(There's another video I'd want to add here, but I can't seem to find it. In the video, Elliot talks about how he is incredibly desirable, that he drives a nicer car than most of his peers and has expensive clothes.)
Below are the things I said I'd respond to in the pinned comment. Thanks again for watching my video. If you liked it, consider donating to my patreon: www.patreon.com/bigjoel Okay cool please enjoy this amazing pinned comment
*Is it reasonable to interpret Elliot Rodger’s crime as a hate crime against white people?*
It’s hard to even argue against a position this ridiculous. Elliot Rodger did resent white people, but he resented them from the perspective of a white supremacist who looked down on non-white people. He specifically resented white women for going with black men and not him. This was a crime transparently motivated by white supremacy, and the race of his victims does nothing to change this fact.
*Is it reasonable to interpret Elliot Rodger as a leftist who took “redistribution of resources” to mean “ redistribution of women”?*
No, what? Where is Stefan even getting that from? For one thing, Elliot didn’t want to “redistribute” women, he wanted to muder them and erase them from society. But more importantly, Elliot never conveyed any allegiance with leftism in his writings, nor would it make sense for him to have done that. Incels reject feminism and, at least in my experience, tend to lean toward the right. Whereas leftists want to redistribute resources because they see the lives of the poor as meaningful and worthy of protection, Elliot Rodger considered women subhuman, was obsessed with his class, and saw himself as inherently superior because of his “aristocratic breeding.” I don’t know, not really seeing the leftist influence.
party in the usa!
The problem with the ‘redistribution of women’ thing is that, and I know this’ll shock you new leftists out there - women aren’t a resource. Women are citizens. When you’re talking about resources, you don’t talk about distributing women, you talk about distributing TO women. Same as men.
@@kitwhitfield7169 Why would that shock anyone on the left?
Dat Fishe Boi It wouldn’t, I was joking. Text-tone strikes again, I guess. :-)
Yeah what Molyneux pushes with the redistribution thing reveals the way he looks at women moreso than it is a statement which gives us some truth about leftism. As Kit said women aren't a resource, they're sentient beings and citizens and Rodgers' manifesto isn't based on some egalitarian society but on a perspective where only some human beings can/should be treated as human.
"it would be disrespectful to the victims to politicize the holocaust by claiming nazi ideology had anything to do with it, so let's do the common-sense non-political thing and speculate wildly about how traumatic it must have been for Hitler to have his art school application rejected... "
stilltoomanyhats Quite 😏
gonna be 100% honest with you, lots of people genuinely believe this to a T, people who generally align themselves in exactly the same ways as stefan molyneux.
Oh mY GOD YOU’RE RIGHT
Daaaamn
Oh god, don't make me wanna die
Stefan: “At one point in his life, Elliot tripped and fell. What if he tripped a lot? No one likes tripping, and I’m not saying that tripping a lot is the direct cause of his actions, but it’s definitely a straw on the camel’s back.”
I wonder if Stephan would take that same policy with transgender people, treat them as they want to be treated otherwise it's another straw on the camel's back.
Joel: "I'm not saying it's misogyny. But it's misogyny."
Two different flavors of absolute garbage. They're both picking over the ravings of a disturbed teenage boy and claiming it needs to be taken seriously because 'muh narrative.'
@@The_Mighty_Fiction what alternative to the "narrative" would you give oh mighty centrist.
@@annhilator55 Do you honestly need to be told _another_ fairytale rather than attempt to comprehend this on your own terms?
@@The_Mighty_Fiction ah the copout route, how masterful. You know when a dude goes on about how he hates women, then attempted to murder several, then because he wasnt able to just turned his gun on anyone he wanted i'd imagine that yes misogyny is at play. The whole "mentally disturbed" thing, is a copout which puts the blame on some internal mental issue rather than the acts of a lucid individual who chose to do an act of violence.
He was born
Stephan: "Women are responsible for this"
I mean I know this is an ironic joke but the man literally said
"All of the cold hearted jerks in the world came out of the vaginas of women"
lmao he is beyond parody
@Anna Dayton - His mother tried to kill him? That's explain a lot.
@@stigma2936 Tbh, if I was his mom, I would absolutely advocate for the right to have an abortion even after birth.
I mean, at least one woman was responsible
What broke my brain was the "your dad was an asshole because your mother chose him". Like, what? So if a _nice guy_ happens to get a girlfriend, he magically transforms into an asshole that very second? Wha… how … why …
Also, wouldn't that make Stefan an asshole, because some woman apparently chose him and even had a child with him?
"Don't use the victims as tools for your political agenda, because I'm using them for mine." -Stefan Molyneux
Dibs
Also annoyingly ignoring the fact that if a crime comes with a political manifesto, it is inherently political to begin with.
Don't use the victims as a tool for politics even though that was the murderers purpose
I, too, follow the wonderful tradition of not talking about my sex drive with my mom.
Well I hate to inform you of this, but there's around a 50% chance you are gonna kill a bunch of people! As long as you didn't go to summer camp...
Clearly you wouldn't have been casted in "Back To the Future."
My mom gave me the "sex talk" when I was 24. It consisted of two sentences. "Use a condom. I don't care what she says."
Fortunately, I didn't turn out to be a mass murderer, despite once going to camp.

