Stefan Molyneux quotes
There is nothing that is going to make people hate you more, and love you more, than telling the truth.
— Stefan Molyneux
SCREW CHILDREN! That’s the mantra of the world. Instead of burying them with a national debt, shoving them in shitty schools, drugging them if they don’t comply, hitting them, yelling at them, indoctrinating them with religion and statism and patriotism and military worship, what if we just did what was right for them? The whole world is built on “screw children”, and if we changed that, this would be an alien planet to us.

— Stefan Molyneux
Baseless victimhood is usually the last stage before outright aggression.

Sanity is not about confrontation. It’s about filtering. Having a stable and happy life is about saying “no” to crazy people, not about inviting them in and then hoping that confrontations are going to make them sane.
— Stefan Molyneux
To be yourself is in many ways to be inconvenient to others. Only placaters and appeasers get along with other people all the time and that’s not really getting along with anyone. That’s just self erasure.
— Stefan Molyneux
We may not yet know the right way to go, but we should at least stop going in the wrong direction.

If you spend time with crazy and dangerous people, remember – their personalities are socially transmitted diseases; like water poured into a container, most of us eventually turn into – or remain – whoever we surround ourselves with. We can choose our tribe, but we cannot change that our tribe is our destiny.

For the most part, people strenuously resist any redefinition of morality, because it shakes them to the very core of their being to think that in pursuing virtue they may have been feeding vice, or in fighting vice they may have in fact been fighting virtue.
— Stefan Molyneux
If the sound of happy children is grating on your ears, I don’t think it’s the children who need to be adjusted.
— Stefan Molyneux
Successful relationships are those relationships were conflicts are successfully resolved and in fact peoples intimacy, closeness, and love are enhanced through the resolution of conflicts. I have always become closer to my wife and to my friends when we have conflicts and work through them successfully because conflicts will always arise. They are an opportunity for intimacy, self-knowledge, and a greater connection.
— Stefan Molyneux
If you have people who treat you badly in your life, they will be a human shield against people who will treat you well. If that’s not true then we should apply it to marriage and start saying to woman who are being put down or beaten, “you gotta stay with him because he needs you and he has been your husband for 20 years for heaven sakes. You just have to work to love him more and so on.” This is the advice they gave to woman like 200 fucking years ago and it was abusive advice. I view the parent child relationship (This just not my made up perspective.) it is the least voluntary relationship. At least the woman who got married chose to get married. We don’t choose our parents. The highest standards of behavior are required for parents and no one else. There is no one else whose standards of behavior need be higher than parents and so often parents get away with the lowest possible standards of behavior with regards to their children.
— Stefan Molyneux
The answer to violence is the improvement of childhood.
— Stefan Molyneux
Record what you can, pursue your passions, connect with the world, fight the good fight, defy evil, shine incandescently as best you can. And it doesn’t matter what field it’s in but, it does matter that we leave something that accumulates over time.
— Stefan Molyneux
The cult of friendship disturbs me. It’s like our quality is supposed to be measured by the number of friends we have. For me, it’s quite the inverse. When somebody says “I’m friends with everyone” I just assume they have the spine of your average jellyfish and the integrity of your average soap dish. “I have tons of close friends!” Ok, then you obviously have no standards. “I’ve slept with lots of people!” Good, I will shake your hand from inside this Hazmat suit. It’s like you have to have friends or you’re nothing, and you gotta have lots of friends, and the more friends you have the more value you have. This Is a way of lowering our standards to fit in. I’m a big fan of quality over quantity. Everyone wants to look at their life like it’s a beer commercial they can just climb into. The larger the circle of friends the more alcohol is involved to blind yourself to the fact that you cant stand most of these assholes.
— Stefan Molyneux
Deep pockets and empty hearts rule the world. We unleash them at our peril.

The paralysis of potential is essential to the manufacturing of victims.

Excessive praise arises from the same bigotry matrix as excessive criticism.
— Stefan Molyneux
If you are for gun control, then you are not against guns, because the guns will be needed to disarm people. So it’s not that you are anti-gun. You’ll need the police’s guns to take away other people’s guns. So you’re very pro-gun; you just believe that only the Government (which is, of course, so reliable, honest, moral and virtuous…) should be allowed to have guns. There is no such thing as gun control. There is only centralizing gun ownership in the hands of a small political elite and their minions.
— Stefan Molyneux

Those suffering from terminal falsehood seek out each other, like a drunk seeks out a wall so that he doesn’t fall down.

