Is this man just a complete hack? He seems to have no real knowledge of philosophy or philosophic works outside of antiquity.

he's bold so probably

He probably is a hack.
Everyone who disregards philosophic works of antiquity are also hacks.

Top pseud

Not an argument.

He's just another fake newman playing to an audience.

I don't know. I find it impossible to make it through one of his videos because he is so obnoxious.

its pretty hacky to say you fixed morals or ethics or whatever when he published that one work no one liked.

I don't follow his work very closely but it seems that he went from advocating anarcho-capitalism to wholehearted support for big government authoritarian Trump.

There's no such thing as truth. Stop being such a little baby. Everyone has their ideology which they follow. So it's all just a matter of style and rhetoric. I'm allowed to watch him and further his message. I often accuse people of virtue baiting, being coercive, or committing child abuse. There's nothing you nerds can do either.

That's because he's only one of the many alternative media shill boyz.

He is exactly, literally what Plato was attacking when he criticized the sophists.

he's not even a good sophist, Gorgias would run circles around him.

Libertarians always are.

His political stuff is hit or miss, but he did the best movie review I've seen in recent memory. There are some amazing lines in this.

Anytime someone proposes they alone have the truth about______. I'm extremely weary. He was a bit more tolerable, even with all his batshit anarchism, back when he wasn't so obviously controlled.

He is a great ethical philosopher who got blacklisted for telling the truth about #whitegeNOcide

>He seems to have no real knowledge of philosophy or philosophic works outside of antiquity.
Sounds good to me.

He's actually getting people to examine their lives and the information they're exposed to critically. He's interacting with the public, exposing himself and them to new ideas and evidence. Seems better than waxing existentialist ad nauseum like the german and french philosocucks.

He is a narcissist and the ancap shit is delusional though.

race isn't valuable, you stupid nigger

Hes a passive aggressive bitch during his call in shows. Some regular Joe schmo wants to ask a question and the guy is interrupted constantly for not being philosophically rigorous

I watched his video about Frozen and it was down right cringey pseudo philosophy. He makes the assertion magic is a metaphor for insanity and that Harry Potter is the story of a boy going insane and living in an insane asylum. Thats about where I stopped watching because it was so unbearably stupid

Really? That's funny, given how that's a trope in sci-fi fantasy television, at least. I know sci-fi shows do it, and buffy the vampire slayer did it.

Im not even talking about tropes. He thinks magic in fiction is a constant metaphor for inasanity.

I get it, but I'm saying the writers of fantasy and sci-fi are aware of this idea. That's all. All magic actually represents is a world with different physical laws, if you want to get pedantic about it.

ITT: not an arguement

Le you ain't got no argument man

All Sam Hydes little slips against Joe Rogan and his recent video where he mentions listening to Stefs longer videos in the background while fucking off leads me to believe Sam is a total moron, or a disillusioned, frustrated person with no alternative to the mainstream which appeals to reality. And people respect MDE in part due to this particular outlook. This is why Sams work is always underpinned with a pang of disappointment, either for being so unprincipled and irresponsible or just dumb.

>alternative to the mainstream which appeals to reality
I dont understand what that means

not an argument

good argument

he is slandered all the time by everyone for talking about race

Alternative media are the real shills! Quit punching down at the massive media corporations and the oligarchs who own them. :^)

>lol there is no such thing as race, that's why we need replacement levels of immigration, you racist

i didn't say shill. i said playing to an audience. which is exactly what the corporations are doing, just on a larger scale.

America's answer to Ernst Rohm

People tend to use his rhetorical flaws and his somewhat obnoxious tics to discount him completely. Like any self styled philosopher you gotta take this dude with a grain of salt because there is some actual value. I can only take him in small doses personally.

right libertarians managed to create their own edifice of pseudophilosophy with little to no relation to the rest of Western though, not bad for a bunch of fedora tippers

anyone an-cap is a fucking retard with cognitive dissonance.

says the board filled with commies ayy lmao

What? If anything lit is filled with nationalists and liberals.

communism worked for 190,000 years, anarcho-capitalism has never worked.

WRONG

>and with one word he proved nothing at all

Ancap is a complete meme because classic power vacuum fucks your shit up and Vico gets you back into the Theocratic Age.
Communism is plainly fucking autistic.


Actually, I wanna go back to the Theocratic Age, Ancap revolution now!

