About Stefan Molyneux in brief
Stefan Basil Molyneux is a Canadian far-right white nationalist, white supremacist, podcaster and banned YouTuber. He is best known for his promotion of conspiracy theories, scientific racism, eugenics, and racist views. He has been banned or permanently suspended from PayPal, Mailchimp, YouTube, Twitter and SoundCloud, all for violating hate speech policies. The Freedomain internet community he leads is generally understood to be a cult by multiple sources, and he has been described as a cult leader. He describes himself as an anarcho-capitalist and a philosopher, but academic philosophers do not take the idea of him as a philosopher seriously. He was born in Ireland and raised mainly in London before moving to Canada at age 11. He attended Glendon College at York University in Toronto, where he was an actor at Theatre Glendon and a member of the Debating Society. He received an M. A. degree in History from the University of Toronto in 1993. In 2005, he began writing articles for the American libertarian website LewRockwell. com, before starting a podcast called Freedomain Radio. In 2010, he appeared on the Press TV program On the Edge hosted by Max Keiser, and first participated on Alex Jones’ InfoWars show the following year.
In 2017, he interviewed James Damore, the Google employee who was fired after writing the Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber memo. In July 2018, he and Canadian political activist Lauren Southern toured the Australian cities of Sydney and Melbourne. In November 2019, PayPal suspended his account. In January 2020, he released a video in which he asked his followers for money and complained that he would not be able to find regular employment after saying racist things online. In June 2020, his YouTube channel was banned alongside white supremacist David Duke, and white nationalist Jared Taylor, for violating YouTube policies enacted in 2019 against hate speech. On July 8, Molynux’s Twitter account was permanently suspended for violating Twitter’s policies for violating the #BoycottTwitter hashtag. In September 2020, MailChimp suspended Molyeux’s account, which he used to send out his newsletter to his followers. He said it was a coordinated effort in which YouTube had just suspended the largest philosophy conversation the world has ever known. He also hosted prominent white supremacists on his podcast, such as Peter Brimelow, and Jared Taylor.