— Stefan Molyneux
If you can’t share what’s important to you with the people around you, then you have no relationships. It’s all just proximity, and turkey, and sports, and weather, and bullshit.
— Stefan Molyneux
Appeasers will always try to get the least dangerous person to bend to the most dangerous person. This is one of the main problems in dysfunctional relationships. The more mature and rational you are the more you are victimized because, they are aware that you’re not going to be as aggressive, destructive, or possibly as abusive and so you are the one who has to bend. You’re the one who has to change and this constant rapping of rational people’s souls around the prickly irrationalities of other people are what appeasers are constantly doing.
— Stefan Molyneux
Good philosophy is always hate speech to evil doers.
— Stefan Molyneux
Facts do not fall in the face of discomfort.
— Stefan Molyneux
Most people, if philosophy touches them, they shatter, they atomize, they turn to dust. It is win/lose between philosophy and delusion, and most people are almost entirely composed of delusion. They’re only allowed as much reality as serves the masters. But they’re not allowed any reality which disturbs their masters…
— Stefan Molyneux
The move towards the extension of personhood to children is already underway, and is utterly, completely and totally unstoppable!
— Stefan Molyneux
We have to HIDE from each other because we think that we are the only ones BROKEN. We think we’re the only ones whose original selves we ground up and smashed under the jack-booted heel of cultural lies and superstition, patriotism, war lust, war hunger, and a denial of AGGRESSION AGAINST CHILDREN THAT IS THE FOUNDATION OF CULTURE. Culture is everything that is NOT TRUE. If it’s true, it’s called ‘math’ or ‘science’ or ‘facts’. Culture is the Stockholm syndrome we have with the historical lies that are convenient to the rules. We love the lies, because we don’t think we can be loved if we don’t.
— Stefan Molyneux
If you want kids, choose your girlfriend like your future child has the deciding vote.
— Stefan Molyneux
Almost all heroism is designed to make you inert by placing it in a context that you can’t possibly act on.
— Stefan Molyneux
I would respect feminist who said “Single moms, are you kidding me? Stop taking government benefits because, the government is the patriarchy. So, you are taking things from the patriarchy so you dont have to be responsible. Any woman who takes money from the government using cops who usually extract it from men by force is not a feminist. Is a exceedingly bad bride of the state.” I would admire that but, of course feminism doesn’t have anything to do with any of that stuff.Look, it’s fine. Have your fun. Make fun of men. Go for it. Yea, we’re all idiots, we’re all selfish, greedy bastards. Ok, it’s fine because the government is going to run out of money soon and then all these woman are going to try to find some guy to latch onto when the benefits stop flowing and I mean, you saw this happening with the soviet union. “Now we need you! You guys are great! We missed you so much! Give me some money!”It’s just a bunch of noise from a bunch of people who are stealing from the productive.
— Stefan Molyneux
All we think about in the cycle of violence is men. If we miss the oestrogen factor we cannot solve the cycle of violence. We cannot bring peace to the world unless we hold women accountable and morally responsible, particularly for their attacks upon children.
— Stefan Molyneux
The word “rights”, is something that governments need to provide you and protect you from but, the governments are the basic violators of all human rights.

Anybody who tries to change society without first examining the family, is trying to push a shadow without moving a statue.
— Stefan Molyneux
The manic relief that comes from the fantasy that we can with one savage slash cut the chains of the past and rise like a phoenix, free of all history, is generally a tipping point into insanity, akin to believing that we can escape the endless constraints of gravity, and fly off a tall building. “I’m freeeee… SPLAT!”.
— Stefan Molyneux

When people encounter the free market and they recoil or react negatively to it, they’re merely confessing that voluntaryism, trade and negotiation are foreign and threatening to them, which tells you everything about how tragically they were raised.

— Stefan Molyneux
We already live on the planet of war, we already live on the red planet, and it’s a war against children. All the other wars are just the shadows of the war on children.
— Stefan Molyneux
The goal of parenting is to create self-sufficient virtues in children. Applying external pressure and punishments tends to teach them fear-based compliance rather than the internalization of moral standards.

The tombstone over the grave of the conscience always reads: “Human Nature”.