>communism worked for 190,000 years
the most retarded thing i have ever read on Veeky Forums im embarrassed for you

?

Hunter-gatherer bands lived in egalitarian groups that shared resources. Social stratification
only came about with sedentism about 14k to 10k years ago.

[citation needed]

there always have been and will be alpha males in human tribes

there is nothing egalitarian about the fact that throughout human history 20% of men got to breed with 80% of the women

>He thinks the "Communism" of the Soviet union is the same as real communism

Real communism only works at a very local/village/tribal level and in that regard it was the standard for man in pre-civilization.

>thinks tribal bands are communist
again read a book nigger

>there is nothing egalitarian about the fact that throughout human history 20% of men got to breed with 80% of the women

[citation needed]

>when you support limited state and the NAP but are also a colonialism apologist

>colonialism
made everywhere it went better prove me wrong

>a consensus of an entire field needs a citation
>proceeds to make broscience claims as if they're the truth

India was reduced from an economic powerhouse representing 20% of world GDP in just a century to a subsistant resource mine with greatly heightened sectarian antagonism, famines and extreme poverty.

But you're an uneducated trogladyte so you'll just dismiss this well established narrative that everyone outside your hugbox accepts as a given.

colonialism is a private sector thing, bud, where troops are used in service corporate interests and not those of the nation or its people. colonialists are parasitical, like bankers. privitize the profits, socialize the costs, and if the losses if necessary.

you're not funny

He doesn't even make philisophy videos, just "Here's why [newest Trump story] is good".

Even if this were 100% true (which it is not--denying a statist aspect to colinilism is laughable) Colonialism still violates the NAP.

Molyneux is a hypocrite.

Talks too much to be a thinker

it stopped slavery from being common practice you sperglord

Wrong

It when to shit when the british left

>replying to every post in the thread
You're objectively a huge fucking asshole. You make people think there's going to be some interesting response to a post and instead we have to see your retarded fucking post, which isn't even that funny. Complete cancer, even Reddit doesn't deserve you, bitch.

Reminder that Stefan Molyneux tried to prove objective morality and solve ethics forever

>c-communism has never happened in the exact specific way i consider right
Faggot.

...

But the soviet union didn't consider itself communist - merely "working" towards it.

>fuck up horribly
>"t-this isn't real communism I-I promise"

That's not the argument though friend. At no point did they say they had reached communism.

At some point they said they had reached socialism (which is obviously debatable) but never communism.

...

He is a conman like Alex Jones or Trump.

Alpha male is a myth. I bet you also think dogs need an "alpha" too. Literally pushed by conmen trying to sell self help books.

Because they destroyed it with self interest.

>a consensus of an entire field needs a citation

Yeah, it fucking does. Entire fields have just been flat out wrong before too, so if their reasoning holds up to scrutiny I want to know their arguments.

Well then go read retard. Every argument your ignorant ass could think of has been covered in the last century.

I swear I don't know where these goobers get their ego from

He's a conman, failed academic, cult leader.

Just start with Wikipedia if you want a summary on prehistory. It has sources.

Now give sources for this:

>there always have been and will be alpha males in human tribes

>throughout human history 20% of men got to breed with 80% of the women

The only sources I can find put male reproduction rates at 81%:

Well thought out post, this really made me think

its true though

>Letting your country become a violent shithole full of ape tier beings is not a bad thing.
>There really isn't anything valuable about preserving western society.

>India was reduced from an economic powerhouse representing 20% of world GDP in just a century to a subsistant resource mine with greatly heightened sectarian antagonism, famines and extreme poverty.
India wasn't unified until the Brits.Also they were 20% of the world's GDP because the industrial revolution didn't start yet and population was the only thing that matter for GDP. Well population and not being a country full of dumb negros

>Follow Marx's loose definition of proletariat dictatorship
>This isn't what Marx wrote bout guyyys look at this autistic interpretation of mine of the holy book Das Capital.
Marxism is literally a religion at this point

if you're illiterate, a lot of things you disagree with can seem that way.

>I am the only one that can understand the scriptures of Marx.All the high IQ communists and self-proclaimed Marxist just didn't really got it.
t.autist.
Even mormon theodemocracy is more consistent and less ambiguous than Marxism

From what I watched, he makes good points based on some statistics. I don't agree with him when it comes to solving issues he mostly correctly points out, tho.

He doesn't even talk about race that much besides a few videos. The Jared Taylor one for example.
