The Curious Rise of Destiny

If you've somehow never heard of Destiny, he's the carpet cleaner from Omaha who turned StarCraft into a living, then spent the next decade arguing with, honestly, just about everyone on the internet. An atheist who tells people every day that they're morally wrong, while saying morality might not be real. This is the curious rise of Steven Bonnell II: the debates, the bans, Fuentes, Hasan Piker, Shapiro, Finkelstein, Candace Owens, Andrew Wilson, the Charlie Kirk fallout and the lawsuit.
