destiny off during conversations, and likens talking to Destiny like trying to speak with Ben Shapiro . Upon the calls conclusion, Destiny offers to do a second debate on the subject should Hasan wish, and discuss any disingenuous debate tactics he feels were used against him during this conversation.

Destiny discusses the debate on his stream, reacts to Hasan's Pete Buttigieg video

Shortly following the conclusion of Hasan's stream, Destiny begins his own. During his stream, Destiny goes over the debate, and expresses his annoyance with Hasan's behavior both during and after the debate. Destiny argues that he was able to find primary sources proving nearly every claim asserted by Hasan to be false, while Hasan had virtually no sources outside of a twitter thread on Harris. Destiny further remarks that the "Bernie or bust" mentality adopted by Hasan and his ilk, has more less become a movement dedicated to "relentlessly shitting on" other Democratic candidates instead of championing the ideals of Senator Sanders. Destiny goes on to maintain that he treated Hasan with "kid gloves" during the debate, and finds Hasan's accusation towards him of using disingenuous debate tactics(typically reserved for right-leaning individuals) during their debate to be unfounded, and insulting to the greater body of his work over the past few years.

Following his discussion on the debate, Destiny decides to review Hasan's video on potential Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg . Destiny took issue with several points made by Hasan during the video, primarily his framing of Buttigieg not having his constituents best interests at heart, and a disingenuous characterization of a Buttigieg quote relating to the affordability of college. Outlined in the table below:

Timestamp	Hasan's position	Destiny's response
26:36	Hasan contends that one does not have to be a "brain-genius" to rise high in politics(playing a video of Donald Trump as an example).	Destiny responds that while he is somewhat empathetic with Hasan's position, he intuitively feels Hasan's opinion comes off as very unacademic/unintellectual.
27:17	Hasan argues that someone as smart as Buttigieg may not have their constituents best interests at heart.	Destiny questions how Hasan came to this conclusion, arguing that Hasan framed this position very strangely.
27:58	Hasan uses the phrase "booty-heads" in reference to individuals who support Buttigeig.	Destiny points to the hypocrisy of Hasan/his community of using this nickname, and points to the criticism he received for referring to Hasan as a "Bernie bro."
28:49	A quote from Buittigieg appears on screen, and Hasan mentions that Buittigieg considers free college to be an "elitist" position.	Destiny explains that the quote was placed disingenuously in the video in order to frame Buttigieg as being against means to aid individuals in attending college, when in actuality Buttigieg has a track record of supporting more moderate means of providing assistance to low-income individuals struggling to attend college. Destiny goes on to argue that ensuring the middle/upper class attend college for free is a privileged position, and that Buttigie's stance towards scaling the affordability of college with income makes the most sense.
38:52	Hasan criticizes Buttigieg's "I want to be president" book.	Destiny counters that Sanders, a candidate whom Hasan supports, similarly earned most of his money writing a book about running for president

While Destiny maintains that Hasan himself is not homophobic, he argues that Hasan may have inadvertently engaged in homophobia at several points throughout the video. During the video, Hasan lables fans of Buttigieg as "booty-heads", and repeatedly referred to Buttigieg himself as "booty-judge". Destiny took issue with the "booty-head" nickname, as he had recently received criticism from both Hasan and his community for referring to Hasan as a "Bernie bro." Destiny would go on to take even more umbrage with Hasan's nickname for the homosexual candidate, arguing it to be an empowerment of homophobic rhetoric. He goes on to claim that if the Right began to weaponize the term, the Left would lose the moral authority to challenge them on it.

Before Destiny can end his stream, a donation plays asking him to mend the bridge with Hasan and hang out with him in real life. Destiny rejects this notion, arguing that Hasan had essentially derided his entire career, consistently ad-hommed him, and argued like a "piece of shit"/right-winger throughout the debate.^[33]

