On-stream Appearances with Destiny
First Debate
On June 1st 2019, Burgis called into Destiny's stream to have a debate on whether or not socialist reform would be positive in the United States[1].
Second Debate
Years later, on the 25th of June 2024, Destiny and Burgis participated in a debate on the ModernDayDebate channel about their views on the Israel/Palestine conflict[2].
Pizza Tactics
- See Also: Debate tactics
In March 2021, following a debate Destiny had with Michael Albert about socialism, Ben Burgis participated in a review of the debate with several others. This would lead to another participant, Brenton Lengel, claiming that Destiny eating pizza during the debate was an intentional and malicious debate tactic designed to distract the audience while Albert was speaking[3]. Chat would later coin the term/meme 'pizza tactics' in response to this.
