Has anyone followed "Destiny" on YouTube?

He was recently on the Piers Morgan show and created quite a controversy by saying that the right does not take violence seriously until one of theirs is killed. He kept insisting that Donald Trump stop his violent rhetoric before asking others to stop. He is the President of the country. He should act like it.

Yesterday, he was having a debate on a college campus, it appeared to be Colorado State University, a la Charlie Kirk, and he was challenged by several students, with a few of them praising Jesus. The ones that I heard were all against him saying that the left has to stop being afraid of the right and the right needs to be more afraid of the left, paraphrasing.

My first thoughts as I was listening was that this guy is asking for violence. He was very confrontational.

From what I recall he's an online personality in the attention economy, and with that role comes an insatiable need for conflict and debate -- both with ideological opposites and with those of the same tribe.