Elliot Rodger: My local Subway employee forgot to remove the pickles from my order
Stefan Molyneus: StRAw oN tHe CamEl's bAck.
bach pham that's not something Stefan would say, because the employee wasn't explicitly said to be a woman!
@@mothdoc1909 But they were probably poor if they worked at Subway. I'm sure poor people are partly to blame.
I am glad that some people listen to the always questionable ideas of Molyneaux and virtually nobody reads the idiot jokes you write.
I mean, don’t tell me you can’t imagine Elliot Rodger writing one or two paragraphs in his manifesto about how some female Subway employee looked at him funny when he corrected her on getting his order wrong
"There's this assumption in fast food, and in society at large, I think, that everybody must like pickles. And what if you don't like pickles? Well, you have to ask. (fake laugh; next part said with weirdly angry grin) You have to ask them to remove the pickles and, frankly, they should remove those pickles because not everybody likes pickles in their sandwich! (expression grows serious) And then, and then, what if they don't? Even after you ask? That local Subway that you trusted has let you down. There is this, this highly insidious undercurrent, I'd say, of alienation."
If someone insists on not bringing the politics of the shooter into the discussion, nine times out of ten it's because they share those same politics.
One time out of ten is because they _are_ the shooter.
@@rickrolld1367 I don't think that's how that works lmao
I was abused by a woman as a child and yet I have never killed any women... But apparently being taken to summer camp could have been the straw that broke the camel's back... According to a white supremacist at least. I personally believe that my lack of murder comes from my willingness to distinguish between someone who caused me trauma and arbitrary descriptors of that person such as gender, sex, race or anything else.
or maybe it's because you are a neurotypical person who can handle stress better than he does. Seriously, stop trying to compare yourself to someone who committed suicide. It's obvious that you don't got a clue about how severe his mental illness was.
@@vice2versa Committing suicide is one thing. Killing people before you do it is another.
I hope you're feeling as good as one can be now ❤
so no cognitive dissonance towards logic and fallacies of logic. Sorry for your experience with abuse.
@@madra000 it isn't so much that the dissonance doesn't happen. it's that i acknowledge and challenge it. If i meet someone and they remind me of my abuser i might feel like putting up a barrier and judging them. when i have that feeling i then remind myself of what is actually making that connection. It could be something like they are wearing a similar clothing style or an inflection in the way they talk but unless the similarity is in how they are being actively abusive i tell myself "they are not my abuser" and honestly that really helps. abusers aren't defined by sex, race, religion, or idk music preference. Abusers are defined by the abuse. Working from a place of being abused really requires that we make those steps to learn that. if we don't we can become immobilised by ungrounded fears based on generalisations. Thats a losing situation. if i feared anyone who had something in common with someone whe did something bad to me then there would probably be nobody in the world left to trust. And you see some people doing that. They were abused by a man and now they fear everyone born with a penis including trans women. it isn't healthy and enabling that fear hurts them and hurts everyone. we can understand the cause of someones fear whilst reassuring them that they are safe and that the fear isn't what keeps them safe.
Stephan Molyneux is an Olympic gold medal mental gymnast.
His points always seems to fall flat on their face for me.
Wait... isn't this my internet history teacher just commenting?
Virto Erto it’s always interesting to see that about half of the prominent UA-cam historians are reasonable leftists and the other half jerk off to the idea of re-creating empires.
He's a pig.
Yeah...but did he win that gold medal with a broken freakin' neck? (That's a wrestling joke. Don't worry if you don't get it.) 🤣
"It's really repulsive how people use this sort of atrocity as a way to score cheap political points. That's why, out of respect for the victims' families, I'm going to relay the killer's manifesto without a single grain of salt, vindicating his worldview at every step of the way."
- Stefan Molyneux
And making him relatable and imitatable by every lonely kid out there, as 95% of his complaints are just normal kid things.
Hey, that's apolitical. His ideology could be anything, repeating it isn't a political act. It's a factual statement about a news event, and things can only be one thing, not two. That's why the people on the left are only making political statements and not reporting facts about the news event.

Molyneux: Women screwing bad men is the reason for all problems!!
Also Molyneux: Why didn't you women screw this bad man?!?!?!?
Heinz Guderian that’s the thing. He doesn’t think he did anything wrong.
But... but Elliot was a NICE GUY!
Now sir I do declare that this is a straw man, buT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE EGG MAN!!!
See, the reason he says this is because to Stephan, the distinction the between a 'good' and a 'bad' man comes down to skin colour...
Clearly this mass murderer was only bad because no supermodels fucked him.
The problem with Stephan is that he refuses to acknowledge that it was Elliot himself who caused his own actions. Many teens face rejection, loneliness, divorce, etc. but they don't become mass murderers.
Many men grow up in toxic environments but don't become rapists or harassers. Yet, I don't think it's unreasonable to suppose how we raise boys has an impact on their choices regarding women. The personal responsibility element can be present while also acknowledging the causal influence of social factors. Now, Molyneux is just plain wrong in what he identifies as causal factors, but wouldn't there still be causal factors worth investigating?
@@spennyb89 Yes it's worth investigating, but by actual psychiatrists, psychologists and detectives, and not by political demagogues, professional misogynists and single-digit IQ Internet comments.
Because they have something to lose.
@@ottojarvonnen2455 No they are just sane
@@ravedubin3983 Keep telling that to yourself if it lets you sleep better.
Stefan: I talk to my children about sex since before they were born.
Also Stefan: Ewww, don't allow your wife/mother to have sexuality.
I'm surprised he even managed to create any children considering how disgusted he is by women....and their VAGINAS!
@@jdprettynails his racial imperative to procreate is too strong, or whatever. But yeah, dude's a huge misogynist by even the most forgiving definitions.
@@BewegteBilderrahmen It makes me wonder how or why some people accept their partners' extreme sentiments, even at their own expense. Maybe his wife was just desperate to be married and she doesn't really care what he thinks about anything. Who knows?
@@TheMorganVEVO Some people internalize bigotry directed towards them. It's possible that she feels the same way about herself as her husband does about her.
@@TheMorganVEVO
Hm, I may be able to answer it, as I am in a similar situation.
I've been in a relationship for a few months now, and he only recently told me about his sympathy for incels and their hatred for women, since he apparently used to think the exact same way as them before meeting me.
I still choose to be with him, because I fell for his personality and the experiences we've been through, not his views.
(It's much more complicated, but that stuff's personal and no one cares.)
But! His views have been progressing and are taking a turn for the better.
He even loves to watch the occasional Contrapoints video with me.
"Let's set aside the white supremacy and misogyny, and examine all the completely normal things that happened to this kid, and collect enough straws to build a...oh, I dunno, some kind of...man of straw?"
Elliot rodger was not white. He was half Asian