He explains that the quote was placed disingenuously in the video in order to frame Buttigieg as being against free college, when in actuality Buttigieg has a track record of supporting more moderate means of providing assistance to low-income individuals struggling to attend college. 31:51 Destiny maintains that Buttigieg's posiiton is very reasonable, especially in the broader scope of progressive policy. He argues this is a far-cry from Hasan's initial position, framing Buttigieg as wanting to guard against funding individuals attending college affordably. 33:56 A chatter argues that the taxation disproportionally affects people of higher income. Destiny responds that a family earning less than $70,000 a year should not have their taxes going to programs that allow children of millionaires to attend college for free. 38:52 Hasan criticizes Buttigieg's "I want to be president" book. Destiny takes issue with this, arguing that Sanders earned most of his money writing a book about running for president. 41:40 Hasan refers to Buttigeig as "butt-judge" 42:32 Destiny finishes his review of the the video. 43:47 A chatter asks if Hasan's use of the word "booty-judge" is homophobic. While he was initially uncertain, Upon finding out that Buttigieg is gay, Destiny was more certain that the nickname was homophobic. He argues that while he doesn't think Hasan is homophobic, that the effect of calling him "booty-judge" can unintentionally empower homophobia. Destiny went on to assert that if the Right start weaponizing the term, the Left wouldn't be able to call them out on it. 45:51 Destiny argues that any defense for the word "booty-judge" would be similar to one employed by a crypto-fascist. 47:56 Destiny plays a video in order to showcase the hypocrisy being conveyed by supporters of Hasan's nickname for Buttigieg. 51:44 Destiny explains why the nickname is homophobic. 1:04:18 Destiny reads off several homophobic use-cases of the nickname. 1:04:50 Destiny laments his time as a useful idiot for the right, and argues a mirror of that is occurring since his time advocating for left-leaning positions. 1:06:42 Destiny responds to a reddit comment from Hasan. 1:07:41 A donation plays telling Destiny that he needs to hang out with hasan in real life, and be friendly with him to get past this drama.

Hasan submits a post to r/destiny, Destiny replies in thread

Hasan's thread

On July 9th, 2019, two hours following the conclusion of Destiny's stream, Hasan enters dgg chat and shares a reddit post he had submitted to r/Destiny.^[34] ^[35]^[36] In the post, Hasan maintains several of the points asserted in his initial debate with Destiny and harkens back to an earlier debate involving his alleged desire to abstain from voting in the next election. Hasan claims to have never said he would refrain from voting for Biden, and denies any accusations of being a "Bernie or Buster". Hasan criticizes Destiny for accusing him of being an accelerationist/privileged, and argues he was simply "memeing" when he initially gave the statement. Hasan goes on to argue that a second term for Trump would be damaging for his personal future as an "anchor baby" and to his "muslim family living in Turkey" with a "pending war with Iran" on the horizon. Hasan concludes this section by stating "it's [just] the primaries, well cross that bridge on who i'll vote for over trump when we get there".

In the remainder of the post, Hasan goes on to defend his stance on the policy supported by Harris, arguing that it allowed schools to report children to the police, leading to their eventual deportation. Hasan then laments Destiny's use of "rape analogies" during their discussion, and accuses Destiny of attempting to dishonestly test his moral system by utilizing such tactics. Hasan concludes the post by requesting for Destiny to deplatform him if he truly feels he engaged in bad faith or gross misrepresentations of reality. Alternatively, Hasan suggests that Destiny should acknowledge he spent too much time on semantics during their discussion, concede to acting in bad faith, and admit to overwhelming him with rhetoric.

Reddit thread text. 1995 points, 85% upvoted

Listen up dggers and redditors. I've been straight up malding for the past 24 hours over the posts on here. I geniunely cannot tell if people just take memes/ shit that destiny kinna tosses out in debates and runs wild with them as gods honest truth or if they're just instigation, or maybe the community actually thinks im a moron.

EX 1- destiny in the emmia debate claims i said i'm not voting for joe biden in my larry elder debate. I say i never said that, (i said idk if i can get myself to vote for him but if he wins i might abstain and live in the mountains as an anarcho primitivist - which is obviously a meme but whatever) we move on - but the community now continues with this narrative, and now people legitimately think i'm an accelerationist (both definitionally and factually incorrect here) and privileged (trump having a second term is more damaging for my future as an anchor baby, muslim family living in turkey with a pending war with iran) and am bernie or bust (i am not). I only feel this strongly about joe biden. Also it's the primaries, well cross that bridge on who i'll vote for over trump when we get there.

