Steven Bonnell the popular Twitch gamer that goes by the name Destiny has built a successful career streaming while talking politics, debating, and trolling right-wing culture from one of the biggest soapboxes.\nI hope you\u2019re ready for this deep dive into the manosphere unpacking the red pill community of online influencers causing men to feel more lost than ever.\xa0\nSo what are we digging into in part one of this two-part episode?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow online influencers like Andrew Tate attract so many followers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy you can\u2019t get through the manosphere\u2019s echo chamber of toxic beliefs, and\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy balanced perspectives are sorely needed to tackle misinformation being spread online\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQUOTES:\n\u201cLuring you in with the cars and the money and the girls, but I\u2019m ultimately trying to sell you self-improvement. I feel like that\u2019s a deal with the devil that doesn\u2019t pan out.\u201d\n\u201cLuck means that it isn\u2019t fair.\u201d\n\u201cIn the push to elevate women and minorities and all of these other types of people in society who historically didn\u2019t have the best representation, I think we\u2019ve kind of made the mistake of turning white people and young men into the enemy because they had the stage for so long.\u201d\n\u201cMasculinity is not toxic in and of itself, but aggression can be wielded poorly, in which case it would look toxic.\u201d -Tom Bilyeu\n\u201cGiven the ability to work jobs and have autonomy over their lives, women don\u2019t want to choose to be locked away as moms at 18,19, 20 years old, That\u2019s a really hard sell.\u201d\n\nFollow Destiny:\nWebsite: https://www.destiny.gg/\xa0\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/Destiny\xa0\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/TheOmniLiberal\xa0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/destiny/\n\nSPONSORS:\nelizabeth@advertisepurple.com\n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nWant to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