@@johnnyspin6346 don’t need to be white to be white supremacist. My family is Asian and still acts like white men are the best thing in the world sometimes. It’s astounding

It is a nice sweater.
Indeed...a very cozy sweater and A+ audio!
Big Joel always is wearing a sweet ass sweater.
Lol'd so hard at this
Absolutely destroys virgin Eggman.
Stefan is definitely someone who says things like "You can't even say hello to women anymore" and "Well what was she wearing?"
This is so true
No he says things that are MUCH worse lol
He called a can of pasta “feminist virtue signaling” because it had supergirl on it
@@cryo311what a dork
Molyneux has such a ridiculous amount of compassion for one person who did terrible things, and yet Molyneux has...like...no compassion for anybody else ever
That's pretty crazy huh
It’s because he wants to do what Elliot did so badly. He thinks women are going to destroy the entirety of western civilisation, the same western civilisation that gives him so much privilege and income.
Caesar Speaks don’t forget “western civilization” is a dog whistle for the whites which he considers superior
@@wooogie672 Oh so there's no such thing as "western civilization" now? Is it just a dog whistle?
@@itsspaceboi I mean.... kindof? For the vast majority of history western europe has been far from homogeneous enough to consider one single civilization. And if you consider all of europe western then it becomes even less so. It's like saying Russia and Japan are both part of Eastern Civilization. Like, fucking how? Other than them both being to the east of europe how are they anything alike.
He really focused on the school uniform aspect, when I just looked at the points on that slide and realised Rodger spent his early childhood here in England, where... everyone wears a school uniform. And we have a very low number of mass shootings. Now that might be because of our gun laws, but to Stefan I'm sure saying that is way too political.
Well to be fair high school blazers are pretty enraging /s ((as in no blazers don't actually give me murderous intent, they were horrible tho))
“I started talking to my daughter in the womb about sex.” This man is almost so absurd it’s surreal.
*Puts face up to stomach* "Listen here, darling. When a man of sufficient means meets a woman of optimal sexual market value, they will perform an unspeakable act involving the genitalia. This will cause new life to spring forth. This life will be forever stained with the insoluble birthmark of the mother's iniquity."
@@john.james.110 if only i could upvote this post twice
When a man talks to a baby inside a mother's stomach it's absurd, when a women does it its healthy and beneficial to the child. I'm perceiving some bias in your comments.
@@Caddyleadz only if that woman in the mother, otherwise it is just as worthless and weird an endeavor. the fetus is not capable of understanding speech and through the noisy moving body of it's mother it reasonably cannot hear much if anything. if the mother is doing it then the mother is receiving some sort of (hopefully) positive stimulation and which could conceivably be passed on to the child hormonally though to be honest that is a generous opinion. likely its no different from if someone outside of the mother spoke to the fetus which is to say it's not for the fetus' benefit so much as it is for the speaker's
also molyneux is creepy and weird and the joke is that he would be no less creepy and weird to his unborn child than he would to any other female person
@@technopoptart he was making a joke about making sure to talk to your children at a young age... Witch hunts should only happen in 3rd world countries. This is what passes for weird and creepy in 2019? Have you seen the freaks out there......