Secondly, there were numerous points of contention in our debate ln, here's the first one which many people completely sided with destiny on:

Functionally the policy harris supported resulted in schools referrals to police leading to them being automatically referred to ICE, like that's the exact consequence of the policy. Saying that there's one step in between the two is additional context i should've provided but this does not absolve kamala of the responsibility of her actions. as a consequentialist destiny should agree with me on this. Kamala Harris's supported a decision that literally led kids getting deported because resource officers at schools now cooperated with ICE. insanity.

Destiny can try to make it seem like this was just felonies (it wasn't) or that my framing was dishonest or whatever but to think this takes away from the main point that kids literally got yeeted from schools for misdemeanors that they never even got convicted of cus of actions kamala supported then lied about not knowing about is mind boggling.

schools could have not cooperated, but that's not the point is it? the rule change forced them to cooperate as destiny mentioned numerous times. this is the rule change that kamala supported.

bold here's some additional context which destiny kept brushing off so you understand the consequences of this policy and why it's not the same as someone calling the cops on another person who is about to rape them

https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/11/politics/kfile-kamala-harris-undocumented-juveniles/index.html Multiple juveniles faced deportation over relatively minor crimes: in one instance reported by the Times, a 14-year-old who had been in the United States since he was 2 was handed over to ICE after he took a BB gun to school to show off to friends. In another instance, a 13-year-old and his family faced deportation after he punched another boy at school and stole 46 cents.

Kamala Harris supported the Newsom veto that threw due process rights of migrant juveniles in schools where the institutions that are supposed to protect these kids, instead cooperated with federal authorities over potential unconvicted misdemeanors. And you all let destiny get away with making potential rape analogies of women walking home alone at night as though it was an honest attempt at testing my moral system. but keep focusing on ACAB memes or whatever you think I believe about NEVER calling the cops under any circumstance or whatever.

I guess I expected more from the logicbro battalion. since even Kant who was definitely the least morally lucky person who ever existed assumed that black people were inferior beings, i guess one can be morally consistent and still be completely wrong on the facts of a situation so I urge you 4 or 5 people who read to the bottom of this post to think a bit more critically when destiny and i engage in a debate and i look like an exhausted adhd andy who goes on long tangents and seems defeated.

having said all this, destiny should literally deplatfrom me if he honestly thinks that i'm engaging in bad faith and gross misrepresentations of reality. or admit that he spends time on semantics which he claimed was a gigantic difference when the main point still stands that kamala supported a policy that took away the due process rights of kids and then successfully overwhelm me with rhetoric.

oh btw destiny is wrong on the due process of immigrants as well (in immigration court) they do have due process when dealing with their deportations, but not on their misdemeanors charges, because of the law that kamala supported.

truancy memes just for fun:

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1049731509347861?journalCode=rswa "The early phases of the intervention, such as letters to parents, demonstrated the greatest effect, whereas, latter interventions, such as social service referrals and visits by law enforcement had little additional effect. Jones et al"

Destiny's comment

Approximately thirty minutes after Hasan submitted his post, Destiny responds in the same thread.^[37] In his reply, Destiny quotes several portions of Hasan's thread and issues individual responses to specific sections. Destiny argues that Hasan was creating an "unbelievably" charitable interpretation of his desire to abstain from voting for Biden and asserted that Hasan's recent work was indistinguishable from that of a "Bernie or Buster." He further critiques Hasan's attempt to draw parallels between his experience as a Muslim and the experiences of individuals who would be genuinely harmed by a Trump presidency, such as illegal immigrants or women needing abortions. He contends that Hasan is very "far removed from reality" in his fear of Trump deporting "anchor babies" such as himself.

Destiny also addresses Hasan's statements regarding Harris's policy, reiterating the same points he made during their debate. He clarifies that while Hasan claims Harris's policy led to schools referring undocumented children to ICE, the reality was that Harris's policy applied to undocumented immigrants charged with a crime. Regarding Hasan's complaints about the rape analogies used in the debate, Destiny explains that he employed such tactics because Hasan had argued one should never call the police. Destiny elaborates that he presented multiple scenarios to Hasan to discern his stance, only to receive a "weasel" response in the form of Hasan claiming he "personally wouldn't do so" in a given scenario. Finally, in response to Hasan's request for Destiny to deplatform him/issue an apology, Destiny accuses Hasan of functioning as a propaganda arm pushing "Bernie or bust" memes while simultaneously claiming to not do so. He then compares Hasan's dismissal of his arguments as "semantics" to tactics used by right-wing individuals he had previously debated.

