YouTube Retracts Strikes From Stefan Molyneux’s Account

Libertarian pseudo-philosopher turned far-right political pundit Stefan Molyneux received two strikes on his YouTube account for violating community content guidelines, but after fans pressured the site, YouTube reversed the strikes and apologized.

Molyneux is one of the leading purveyors of far-right indoctrination on YouTube, where he hosts thousands of videos bashing “political correctness,” espousing scientific racism, fearmongering about immigrants, and engaging in rampant misogyny. He also peddles white nationalist tropes about racial replacement and has promoted the idea of “white genocide” happening in South Africa, which is not happening.

Molyneux is also an alleged cult leader who has used his Free Domain Radio site to encourage people to isolate themselves from their families, a process he dubbed “deFOOing.” According to allegations from former Free Domain Radio members, Molyneux has coerced his inner-circle supporters into divulging their personal grievances, convinced them that their frustrations stem from their parents, and eventually encouraged them to abandon their families.

On Twitter, Molyneux said the strikes against his videos came “likely as a result of a mass flagging campaign,” citing no proof of that assumption, and urged his fans to contact YouTube “and alert them to this injustice.”