- he was in a war
- he had only one testicle

So, don't make this a political thing. Those are all straws that lead to breaking the panzers back.
best comment
@@johannageisel5390 I think the point was more than just the sarcasm. I feel it was saying while, yes, Hitler had experienced trauma and abuse, the issues we have with him as a person are primarily political, seeing as his motives were in massive part political in nature. So even if the reason he went the extra mile is due to experiencing trauma, it was still also his political ideology that gets us to the point where he even targeted certain groups.
@@muntu1221 Miller argues, that the rumour that the father of Hitler's father was a Jew, did contribute to the antisemitism Hitler either grew up with or developed on his own.
I think, ideologies and the psychological setup of a person are not strongly divided. If you're being raised to develop a compassionate nature, you will hardly be drawn towards an ideology that excludes groups of people.
@@johannageisel5390 I'm aware that ideology is strongly rooted in one's personal experiences, but what I'm trying to say is that it would be dishonest to say his actions weren't political in nature simply because you can find a personal reason as to why he may have done it. He still used politics to justify it and garner a massive following that were more or less okay with carrying out his will.
@@johannageisel5390 If I remember correctly Bismark remarked that the Franco-German war he presided over was won by "the Prussian teacher," the same teacher later leading Germany into WW1 and WW2 but not finding as easy a punching bag for his pupils makes a lot of sense and puts a lot of things in perspective.
I also agree with you that these kind of things should be mentioned more often, even if it would be probably less about your kid becoming a nazi and more about your kid being mentally healthy. A psyche that consciously understands why nazism is wrong but is subconsciously drawn to it is not great for your happiness and productivity.
Stefan Molyneux blames the women. What an surprise.
ravioliandsalsiccia what are you trying to say ?
@ravioliandsalsiccia No. Elliot Rodger has as much of a free will as we do. The distribution of responsibility does nothing but whine; if not the parents, and in turn the society, and in turn, the cruel, cruel universe, would we all not be serial killers? Our understanding of sentience and accountability would never permit this: to believe otherwise is to attribute him to either the status of a god or subhuman.
@ravioliandsalsiccia Apparently women can't comment without being judged. Nice move.
I'm not saying that he is not a product of his environment. I hold the belief that almost all that is human in us is nurtured and not nature; that the experiences we have are what define us. However, his murdering, his disgusting actions, should not be blamed on those around him. If they were, I'm afraid the judicial system would be quite the joke. It is not attributed on a whole to Elliot, though; his trauma, mental stability, and more than unhealthy habits can all be traced back to childhood incidents, but his actions are results of his own doing.
A note: either the part I was responding to was deleted, or my sleepless nights have caught up to me, because that comment was a little bit out of place (and quite rude, sorry lol), and I honest-to-god do not remember writing or thinking about it.
The entire situation with Elliot Rodgers, much like every other spree killer, was a product of both nuture and nature.
He was suffering from severe untreated depression, which is a common occurrence with spree killers in perticular. In almost every instance where a spree killer isn't apprehended or shot, the killer will take their own life, as that is ultimately the final goal of these types of mass murderers.
They're fed up with the world and want to end it all, but take revenge against the world that they blame for their trouble in a final act of defiance.
Most of what Elliot had gone through is the same ordeal hundreds of millions of kids around the world go through. Pretty much normal teenage angst and him being socially inept. He is a good example on how a privileged upbringing is ultimately meaningless if the parents have headass syndrome.
His father in particular was one such case. Still, his mental fortitude was ultimately a result of nature and from an early age, if his manifesto is a credible source into his psyche, then he was always highly likely to develop mental issues.
Children who show early signs on mental issues will almost always see these issues manifest in their teenage years, as the development of the brain and hormones is at its peak there.
It was a circle of negligence, lacking observation of his parents, social isolation from his peers, his own highly agressive and apprehensive attitude towards people, weak mental fortitude and very possible undiagnosed behavioral disorders which caused him to commit his act.
It was planned to a degree but a very impulsive and sudden decision, which is made evident by the way he executed it.
@ravioliandsalsiccia My little sister is a psychopath.. she was born that way. We grew up in the same half-decent home and had mediocre parents. There is this idea that psychopaths and sociopaths are some how not inherently evil, well they are inherently selfish aholes with zero remorse or empathy. They will sell you a happy "I'm capable of being a reasonable person" right up until they stab you to death. They love fools who will fall for their BS blame shifting and see them as redeemable.. easy prey.
The one problem with your approach is that I'm like 90% sure that Stefan Molyneux doesn't view women as people.
He actually doesn't. His philosophy is based around the idea that all evil in the world is tied down to bad mothers who have sex with "bad men" and make bad children. He has gone onto Taylor Swift and other famous women's twitters to admonish them about having careers while begging them to settle down to produce more offspring before their "uterus' become unviable." To Molynaux women are a means of producing men. All women can be divided into good categories: women that make good mothers vs women that make bad mothers. The most important thing a woman can do is marry a good man and produce good sons.

Stephan: “this is entirely the fault of the parents and had nothing to do with misogyny.”
Then continues to explain an incredibly normal an uneventful childhood that almost everybody has and some would be lucky to have.
I mean, the man in his biggest points is essentially blaming the women in his life for his actions. He’s hardly doing any justice for the victims
I noticed a lot of serial killers do this too. Even if they also have an incredibly abusive dad in the picture, they still blame their mom and it’s like 🙃
@@Sarah-re7cg In a patriarchal society, men think they are entitled to make all the decisions, that includes attributing blame to whomever they feel like for bad decisions or unmet expectations. Women are an easy target in these systems due to being socialized to accept abuse and injustice and having disproportionate expectations to protect their families. Incels are just contributing to the cycle and getting mad when it works therefore making the world worse. They don't want partners, they want punching bags to reproduce with continuing the cycle with their own kids (kid witnessing abuse and carrying it out in their own relationships).
@@Sarah-re7cg well you need to consider how having an abusive dad led them to internalize the world, I imagine it would twist your thoughts about what is supposed to be the case as a coping mechanism
@@eVill420 there’s a fine line to dance there. Not all misogynists are products of trauma and not all products of trauma are misogynists. They can be both raging misogynists and products of trauma. Usually they use trauma as something to hang their misogynistic hats on.
These people seem to think that ideology has no effect on people’s actions.
@brandon roberts It does. The materials are there, all you need are people motivated enough to take those to the extreme. Those motivations however often comes independent of said materials. 'Oh, the west is responsible for your misery, let's go teach them a lesson.'
They don't really believe that. If they did they wouldn't bother spreading their ideology. It's just an excuse they make to distract people.

Elliot Roger: *recounts a normal developmental experience for a teenager*
Stefan: Yet another straw that leads to MASS MURDER.
Theoretically he is technically correct. For as long as we have had societies we have had empty vessel sociopaths/psychopaths.

This would be so pants-pissingly hilarious if it weren't actually true.

Sum Arbor McVeigh wasn’t a psychopath, he was an anarchist with very clear and stated motives.
The fact that Stephen thinks that anti-misogyny is a political stance to take, says a lot.
He doesn't like women like at all i think he might be a virgin
Stefan: It's disrespectful to the victims when people [liberals] try to make political statements out of tragedies like this one.
Stefan: *Proceeds to push his political agenda based on the tragedy.*
Typically a agenda is informed by opinion.
The political agenda is? That Hollywood is mostly filled with left-leaning people (fact) and that Elliot Rodger targetted people based on their race (fact) and gender (fact). Those are just facts. What can you refute it with?
@@Rellikan ummm.. And none of that had anything to do with the post.. Need to work harder at changing the subject.
@@byronnotbryon8605 Not changing the subject. Stefam was focusing on the straws that created the horrible person that is Elliot Rodger. That is not disrespectful. If you went to the original video you would find that one of the parents of the victims actually posted a thank you comment about it.
And you missed the point that he pushed his polictical beliefs as straws after saying liberals shouldn't push their beliefs in conjunction with his manifesto.
That clip of Stefan Molyneux on race is the epitome of 'I'm not racist, _but_ ...'
It's "I'm not racist, but" to the third power
Absolutely.
“...but I am an empiricist!”
Thank God Elliot Rodger is at least half white! 🙄 Well, AND had pale complexion. If this was a half white/half black man I kiiinda doubt he'd be so kind.