There’s nothing lonelier than empty relationships. At least when you’re alone you can be yourself, but when you’re in empty relationships you can’t even be yourself.You can be real alone, or you can be a ghost with false friends.Pulse proximity is not intimacy, and it’s worse than no friends at all.
— Stefan Molyneux

— Stefan Molyneux

The unconscious is the true accumulation of your history. It can be accepted or rejected but it can’t fundamentally be altered.
— Stefan Molyneux
If there’s more that you can do, then do it. If there’s not more that you can do, then be content with what you’re doing. But if there is despair, the despair can only be that you can do more. Because when you’re doing as much as you can do, you will not feel despair. Because despair is the gap between what you could be doing and what you are doing.
— Stefan Molyneux
Culture makes lies plausible through exposure to time. It makes prejudice seem like physics intergenerationally. It is therefore the most dangerous opponent of philosophy, because it feels the most credible to the average person.
— Stefan Molyneux
No mean person is mean all the time. The whole point of being mean is to fluctuate so that you can hold out the hope for someone. So someone will hold out the hope that they’re gonna catch you on the sunny side or that you’re gonna be nice this time. The tyranny is inconsistency. Somebody thats consistently mean is something that is pretty easy to sort out. The reality is that the meanest people can be wonderful sometimes. That’s the whole point of meanness because otherwise it’s too obvious. It’s the niceness that gets you trapped in the dysfunction. That is the problem and so the fact that you have this belief that there is hope in the relationship is foundational to the dysfunction.
— Stefan Molyneux
All mental unhappiness is the avoidance of legitimate suffering.

It takes a huge amount of culture to normalize “crazy”, and of course that’s its main focus
— Stefan Molyneux
Bullying is an attack upon the runts of the litter – the weak of the species, and it is predicated on a lack of bond with the parents. If a child has a secure bond with the parents, that forms a force-field around the child in terms of bullying. If the child does not have a strong bond with the parents, then it’s like being separated from the herd – those are the ones who get picked off by the human predators in childhood and adulthood. So keep your contacts as close as you can, they provide an amazing shield against bullies and users.
— Stefan Molyneux
Improving the world can be a nasty and ugly and difficult and dangerous business…because when you improve the world, you threaten the entrenched interests of evil people.

Self-manipulation is our medication. Mythology is our drug. The only cure is honesty.
— Stefan Molyneux, Real-Time Relationships: The Logic of Love
Sorry, but I have to be who I am. Everyone else is taken… So be your self! Speak your truth – if there are people around you who tempt you with non-existence blast through that and give them the full glory of who you are. Do not withhold yourself from the world. Do not piss on the incandescent gift of your existence. Do not drown yourself in the petty fog and dustiness of other people’s ancient superstitions, unbeliefs, aggressions, culture and crap! No! Be a flare! We were born that way. Born perfectly happy being inconvenient to our parents. We shit, piss, cry, wake up at night, throw up on their shoulders, scream… We are, in essence, in our humanity, perfectly comfortable with inconveniencing others. That’s how we’re born, how we grow and develop. I choose to inconvenience the irrational.
— Stefan Molyneux
Being loved means; are disagreements welcome in my relationships? If you cant disagree with someone then you live in a tyranny and if you live in a tyranny then you are only loved to the degree that you erase yourself and conform to the irrational expectations of bullies. That isn’t love obviously. Now if somebody in you life demands that you not disagree with them and gets angry, “offended”, or outraged should you disagree with them then, that person is not a good person. It’s pretty narcissistic. It’s somebody who does not have the maturity, wisdom, and ego strength to handle, and in fact welcome disagreements. When people disagree with me as a whole I think it’s a great opportunity for learning. People don’t want to expose topics that might cause disagreement because, if the disagreement is punished then the illusion of being loved by good people is shattered.
— Stefan Molyneux
If there is no honesty, there is no relationship. The only degree to which there is a relationship is the degree to which you are honest. Expressing your clear desires does not make you a dictator and you telling what you think, feel, and what you want or don’t want, is just called being honest. It doesn’t control him at all. You’re trying to control others by withholding information by not getting involved and by not being honest. Withholding information is a form of manipulation. It is dishonest and it’s destructive to a relationship.
— Stefan Molyneux
The degree to which the psychiatric community is complicit with abusive parents in drugging non-compliant children is a war crime across the generations, and there will be a Nuremberg at some point in the future
— Stefan Molyneux
Applying parents values back to them allot of the time is like trying to pay back a guy who is a counterfeiter with his own counterfeit bills. “No, your supposed to think this is real money. I know it’s not. I’m only pretending this is real money to get away with something. I don’t actually want to receive it because I know it’s fake money.
— Stefan Molyneux
The law is an opinion with a gun.
— Stefan Molyneux
The idea that the State is capable of solving social problems is now viewed with great scepticism – which foretells a coming change. As soon as scepticism is applied to the State, the State falls, since it fails at everything except increasing its power, and so can only survive on propaganda, which relies on unquestioning faith.
— Stefan Molyneux
The whole purpose of propaganda is to make the obvious seem obscure, or offensive
— Stefan Molyneux
Socialism, or communism as it is sometimes called, is merely a secular religion, where the State becomes a god.
— Stefan Molyneux
If you have a really good ideas, one thing you dont need is a fucking gun. An iPad is a kind of a cool thing. They don’t need to threaten you with fines to get you to buy one do they? The moment the government says they’re gonna force you to do something, you know its a bad idea. If someone invites you on a date with chloroform, an old sofa, and a windowless van, it’s not a date.So, the fact that ObamaCare, welfare state, military industrial complex, public schools – you name it. The fact that it has to be imposed at gunpoint is a clue that it’s shit. Recognize that when there is a gun to your face, there is not a very advantageous human being on the other end.
— Stefan Molyneux
Statism ends with an eye roll.

