I doubt there's any books on debating that would apply to modern politics but if you want to debate like him just practice these strategies with retards on discord or with your relatives if you want them to hate you.
>Talk fast and fire machine gun talking points that will take a long time for the opponent to address individually
>Mot and bailey, gaslighting your opponent when they call out your bullshit, accusing them of strawman or other fallacies
>Ask them retarded rhetorical questions that you can use as leverage against them and say "see, he didn't even answer my simple question!"
>Cite multiple sources like books and Harvard studies even though the shit you're saying is made up since it's a live debate and they probably aren't going to look it up.
And this one is the most important of all:
>Have 100% confidence in your own bullshit. The second you walk anything back, you have lost.
Debating is pretty easy if you have no shame or sense of honor whatsoever like destiny. It's like being a lawyer or a used car salesman.

OP this is a prime example of a bad debate tactic and it is everywhere now, where if you critique a public figure or group they will "other" you and assume you're on the other side of their ridiculous argument.
For example, this anon is so stupid that he fails to realize that all debate streamers are gigantic faggots that should be ignored and one is no "better" than the other. The fact that he refers to one of them as "daddy" should indicate the cult of personality these people fall for.

He has well reasoned points that are backed by evidence. Not that I can change your mind because you are already opposed to him so nothing I say or do will change that

>>23559504
I've seen that he does a lot of research, but the way he delivers his arguments is some of the most childish and cringe-inducing delivery I have seen in a "serious" debate. It's not about being opposed to him it's being opposed to what he represents: the screeching know it all on the internet that shouts over everyone but thinks he is the most mature person to ever exist.
Twitch "debaters" are inherently awful anyway.
>>
>>23559517
Oh yeah I see what you mean. I do think that the time and style he delivers his arguments is extremely cringe. It is really fun to see him destroy retards who haven't done any research THOUGH

Read anything that Low Testiny has not read, desu. Destiny literally only gish gallops or spergs loudly over his opponent. It looks as if he wins to his sub-IQ audience because they legit think making smug remarks are arguments. If any person beats Destiny, they always cope by saying they only won "optically", no exception.

Also, It's hilarious how he's the best the left has. Really shows what a brain dead ideology that is. Thank you for reading my blog.

debating is not "defending ideas" its a form of masturbation where you put yourself in public space to try and gaslight, ad hom or deflect rather than seriously sit and consider. people who debate have no actual interest in anything except clickbait and narcissism. and all these terminally online leftist faggots like vaush or destiny are nothing but cancer to the planet, creating little cultists who star tsobbing and shitting their pants over minute differences in opinion. shove your debate up your ass masturbator

These. I don't watch Destiny but anybody trying to argue that their e-celeb is better is a brainrotten retard. It's not a high bar to compete with, but probably all of the Destiny hate I've seen are from seething retards who are mad because they follow an even dumber and more obnoxious lolcow eceleb.

>>23559624

Better to avoid the allure of pointless "debate" and just focus on educating yourself further on the subjects you are interested in.

>>
>>23559687
Let me break it down for your zoomer twitch brain.
Destiny = e-celeb
e-celeb = brainrotting oxygen thief
therefore
Destiny = brainrotting oxygen thief

You can apply this same logic to any other e-celeb. Debating which e-celeb is "best" is the activity of somebody who supports brainrot, therefore you lose the right to call anybody else "brainrotten"

>>23559686
>your first statement is an assertion
My first statement is evident the moment you actually tune into those monkeys on a live debate. If you want a more fleshed out argument you should watch the video I linked, which I did because there's no point in restating an argument that has already been competently made.
>second is an adhom.
An insult isn't an adhom. An adhom is specifically when you use an attribute of someone to say that they're wrong. E.g. You're stupid therefore you're wrong. This is not my argument, my argument is that due to the time constraints the live format isn't conducive to legitimate intellectual discussion, on the contrary, it permits bad faith sophistry (but you would know all this if you actually watched the video I provided). My second point was just an observation on the audience that this type of content attracts.
>inb4 But you said 'timing' not 'time constraints'
That's because I didn't see any reason to put in any extra effort in elaborating my point when there's a video already explaining it. But thanks for proving my point that time constraints (even if they're self imposed in my case) effect the quality of the debate.
>>
>>23559739
See this is the problem right here. The 0 iq nidgger doesn't know how to read.. Indeed, he can't even categorize the post. He can't see that his cocksucking cuck messiah isn't even the topic at all. I am not surprised someone with tiny's rhetorical skill would attract such nonces as the one sampled here. another way to improve rhetorical ability is to play word games that grow your vocabulary. Some like scrabbles, but crosswords tend to be the best.

which means you don't agree with all a-celebs being retarded, you think there is a difference. Hence my first reply and all replies that followed it.

If you don't get it at this point go back to school.
>>
>>23559799
>which means you don't agree with all a-celebs being retarded
You quoted a text that proves your claim wrong, retard.
>an even dumber and more obnoxious lolcow eceleb
This implies that Destiny is a dumb and obnoxious lolcow eceleb, and that dumber ones exist. I don't know in what world calling someone a dumb, obnoxious lolcow eceleb is defending them.
Are you retards really trying to lecture me on logic?

Because you think he's marginally better. My whole point is that he is not.
>Explain that spastic "daddy" rant you went off about in your first reply instead of just dodging it like you have been for 20 replies.
I wasn't dodging anything? You were failing to understand the basic premise of what I was saying to you, so why would I bother explaining that I posted quotes from this thread that you conveniently skipped over when you were doing your attention seeking mass post? You probably still won't get it after that.

You text dumped a bunch of shit without any context whatsoever. No post number, no quoting the parts of the text that add context, no nothing. Text dumping a bunch of image board filth that doesn't directly respond to what I posted isn't the big BTFO you think it is.

Text dumping things that aren't responses to your opponent, accusing your opponent of claiming things never claimed WHILE quoting a post that disproves the same accusation, and insecurely posturing in the end pretending you've won. Yeah, I think online debate is based.

Don't look up to Destiny. Don't watch him. Don't see myself in him. Don't play videogames and don't have a basement. Don't care for money as long as I'm not financially destitute. I have a wife. Not a single thing of what you said is true.