@@AnHeC decades of research that has been disproven decades ago? You're categorically wrong, sit with that.
I just find it ironic that Stefan says others will exploit Elliot for their own purposes and then literally exploits Elliot for his own purposes.
To Stefan, it's only a bad thing if liberals do it.
Thats because Stefan isnt exploiting Elliot, he is with him. Stefan is defending Elliot, that whole video is a essay about how is not Elliot fault, but of the people around him (mostly his parents)
@@FenixIzyuze That's even worse, but I'll accept the criticism.
@@FenixIzyuze murder for something that isn't self-defense is always the murderers' fault, nothing from mental health to bad childhoods is a cause for murder. It can be a explantation for why they thought/acted a certain way but no one pulls the trigger but themselves. Defending or blaming others them doesn't do any good cause it takes away the blame.
Stefan: "Lets not make this political".
Also Stefan: "Elliot became a murderer because of the commies".
Something: *occurs*
Stefan: This is surely the fault of single moms.
That's basically him. Lol. I remember watching one of his videos years ago in which he interviews a woman simply because she wasn't a single mom. That's literally it.. I guess it's such an accomplishment to him that it warranted a whole interview.
Yeah, really. The man has some serious parent complexes.

Elliot had an extremely privileged childhood. All those ‘super terrible’ experiences he described are nothing more than some unpleasant moments almost every kid has to go through. Yet guys like Stefan try so hard to portray him as some ‘poor guy’ who was terribly wronged by his parents and by society so that he basically had no other choice than to kill people. That’s an insult to the millions of people in this world who actually had terrible childhoods and were beaten, abused, neglected by their parents or by others and who still somehow managed not to go on a killing spree and hating half of the Earth’s population. But yeah, poor Elliot had to go to a camp once and random women didn’t just come up to him and sucked his dick because he bought himself some nice expensive stuff. What an injustice!!! Poor little Elliot!!!

Molyneux lives in my country, and it makes me sick that he uses Canada as a base for his promotion of hate, especially against women, who are usually called SJWs or "feminists," immigrants, even though he is one, so non-white immigrants, and other targets of fascism. He incites violence against these targets. We had never had a mass killing in Canada before the alt right and Trump era, with it's endorsement of racism and other forms of hatred. Already we have had two mass killings, both by white men who learned their hateful right wing propaganda on line. fuck the free speech of fascists and others who obviously don't believe in free speech except for themselves.

I only have one nitpick with this video, which is that My Twisted World isn't, as you and most others call it, a manifesto, at least not primarily. It is first and foremost an autobiography. It's actually striking how much time he spends narrating seemingly irrelevant events and how little time spelling out an ideology or agenda. I think this is important because the reason Elliot wrote an autobiography is because _he wanted_ us to do what Molyneux does, to understand his crime in terms of his experiences and how he personally was wronged by society, to see him as a victim of circumstance. So it's very easy for Molyneux to talk about building up straws, because that's what Elliot's book itself is implicitly doing. Molyneux is just taking it at face value, which is obviously a pretty questionable way to approach a book like this.
THANK YOU! I was thinking the exact same thing! Rodger is an unreliable narrator, period, and for Stefan to take it at face value either shows an incredible lack of forethought OR a calculated oversight to push his own agenda. I don’t know which would be worse.
On point
This 💯 He wrote the narrative that got him to his actions, so picking through it and 1) using to find the reason for his crime and 2) taking it all at face value is isn’t exactly adding value to that conversation.

Stefan takes Elliot at his word 100% of the time which is very strange. This kid was clearly emotionally erratic and had a very strange and twisted view of the world. You don't think that worldview colored the way he wrote this manifesto, Stefan?

BREAKING: raging racist misogynist didn't like an African woman that's more successful than he
That was my thinking when this manifesto came out, like...how much of this tripe can we REALLY take at face value??
It definitely comes across as weird for Molyneux to sympathise with every single trivial complaint rather than dismissing it as self-centred whining. I wonder how he would have approached this if Rodger was a woman.
It's disrespectful to the victims to politicize this. Anyway, he did it because of liberalism

Stefan talks about things that most kids are forced to do by their parents like some kind war crime against Elliot
I'm all about trying improving these issues ingrained in our culture, but these things are like... the most typical growing up experience of everyone I've every known or heard about.

@@hlf3769 I'm addressing you if that's what you mean
@ravioliandsalsiccia Since you don’t do a good job of writing coherent sentences, I’m going to address what I can surmise.
Firstly, nobody is suggesting that women are incapable of wrongdoing, just that they aren’t responsible for causing a mass murder because they wouldn’t sleep with the man who committed it.
Secondly, nobody is suggesting that Stefan is personally responsible for inciting Elliot either, just that Stefan’s political ideology mirrors Elliot’s in a very apparent way, and that his attempts to depoliticize the event seems to be in an effort to distract people from that.
Of course, I expect you to dismiss both of this response out of hand, because I have little faith in someone who came to these sorts of conclusions despite all reason to be very capable of meaningful self-reflection, but regardless, know that you’re wrong.
You are completely warped if you think all or even people questioning why a killer would have killed people are sympathizers. Most people question things because they don't understand them and are looking for answers to explain. Very few people actually align with a killers warped perspective. People are just trying to make sense of it all. People want to know what makes murderers murder so that it can be prevented.
You're are deluded to think that if someone is trying to reason why he did it from his own thoughts and perspective that they agree with him. No sane person is going to say yeah because of his sexual frustration it was fine that he murdered people or that it was justified in any way.
Also your misogynist comment does not make sense. People sympathize with people who have alleged raped people because false convictions happen often enough where people worry about if the person is innocent.
My childhood was similar to Eliot Rodgers, in the framework that Stephan uses here. In many ways it was much less trivial, instead of being unprepared for summer camp, I was unprepared for the many illnesses my father would face, unsure if each hospital visit would be the last time I saw him alive. My mother was cruel and abused prescription pills, buying them from people she worked with with money we didn’t have. I was isolated, homeschooled my whole life and taught a warped worldview that I learned was utterly untrue at a late age. I even found lewd pictures of my mother on my dads laptop.
Somehow I didn’t turn out to be a murderer and a racist. Big Joel is absolutely correct in his assessment that Eliot Rodger is a monster of his own creation, and the thing largely responsible for eliots crimes is Eliot.

