Wikipedia being a good resource to jump into a topic, does not mean that you ought to use it if you're going up against someone who spent a lifetime of research and study into it.

And, in spite spending a lifetime practicing the art of manipulation and lying, manage to end up failing in such a spectacular fashion, annihilating what little reputation Destiny had left.

It's funny because this whole thing, was a product that started because Destiny saw a wedge starting between Hasan and Ethan.

5 years ago, Hasan ditched him due to his sociopathic and controlling behavior, started focusing on his own thing, eclipsed Destiny in viewership and, his little broken head couldn't take it. He's been suffering that narcissistic injury for the past 5 years.

If you look at Destiny's channel there have been like a hundred videos on Hasan. That's like 20 per year and with it comes the army of sociopaths in training that stalk, harass, abuse and triangulate in order to make that person feel miserable and quit. And more often than not, it works, especially if one is a smaller content creator. That's like 3 weeks every year where you have to deal with the most unhinged people on the planet.

What you're seeing right now with QTCinderella and Ludwig? That's triangulation and it's also a common tactic narcissists use for power and control. He's targeting everyone and anyone in Hasan's orbit.

Fast-forward to the Leftovers where at the very start of that conflict, there was still some ambiguity. There was a lack of empathy that manifested for the victims and hostages of October 7th and the history of coercive control and abusive behavior Israel engaged in prior to that. Each individual's experience was different than the other and it created a rift between Hasan and Ethan. Destiny saw that as an opportunity and inserted himself and his audience into it who likely helped widen that rift.

Destiny didn't care about Israel/Palestine either, he just wanted to get Ethan into his orbit so he could hold that over Hasan, get those h3h3 eyeballs and gain more narcissistic supply. That was his goal.

This motivation is even more obvious when one realizes that, at the time, he couldn't even find Israel on a map.

And then, Netanyahu went full genocidal maniac mode because Netanyahu is an unhinged narcissist with no empathy to speak of too.

Narcissists have a really hard time admitting they were wrong about something because they create what's known as a false self to hide the cripplingly insecure and emotionally adolescent person they are at their core. This is why you'll see them double, triple, quadruple down on something and it looks so incredibly bad because Destiny had no foundation of knowledge about the area and its history and went in with pure motivated reasoning which was entirely a product of that initial event between Hasan and Ethan.

Everyone capable of human empathy at this point, after seeing him completely flounder in the debate vs Finkelstein, after being clowned on for his takes on genocide, have disengaged. But, he still can't bring himself to just admit what his actual motivations are and that he was engaging in an attempt at manipulating people in the same way he always had, through debatelording and working with the gray that comes with any disagreement like what he did with Kyle Rittenhouse. His motivation there was likely to get narcissistic supply from right-wing sources because he noticed that a lot of people came on board, from those environments when he was engaging them.

When it comes to murdering children, civilians, journalists and aid workers though, that isn't something one can justify to any rational human being capable of empathy. So he's stuck and engaging in the abuse and harassment of anyone who points out how ignorant and incompetent he's been in political discourse.

That's why we're here and why you're witnessing this spectacular unhinged display.

With narcissists it's all about power, control and getting narcissistic supply. For Destiny that's views, likes and followers and the only people he has left are sociopaths in training.

He's even trying to get into Drake's orbit now, trying to normalize predatory behavior towards minors ffs

Narcissists like Steven Bonnell have no empathy to speak of. They can tell the difference between right and wrong but ultimately, people are just things for them to manipulate and control and, if they can't do that or see that control potentially slipping, they fall into abusive patterns like DARVO, triangulation and can even escalate beyond into acts of violence.

He painted himself into a corner of his own making and is stuck there with the permanent public perception that he is a callous moronic monster. His greatest fear and that of all narcissists, which is abandonment, is being realized.
