Is this not the bald retard I keep seeing promoted on Odysee? I only noticed because when he was promoted I confused him for Peter Molyneux.

lollol i was being a little more charitable. i think he wants to retire some time in the near future or slow down his operations any way. so he just doesn't care about reaching the masses anymore. but i like your take better

I can't seem to quote or reply the post but post #34 where he says "Am I an anarchist or a nationalist? I am what is necessary" is something I would expect Dwight Schrute to say

THIS mother fucker. Saying anything about Molyneux now seems like beating a dead horse, but I found this thread so I might as well say something about him since people are talking about how he's behaving with a small, captive audience of people who mostly agree with him.
That was how it all started.
That was how it all started.
I knew about Freedomain Radio before I knew about Molyneux or who he was. This was before Youtube, or in the very early years. I tried to find a Wayback Machine archive of the freedomainradio.com page around that time, but the earliest capture is from 2006. The site was already dedicated to his cult of personality by then. Freedomain Radio was around before that. I want to say I found it between 2002 and 2005.
Freedomain Radio used to market itself as an atheist and anarchist internet radio station, similar to the Shoutcast talk stations about politics you could find on Winamp. There wasn't much about atheism online then. There was Reginald Finley "The Infidel Guy," and the Atheist Community of Austin's recordings of their public access shows. The word "podcast" either hadn't been invented or hadn't caught on yet, and any competitors to Finley or the Atheist Community of Austin were people who posted .mp3s of their shows to their blogger.com accounts and personal websites.
There wasn't enough material coming from most people for any of them to think of making an RSS feed of their own content. To "make it," you had to make friends with other content creators and get your show on an internet radio station. These were just streaming playlists anyone could set up, but most people didn't know how to do it.
There was trouble in the primordial online atheist community. A compromise had been struck for the sake of being able to evangelize atheism to normal people, so "politics" were not to be discussed. That didn't mean that people were not complaining about George W. Bush and Islam 24/7. It means that the Marxists weren't supposed to be fighting with the Libertarians and Objectivists. Molyneux was one of the first people to refuse to keep the truce and to make himself unwelcome by overtalking hosts and derailing other people's shows.
He had to strike out on his own to promote his own brand of libertarian anarchist atheism, and that started by gathering people with similar beliefs on Freedomain Radio. It aggregated "atheist comedy," libertarian anarchist content, and various other atheist/agnostic content that wasn't overbearingly left-leaning. Molyneux himself was a non-presence at first, but it was not long until his show was the most important show and other people were being pushed out to make room for him.
That was when Freedomain Radio lost its first audience! A lot of people weren't interested in his shitty show. As the original Freedomain Radio failed, he turned it into his own boring, self-centered station that ran nothing but back-to-back episodes of his own show. He kept the name of the entire network for his show to preserve the only brand recognition he had.
By the time Molyneux appeared on Youtube, his old libertarian atheist community had been done with him for a while. The community opinion of him was that he was a narcissistic asshole who started a cult after speaking out against cults.
He came across to me as a predatory manipulator and an insufferably smug pseudo-intellectual. He's the kind of person who puts "M.A." after his name because he has a Master's in History from the University of Toronto, and that should be enough for you to think this qualifies him to tell you to abandon your family and friends because they don't agree with everything he says.
His accidental association with the alt-right and manosphere and his resulting cancellation is fucking hysterical and typical of how he gets attention. He finally grifted too close to the sun and burned himself. I feel bad for all the people he convinced to ruin their lives over his desire to be worshiped. Molyneux doesn't believe anything he says. He wants to be a "public intellectual" and he will sooner destroy the relationships of countless people to soothe his ego before going back to university and getting laughed out of a Philosophy doctorate program. The only reason he became noteworthy at all was because of the rising tide of New Atheism's popularity on Youtube. He probably loved being spoken of in the same context as Richard Dawkins, but he belongs in the same context as Zinnia Jones and Brett Keane.
It's safe to say that it's all over for him now. He has a small circle of true believers. He's back to where he started, and without a new community he can use to propel himself back into the public's attention, he's not going to have more opportunities to grift. It's fitting he has a thread here even though he isn't funny. His implosion is going to be interesting if he does it in public, and watching this cunt experience ego death in front of his audience of (maybe?) hundreds is going to be hilarious. I might even expect a Jim Jones style meltdown with him commanding his followers to kill themselves for him.
Molyneux's only contribution to humanity is demonstrating that atheists are not immune to the cult dynamic. Karl Marx and Ayn Rand already did that, but Stefan drove the point home and will take his place in history next to the Zizians and other insane "rationalists."

Same fren.
I came into this thread because I wondered what happened to him, he was one of the big alt right guys in the mid 10s. Now? Not much.

Not at all. A lot of the early up video game programmers won't actually educating computer science. A lot of the background was actually an art in writing. And they. taught themselves the program so I can 100 per cent believe that some would do that. Also, I think the guy is a bit of a spurge, but it was screwed up. What happened to him, how he was on person from everything?''
Also, he's ultimately correct the time for arguments has passed.

He's lonely AF and needs an egoboost more than a wallet boost, but I'm sure he won't mind if you give him ONE DOLLAR

His first stream did mention his presumably teenaged daughter being out of the house a lot, which is why he was streaming that night.
He did also mention constantly that he writing a new book.
His stuff is being reposted to YT as well under an account named "Stefan Molyneux".
The comments are full of congratulations on his return. But a few skeptics did some digging and note that the account is actually being hosted out of India, so it's likely just a scammer taking advantage of his return and old ban.