Okay I'll try taking a shot at this via text.

>EX 1- destiny in the emmia debate claims i said i'm not voting for joe biden in my larry elder debate. I say i never said that, (i said idk if i can get myself to vote for him but if he wins i might abstain and live in the mountains as an anarcho primitivist - which is a literal meme but whatever) we move on

This is an unbelievably charitable interpretation of what you said, especially coming off the propaganda pieces you've just recently been involved in regarding Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg. "I didn't say I wouldn't vote for Biden, I just said I would move and live in the mountains lol!" on a televised TV segment where people could be watching and not have any understanding of any of your actual positions. It's insanely easy to look at this as an accelerationist "Bernie or bust" position, and it's insane to think that no one could read it as such.

>privileged (trump having a second term is more damaging for my future as an anchor baby, muslim family living in turkey with a pending war with iran)

This is almost as hilarious as saying that I'm worried about my future in America being half-Cuban. There are women who are having legislation passed against them AS WE SPEAK in America threatening their right to bodily autonomy; there are people being deported by ICE right now; there are children living in borderline concentration camps on the border who are separated from their families. To try and draw a parallel or pretend like you're "at risk" in any way compared to these people is comical, you must know this. Do you think it's reasonable that Trump is honestly going to deport every single anchor baby in the US or something? This is so far removed from reality it's unbelievable you would posit this as a supporting point for you "being afraid" of Trump.

>am bernie or bust (i am not). I only feel this strongly about joe biden

I haven't looked into how you treat all candidates yet, but from what I've seen of your stance on Biden, Buttigieg and Harris so far is 100% identical to what I'd expect to see from someone who is "Bernie or Bust". Rather than stating issues with most candidates you seem to make it out that every other candidate is this horrible/evil/uncaring person, and the only reasonable alternative is Bernie (or maybe Warren? wouldn't surprise me to see attacks pieces on her soon, too, tbh).

>Functionally the policy harris supported resulted in schools referrals to police leading to them being automatically referred to ICE, like that's the exact consequence of the policy. Saying that there's one step in between the two is additional context i should've provided but this does not absolve kamala of the responsibility of her actions. as a consequentialist destiny should agree with me on this. Kamala Harris's supported a decision that literally led kids getting deported because resource officers at schools now cooperated with ICE. insanity.

I'm not getting into this again, I'll just lay out the two different stances.

You said: Kamala Harris adopted a policy that made it so schools were referring undocumented children over to ICE.

The reality: Kamala Harris adopted a policy that made it so undocumented immigrants charged with a crime were handed over to ICE.

These two policies are worlds apart, even if the later might sometimes lead to the former. I can't be anymore clear on this distinction, it seems pretty obvious to me.

>And you all let destiny get away with making potential rape analogies of women walking home alone at night as though it was an honest attempt at testing my moral system.

I was making that analogy because you made the claim that you should never call the police. You even do it slightly above in this very post!!

>schools could have not cooperated, but that's not the point is it?

When you brought up schools "not cooperating" I was curious if you thought that schools (or people in general) should never call the police, as this is an insanely bold assertion. But when we tested that hypothesis you didn't care to explore it because you realized your position was absurd; you had no desire to justify this position because you didn't care if it was reasonable or not, you were just focused on the political agenda behind resisting ICE/helping undocumented immigrants. Whether or not the arguments made sense never mattered.

>but keep focusing on ACAB memes or whatever you think I believe about NEVER calling the cops under any circumstance or whatever.

One thing I've learned when it comes to debating people is the value of asking them specific questions to force them to spell out or defend a position. I specifically presented you with multiple scenarios to get your position on them and every single time you reaffirmed some level of "you are responsible for immigrants getting deported if you call the police", which leads pretty easily into "you should never call the cops". To both illustrate your privilege and the absurdity of this position, I specifically asked you about a woman walking alone in an alley who felt unsafe being approached by two men, and you weaseled your way out of responding to this by saying "I wouldn't call the cops, but that's just me!!!!" Like, no fucking shit, dude, you're a huge shredded dude, what an incredibly fucking stupid response to this hypothetical. Can you imagine a dudebro giving this answer in ANY other context???