Fashion trends, Instagram girls, having the latest piece of technology, being able to take expensive trips etc. These are all things that are not virtuous.

Even when told they are making someone uncomfortable or scared they come off with you just aren't used to people being nice to you.
Nice is respecting people boundaries. Nice is letting people get to know you at their own speed and not pushing.
Nice is understanding that some just isn't into you for whatever reason and respecting that.

Stefan is right to feel vindicated about how easy it was for him to stage a talk in Poland. Racial homogeneity produces significantly less crime and a lot more community trust. Studies have been conducted about this between communities with varying racial diversity in the US.
The authors have hesitated to publish their work for years trying to reach different conclusions.
Gigajoule Candy when you zero into police placements, crime data and wealth in the neighborhood Americans and Europeans see a predominantly black and brown representation in crime are in part because of these over representations, but people like you must also recognize is that education and access to capital (like an iMac, or other “luxuries“) you wouldn’t see the level of crime because crime is downstream from poverty and if u really care about it you have to address it
Gigajoule Candy Of course the study would say that Dumbass racism is extremely prevalent and wholly inescapable, past and present. Who’s surprised? Nobody. I bet they didn’t want to publish it because they thought if people read it they would think they were racists, a fact that is lost on the real racists who hold up that work as any kind of tangible proof of segregation or mass deportation or mass murder would be a good thing. Libertarian my ass, you’re another dumb Republican who hates the word Republican
@@andrewthen8998 Crime is not downstream from poverty. The Appalachian Mountains, predominantly white are some of the poorest communities in the US. Their crime rates defy the notion that poverty causes or is highly correlated with crime.
Crime causes poverty, not the other way around.
The Scottish, the Irish, the English and the Welsh used to engage in open warfare against one another for their differences in culture and ethnicity. History has many examples were violence was applied along clear inter-racial and inter-ethnic lines.
You realise the authors were left leaning. Also you are a bigot if you automatically assume someone is racist for showing facts that hurt your feelings.
They would have been called racist by narrow-minded bigots like you if they had not taken the time and effort to sit and bend their conclusions in ways that avoided such rash accusations.
Believe it or not some people that disagree with you are not evil tyrants. We have principles that we stand by; universal ethics that are not withdrawn for personal or political gain. Do not project your lack of principles onto to us. The Non-Aggression Principle is vehemently in direct collision of any form of violence. Mass murder is not moral and does not follow NAP. Violating people's freedom of assembly and association is not viable with NAP. Mass deportation of legal citizens and migrants through coercion or violent force is not in congruent with NAP.
Initiating violence or coercion is not a part of the NAP.

when Molyneux says "I'm an empiricist", you can feel just how smart he thinks this makes him sound.
One would also think that if Molyneux was honest, he would consider that Elliot Rodger may be what is called an Unreliable Narrator.
Notice how everything in Elliot's life wasn't just bad but some other person's fault?
Tbh I always just assumed that was Elliot being his usual “psychologically incapable of taking responsibility” self.
悪妖怪Evil Darth YōkaiXالشر شبح It is, and by extension he becomes an Unreliable Narrator
OK, so he's an unreliable narrator, _except_ when it comes to the white supremisogyny stuff which is the super-cereal product of a lucid and rational mind? Are those the _only_ parts of the Manifesto that are reliable, then?
@@The_Mighty_Fiction yes
@@The_Mighty_Fiction like everything else, those parts are his ideological conclusions he ended up at by blaming everyone else. I dont get why you're trying to reach there.

Going back to this video, I think there’s a big point you missed. Stefan takes everything Elliot days as fact. He sympathizes with him more than he does the victims. He believes him and rids him of guilt by exercising each excuse Elliot makes. A rational, skeptic reader would read Elliot’s manifesto and learn more about Elliot from it than they would learn about the world. Stefan, on the other hand, seems to have learned nothing about Elliot, and instead taken the manifesto as gospel, with the goal of learning about the world from it.
Needless to say, it’s disgustingly rude and abhorring to the victims. For one supposedly so obsessed with respect, he seems to not care how much he sees eye-to-eye with their murderer.
He doesn’t look like someone who would worship him
Yeah, it's obvious that Elliot was a privileged narcissist that acted like everyone was out to get him whenever something didn't go his way. The summer camp story for example is basically just "boo hoo, my parents made me go outside as a kid instead of letting me play video games inside all summer"
@@thespiceman9367 And, as was pointed out in this video, he _liked_ summer camp-just like his parents believed that he would.
Boy oh boy, Stefan sure knows how to talk to his audience.
"YES! Stefan! YES! Every single unpleasant thing that happens to me IS enormously significant."