We’ve got this weird dysgenic situation where we’re basically just paying idiots to breed and taxing intelligent people to stay away from each other with anything remotely resembling fertility.

Ever wonder why the media never refers to 18 or 19 year old American soldiers as “armed teens”?
— Stefan Molyneux
You cannot have an agency that defends your property, which also has the right to violate your property rights at will. That’s like hiring a bodyguard that you pay to beat you up randomly.

Tyranny is the wolf cast by the shadows of sheep.

July 4, the day we celebrate giving our political masters independence from conscience, morality, consequences for evil doing, and basic social and economic reality.The fireworks are the glowing tears of your children’s incinerated futures.Cheer happy slaves – your only chains are your deluded joys. Cheer and sing, because for you, songs of death are easier than questions of life.

Statism is an unnatural disaster.

Rights” are something made up by governments to make you feel like you’re buying something with your taxes.
— Stefan Molyneux
History is the same story with different costumes.
— Stefan Molyneux
You are constantly being trained to be heroic only in the service of your masters – only in slaughter and sacrifice and subjugation. But there is no heroism in serving your masters. Real heroism is questioning why you have masters at all.All these stories, all these fantasies, all these superpowers – are designed to steal heroism from you, to make it impossible, fantastical, remote, and unachievable – and make you useful to your masters (as a hit man, if needed). What is the opposite of this?The opposite of fantasy is philosophy. The opposite of mythology is integrity. And integrity is truth in action.
— Stefan Molyneux
Historical definition of a country’s borders… “…here’s where my murder geography ends and your murder geography begins, at least until I get more murderers to expand my murder-fest.
— Stefan Molyneux
Because the state uses violence to achieve its ends, and there is no rational end to the use of violence, states grow until they destroy civilized interactions through the corruption of money, contracts, honesty, family and self-reliance.No state in history has ever been contained.It’s only taken a little more than a century for the US – founded on the idea of limited government, to break the bonds of the constitution, institute the income tax, take control of the money supply and the educational system and begin its catastrophic expansion.
— Stefan Molyneux
The idea that the State is capable of solving social problems is now viewed with great skepticism – which foretells a coming change.As soon as skepticism is applied to the State, the State falls, since it fails at everything except increasing its power, and so can only survive on propaganda, which relies on unquestioning faith.

Dr. Peter Boghossian’s A Manual for Creating Atheists is a precise, passionate, compassionate and brilliantly reasoned work that will illuminate any and all minds capable of openness and curiosity. This is not a bedtime story to help you fall asleep, but a wakeup call that has the best chance of bringing your rational mind back to life.(Review of Dr. Peter Boghossian’s book, ‘A Manual for Creating Atheists’)
— Stefan Molyneux
A man goes to a foreign country and kills somebody who’s not aggressing against him; in a Hawaiian shirt he’s a criminal, in a green costume he’s a hero who gets a parade and a pension. So that, as a culture, we remain in a state of moral insanity. To point out these contradictions to people in society is to be labeled insane. This is how insane society remains, that anybody who points out logical opposites in the most essential human topic of ethics, is considered to be insane.
— Stefan Molyneux
Can social progress be made without government?It’s like saying ‘can happiness be achieved without the initiation of violence? Can romance be achieved without rape? Can profitability be achieved without theft? Can economic growth be achieved without the mass indebted enslavement and counterfeiting of the federal reserve?’.

Government is a gun that shoots money at your enemy and blows up in your face.
— Stefan Molyneux
You look back in time to when there was slavery and you think ‘how did people even remotely believe that this was a good idea?’.It’s incomprehensible for us to think of what the mindset was 100 or 200 years ago. I hope to make the present as incomprehensible to the future as the past is to us.
— Stefan Molyneux
Promote the voluntary family; voluntarism is the only known cure for abuses of power – in politics, the economy or the family.

The entire Nazi war machine was only possible because of past, present and future violations of the non aggression principle (achievable only through government).

Yes I pay taxes… There are no ethics in the face of coercion, that is blaming the victim. Focus on the man with the gun, not the man in the crosshairs trying to survive.