>having said all this, destiny should literally deplatfrom me if he honestly thinks that i'm engaging in bad faith and gross misrepresentations of reality. or admit that he spends time on semantics which he claimed was a gigantic difference when the main point still stands that kamala supported a policy that took away the due process rights of kids and then successfully overwhelm me with rhetoric.

I mean I'd hope that with some persuasion your arguments can become better, but right now you're essentially just functioning as a propaganda arm that's pushing "Bernie or bust" memes while simultaneously claiming to not do so. I don't agree that you can just hand-wave all of my arguments away by screeching "SEMANTICS" or "BEN SHAPIRO" or "STRAWMAN" the same way so many conservatives have done before you.

>oh btw destiny is wrong on the due process of immigrants as well (in immigration court) they do have due process when dealing with their deportations, but not on their misdemeanors charges, because of the law that kamala supported.

We weren't talking about due process on their charges in the US, we're talking about due process of them being deported. Kamala didn't remove 'due process' from the immigrants by having them referred to Ice, they would still have their same due process in contesting deportation. I imagine if they contested that successfully, they'd have to deal with the original charges levied on them by the state. I'm not sure if you even recognize that these are two fundamentally different things, but whatever.

Hasan reacts to Destiny's "kid gloves" and "booty-judge" comments, Destiny responds in chat and Twitter. Bridge is officially burned

Shortly following Destiny's comment, Hasan eventually stumbles upon a reddit thread wherein logs of Destiny claiming to treat Hasan with "kid gloves" during their discussion are displayed.^[38] In response, Hasan expresses his frustration in dgg chat, and accuses Destiny of being "insanely disrespectful". ^[39] Hasan eventually comes across Destiny's comments relating to his "Booty judge" nickname for Pete Buttigieg, and accuses Destiny(on both Twitter and Discord) of attempting to ad-hom him, label him as as homophobe, and destroy his career. ^[40] ^[41]Hasan and Destiny proceed to have one more interaction in the initial reddit thread, wherein Hasan accuses Destiny of ad-homing him and Destiny informs Hasan he doesn't know what the term means. ^[42] ^[43]

Destiny eventually takes to Twitter, and claims Hasan is only levying attacks against Buttigieg and Harris shortly after they've both overtaken Bernie in the polls. ^[44] Destiny goes on to rant for some time in dgg chat about his ongoing frustrations with Hasan, especially relating to his tendency to ad-hom and be disingenuous during their discussions. Destiny concludes his rant by lamenting his assistance in aiding Hasan in networking with many prominent individuals on Twitch, and assisting in growing his fanbase. ^[45]^[46]^[47]

Destiny Discusses breakup on stream, creates a reddit thread

Destiny's stream

On July 9, 2019 Destiny streams for an hour and a half. During his stream, Destiny reiterates several of the same points relating to his grievances with Hasan's approach during debates, Hasan's poor framing of both Buttigieg and Harris in his videos, and his issues relating to the nickname Hasan used for Buttigieg(booty-judge). ^[48] Destiny maintains that he was was incredibly gentle to Hasan during their conversation, especially considering how similar to a "piece of shit" Hasan argued. He continues, stating if an alt-righter/right-winger were to argue in a similar manner to Hasan during their discussion, he would have been much more harsh.

Hasan, in chat during the beginning of the stream, has several back and forths with Destiny (although he never joined the call). The back and forths primarily consisted of Hasan defending his usage of the phrase "booty-judge" as a joke, and reasserting that Destiny was dishonest/bad faith during their conversation. ^[49] Destiny, would routinely respond that the nickname is in fact homophobic, and asserts that he would be equally uncomfortable with someone calling Hasan "kebab boy".