Alex Smith I’m gonna quote this comment someday, thank you :)
If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that when someone pulls off a murder/suicide you should totally take their own word for everything that happened in their life because it's likely accurate and not sociopathic
Honestly I can take him at his word because his childhood sounds genuinely solid for the most part.
It seems people like Stephan are so quick to remove any sort of agency from these murderers and place the blame anywhere else (read women).
And the thing that gets me most about that line of thinking is that there are countless scores of people who have endured exponentially more pain and trauma and hardship than any elliot roger ever experienced and they never shot anyone.
Stop coddling violent men with toxic ideologies and hold them accountable for their actions smh.
ocelotl muñoz And the so,ution to it all is .... more of the "free" market! 🤨
I agree about molyneux and his agenda
The thing about "people had it harder and THEY didn't shoot anyone" is a problem though honestly. Obviously there are components of violence in how many cultures raise young men, but i mean by the same logic, lots of young men don't shoot people. There was something wrong with him, his parents maybe sucked, it was a perfect storm and there was no adequate intervention. And he should not have had access to guns in the first place.
Just in terms of research, not him specifically, some people experience extreme adversity and turn out basically fine or even great because they have temperamental resilience and they have some level of support no matter how small. Really it can be almost nothing. Other people cut a swath of destruction through the world after experiencing much less adversity, because they don't have those resources to deal with it. It affects their brain and entire body.
The reason this is important is that WE, as citizens, as community members, can have an effect on this, but making it seem like an individual problem will not help. It's not an individual problem. "Psychopaths" develop as kids before they ever have a chance to become someone else. That's not on them that's on the adults around them.
@@no_peace there does come a point though that it's no longer society's problem and that of the individual. Yes, we can say if maybe society wasn't so based in puritan/conservative views of sex, sexual orientation, and gender roles then he wouldnt have believed what he did. If his parents or friends caught on to his beliefs and tried to help him. If someone saw that he was struggling with mental illness and helped him seek help
The fact of the matter is is that he ended up committing a crime. He himself decided to do that and by blaiming it on society it doesn't excuse that fact. Basically, everyone likes to excuse their actions by blaiming it on other things instead of taking personal responsibility (I know I've done it before although I try not to)
Should we as a society all try to look out for this behaviour and help those who fall into it? Yes, absolutely but not at the cost of your personal safety, mental wellbeing, and rights. I can't force these people to go to therapy or get help, I can only suggest it. And at that point, it's no longer society's fault, but theirs for refusing help
@@xenonsan3110 I'm sorry if this is a bit too nit-picky, but blaming puritan/conservative values of gender and sexuality and a lack of professional help (which he actually did receive) is a stretch in the same manner as Molyneux blaming liberalism. You're projecting your world view into this situation, which is counterproductive.
@@theash4361 it's not nit picky don't worry! Of course there are a million other things that could contribute to this situation. It's not solely one person's fault or one evil in society. I just know that personally those values harmed me growing up and I had to hid my sexuality and gender among many other things. I didnt have alot of healthy relationships until recently because subconsciously I was still thinking of the gender roles projected on me growing up. Do all conservative values and puritan values affect everyone like this? No, some of them honestly are very good values to have (such as finances). I'm just offering one explanation of many :)

The more I learn about him, the creepier and creepier Stefan Molyneux becomes.
Eggs
I know you're creepy but what about me?
Look, I had stepmom problems. I got rejected by lots of girls. I experienced shame over perfectly normal adolescent feelings. I had bad experiences at summer camp. I even went to an elementary school with too many complicated, arbitrary rules. But instead of murdering people, I went to therapy and transed my gender. Now I'm a relatively well-adjusted weirdo.
i feel like transing your gender does solve alot of problems unknown to you in your adolescence
That's the thing, none of Elliot's described life experiences are super unusual. Many people have messy and frustrating romance (in)experience when they're teenagers. Many people will have some unpleasant moments at summer camps. Many will be confused by the rigid structure of elementary school. There's nothing special about all this.,
if you pop enough straws on the camel, you've got yourself a strawman
This deserves more upvotes.
@Christopher Stanley Uhm, the straw is atop the camel.
I know there are instances, when one camel is somehow on top of another, but in these instances the upper camel is more towards the rear end of the lower camel.
But when you put the straw onto the camel's back, it's in the place of a human rider. Therefore, it'll form a straw man, not a straw camel.
Now I wonder what straw camels might have to do with needle eyes.

I mean he just says in the most political corectness way that it's because of video game and the lost of tradition like stay sexually abstinent when you have kids, anti-divorce, anti-prostition and pornography, that's conservatism, that's a political agenda.
Life it's a political agenda. Anyone who says otherwise is trying to push a political agenda. Usually an anti-life one.
Late response, but no, you're far from the only one to point this out. I've seen tons of comments saying the same thing.
Who the hell would talk about their sexual desires/fantasies with their parents?
These MEN (us), have obssession with sex and sexuality. Isn't about what it feels exactly but what it represents, so it makes sense that adolescents struggle with this concept and need adult's help.
But at the same time: ILL
Даниель Гарсия Well that's the thing about human experience though. Sure, if we could cultivate some perfect, lab tested way of developing a healthy childhood, maybe that would be something really great and helpful, but that still doesn't mean it isn't perfectly normal and definitely not outright dangerous that teenagers are private about their sexuality. Almost all of them are, and almost none of them become what Elliot roger Became
Stefan Molyneux probably did that
mia And what kind of creepy ass parent would be poking his/her nose into their son's/daughter's private evolving sexuality?
@@molvania6330 Sure, that's fine, talking about this as a young adult, but in adolescence people tend to be way less open about it. And tbf even your particular relationship with your parents in regards to sex is not the norm. But yeah, it can happen and I feel if we didn't shame people who are into sex (aka most people) - something that Molyneux does here, for example - it would be easier and healthier to talk to your parents about sex. After all, they are there to help you and they have more experience.
At 22 years old there is plenty of time in life to lose your virginity. Hard to imagine someone that desperate that they think it will never happen.

