Steven Kenneth Bonnell II, also known as Destiny, is an Omahanian 
internet personality, known for his prolific political commentary and debates. Destiny is one of the first people to become a full-time live streamer, originally streaming StarCraft II on Justin.Tv around 2011. Even at the start of his journey, Destiny's penchant for debating and vibrant personality would become the highlight of his stream, allowing him to be seen as a personality instead of a player.
Since 2016 he has garnered further attention for live streaming political debates with other online personalities, in which he advocates for progressive and liberal politics, sometimes referred to as Omniliberalism. The way in his worldview has combatted others' has evolved overtime, represented in the common community meme of story arcs. Prominent examples of this include his early debates with the online right, primarily combatting figures like Nick Fuentes, Brittany Venti, Sargon of Akkad and others. Recently, Destiny has pivoted towards conversations involving the Israeli-Palestine conflict, culminating in debates with renowned figures in the space such as Benny Morris and Norman Finkelstein, eventually tapering off after the 2024 United States elections.
He was the host of the Bridges Podcast and former co-host of the Anything Else? podcast with Dan.
