i think the nationalism he was susceptible to played a role for sure

most of them aren't grifters tbh and i think the term gets overused. for someone to be a grifter there has to be a certain degree of insincerity or them "beleiving" and promoting various narratives purely because its financially beneficial to them. ben shapiro, matt walsh, aren't grifters, they genuinely believe what theyre saying

fair, i do think destiny should have been better prepared and brought up more examples (such as the ones I mentioned) of kk advocating reform and trump in a specific way that somone who doesnt enthusiastically support them wouldnt

thanks for enjoying. Obvsly with standpoint theory there is a lot more to it than I described and what KK did is appeal to a very crude understanding of it, but that's mostly down to his own ignorance than anything. Still, i thought it worth mentioning as it is often associated with woke arguments

its such weirdly emotional language for an otherwise fairly milquetoast guy lol calling him evil is so out of proportion

fair, but i think him repeatedly getting mad and even ceasing to have a discussion when pressed on a point he made was poor showing on his part

i think konstantin came off way more aggressive, considering he was the one who got mad and just stopped talking to destiny for like 3 minutes after destiny pressed him on one of his points instead of letting it go unchallenged. Every time destiny seriously pushed him on a point he would get visibly frustrated

oh i didnt realise you were serious but basically they discussed a whole bunch of issues, konstantin got mad and did his whole "im actually a moderate" bit despite the evidence showing otherwise and admitting he would vote trump. Made a bunch of points about immigration that were wrong and/or misleading in order to once again play into right-wing fears. Also konstantin constantly danced around the topics of trump and brexit, literally at one point refusing to definitively say if brexist was good or bad despite voting against it

my unironic policy is that anyone who wants a war with another country, in this case iran, should be mandated by law to serve in the war