Hasan eventually leaves chat, and Destiny continues to field questions. At one point, Destiny discusses his relationship with Hasan up until this point, and how the way they structure/approach debates differs and creates conflict. Destiny explains how he eventually discovered that he and Hasan form ideas in "dramatically different ways", and that he first noticed this in their first argument relating to breaking news. Destiny discusses how Hasan covered the shooting as soon as the story came out, dubbed it a hate crime as the victim was black, and received massive criticism when it turned out the shooter was also black. Destiny explains how this awkwardness continued to occur following the intermingling of their respective fanbases, and the views of Hasan(which he tended to disagree with) being ascribed to himself. Destiny goes on to describe how Hasan's ideologue-nature causes him to "crush" everything into some ideological basket with no critical thinking/rigorous thought-process required, and argues that Rem was correct in labeling him as such.

Destiny concludes the video by describing the massive hate he's received from various audiences online while becoming a political streamer and cultivating the political space on Twitch. He discusses how despite this fact, Hasan continues to ridicule him for "just getting into politics a few years ago". Destiny states that this is especially ironic given the fact that Hasan is "making thirty-five minute videos [based on] twitter threads". Destiny concludes by stating that while he still wants to be friends with Hasan, and enjoys hanging out with him in real life, he is disappointed by the lack of principles showcased by Hasan during this time.

Destiny's reddit thread

On July 10, 2019, Destiny submitted a reddit post summarizing his defense for why he believes the "Booty-judge" comment made by Hasan to be homophobic. ^[50]

Reddit thread text. 19 points, 54% upvoted

Some starting points.

I don't think you have to be homophobic to spread homophobic ideas. For example, someone who has no problem with gay people might use "faggot" in a recreational manner and not be homophobic, but we would still say he's spreading or contributing to homophobia.

I don't believe "context matters" unless the "context" is literally the discussion of the word. If you say things privately, I don't care, but on a public platform your words can be interpreted in ways you don't want them to be. For example, if I call someone a Bernie Bro without understanding the misogynistic associations with it, others will take what I've said and apply that to someone else, regardless of how I feel about it.

With that out of the way, my general stance is as follows - I would be insanely uncomfortable referring to genitals/bodyparts/sex acts as a pejorative against someone who's gay because I can easily see it being flipped around and used by actual, hateful people.

People are saying "anyone can be a bootyjudge!" but to pretend like this couldn't be applied in a malicious way to a gay person is pretty silly. Anyone else could also be an "assfucker" or a "cocksucker" but I think I'd be pretty uncomfortable calling a gay person that as well, something I explored a while ago when we were talking about Dave Rubin (when I made an insult relating to Dave Rubin sucking off the Republican establishment).

Here are some examples of "bootyjudge" being used by homophobic people -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz-z8BqeT-s

https://radicalagenda.com/2019/04/19/radical-agenda-s05e028-booty-judge/

I'm sure we could find more examples but these are two that were brought to my attention.

If you watch the former and read the latter in their entirely, do you really feel comfortable using "BootyJudge" as an insult against Pete? I suppose it's possible you still could, but I feel incredibly uncomfortable doing so, regardless of my stance against him.

 Prior to the call's conclusion, Hasan accuses Destiny of gaslighting, strawmanning, and creating insane hypotheticals throughout the conversation.  Hasan continues, stating he "hates this shit", discusses his disdain towards accusations of [[Moral_Luck|Moral Luck]] from Destiny's community, and likens talking to Destiny to trying to speak with {{wiki|Ben_Shapiro|Ben Shapiro}}. As the conversation concludes, Destiny counters that every hypothetical posited during the conversation was provided with the specific intent of exploring a given topic, and offers to discuss any disingenuous debate tactics Hasan feels were used against him at a later date.

Following his review, Destiny discovers Hasan's video on Buttigieg to be even more dishonest than his video on Harris, and levies several criticisms towards Hasan's framing of the candidate. During the video, Hasan lables fans of Buttigieg as "booty-heads", and repeatedly referred to Buttigieg himself as "booty-judge". Destiny took particular issue with the "booty-head" nickname, as he had recently suffered much criticism from both Hasan and his community for referring to Hasan as a "Bernie bro." Upon learning that Buttigieg is gay, Destiny would go on to take even more umbrage with Hasan's nickname for the candidate, arguing it to be an empowerment of homophobic rhetoric.  Destiny concludes the video by [https://youtu.be/oCsvkP_sVQw?t=4074 claiming to treat Hasan with kid gloves], explaining he has tried to be very gentle with Hasan during their discussions, only to have Hasan ridicule and ad-hom him.
