Destiny & Peter Boghossian CALL OUT Virtue Signaling, Grifting, Echo Chambers

Peter Boghossian and Steven Bonnell II, better known as "Destiny," have an intense 90-minute discussion in which the two explore social media’s intensification of political divides, virtue signaling, and what to do about toxic discourse. Peter invites Destiny to cross examine his beliefs, which Destiny does with gusto. They also discuss people's reluctance to engage opposing views, "grifting," Hungary, virtue signaling, echo chambers, epistemology, and more!

Destiny is a live-streamer, gamer, and political commentator.