It is REALLY uncomforting to see a man like Molyneaux fall into the "nice guy" mentality. It reminds us that this doesn't just exist in online forums of young men, this mentality is in the real world and it's dangerous.
This man has a wife! Not only did he fall into the nice guy trap, but he did so despite actually getting a woman to sleep with him! That's what really baffles me: it's one shitty thing to be angry because you feel entitled to sex and don't have it, but for someone to feel angry _on behalf_ of people who feel entitled to have sex and don't?
I was an unsuccesful teenage boy just a few years before incel culture became a real thing, all we had was basic memes about nice guys, without a whole political Mysoginistic ideology backing it up. If i was born a few years later and i would definitely have been part of this big hate group cause of rejection and feeling unwanted.
"Please don't politicise this tragedy" usually means "political views I agree with helped to cause this tragedy".
I feel like one of the problems with his assessment is that he’s taking a lot of what’s in the manifesto at face value, not necessarily considering the person it’s coming from. Jumping through hoops and finding ‘straws on camels’ to justify a literal interpretation of events without considering the likelihood that the specifics of things that “happened to” Elliot Rogers by his own account are exaggerated if not outright falsified by nature of his own delusions.
Clearly done because Stefan Molyneux knows that his own political beliefs are the real cause of the violence and is using as many excuses to distract from that fact
Alt-Right demagogues can't operate in a framework that admits unreliable narrators exist, it would make what they're doing too obvious
Exactly, that's precisely what happened as well, there's stuff from his stepmother(Soumiya) who actively tried to help him, cooked for him, etc. At one point he writes about how she made him some "disgusting soup" which is a traditional dish in Morocco, where she's from, and not gross at all, but the way he writes it, it's like she cooked something she knew he would definitely hate to "punish him". He saw women saying they weren't interested as purposefully trying to hurt him.
The words I've heard in regard to this kind of outlook is "wound collecting"--i.e. this collection of situations where they purposefully see everything they don't like, or find ways to dislike things, in order to justify an attack on people or a group of people they already don't like. He wrote what was essentially, the list of wounds he'd felt he collected, and he clearly was not a remotely liable narrator and reading through it, you cannot take his word as truth. I understand that it's how he *felt* things happened, but it clearly was not how they actually happened.
@Ddiaboloer Depressing as it is to contemplate, I think there's a fair chance that Molyneux genuinely doesn't comprehend that his ideology was the cause of what Rodger did - though I do agree he's certainly invested in trying to prove otherwise. I don't think people like Rodger or Molyneux have ever in their lives truly understood or even questioned the motivations behind their own words and actions, and aren't interested in doing so. It's all just knee-jerk reactions followed by rationalizations after the fact. People like that cannot/won't ever truly ask themselves whether their emotions, like a feeling of being mistreated by being made to go to school, might be unjustified. They can only infer that anything they don't enjoy inherently IS mistreatment. Likewise, Molyneux doesn't like the idea of being (held) responsible for what Rodger did, so to him that means he just simply isn't.
@@Yoarashi yes, I think this is a pretty spot on description of the mindset of people like molyneaux and other far right agitators. They entirely lack self reflection or understanding

He practiced self-isolation at different points in time. He had people reach out to him to be his friend, and he rejected them.

Omg the world ends because my parent doesn't want me to sit at home unsupervised. He had a BMW, didn't have to worry about paying for college, probably would have a had a good job...PROBABLY WOULD HAVE FOUND A GF EVENTUALLY. Damn some people are late bloomers. Most people can't have a quality relationship until they are stable enough to be in one. And to say he didn't believe the stuff he said, come on bro. Thats like saying Kanye don't believe what he is saying. Its ironic that they keep repeating the same thing in different ways for years. But your not supposed to believe him. His parents should have been more responsible for him, and making sure they taught him the skills to connect with other people. Honestly i seen his videos...and he didnt have a good personality, and he chose to an ass to people.
And to blanket this with his mental illness. Does a disservice to the millions of people who have mental health issues and don't kill people.
Most incels always scream how great they are, how much they have, how great of a catch they are..but when you look at them and their history. They do not have great PERSONALITIES, they want women to be beneath them. Most women are not going to be with feeling less than in a relationship.
Stefan: I started talking to my daughter in the womb
Stefan Molyneux to his unborn daughter: "You, my daughter, are already a second class citizen as it should and always will be. You are the death of society and the scourge of man. You are destined to subjugate yourself to a man who will hit you because he loves you and your innate worth is less than his. Love you as an object!"
And if your husband or child turns out to be a bad person thats your fault. Not theirs, lets not even bring up how they have control over their own lives.
@@brain_apostrophe_t besides the fact that your comment seems irrelevant to the point I made; That Stefan treats women as less than human. I would say all though no parent would eve be at fault they should be considered a factor. To say "parents play no factor in the way a person turns out" would be fallacious. And obviously the amount of influence parents have on their kids varies by case. But they certainly play a large roll in the development of the person typically.

As a psychology student, I do like to look at the circumstances in someone's life that could have led them to a certain point, all the different factors that could contribute to an unusual and tragic outcome. However, an important aspect that's often overlooked is that we DON'T and CAN'T know every single thing that happened in a person's life. As detailed as Elliot Roger's manifesto is, it's only a narrow, biased window into what HE thought were the things that led him to that point. It's impossible to be truly objective about yourself (and about others, for that matter) and we have no way of knowing what details were left out, made up, or warped. I haven't read the whole thing myself, but it's clear from what I have seen that much of what he mentions are things he's using for his own justification, trying to use to explain why he ended up like that even if it may be an illusory correlation. There ARE a lot of factors involved in this, certainly, but in the end it was his own decision to get involved in the ideology he did and plan out such a heinous event, not only because of the things that shaped his life, but how he reacted to them and chose to cope.
^This. I've been trying to get this across for ages, that the Manifesto is just being used in a tug-of-blame between people trying to pull the whole thing over to their agenda. Question; as a psychology student, do you have any knowledge of psycho-pharmaceuticals? Rodger was apparently coming off risperidone, and I've read that withdrawal has a bunch of possible side effects, hallucinations, delusions, dissociation, suicidal mood swings and so on. I'm wondering if this might've been a factor in this and similar cases.
@@The_Mighty_Fiction I have only limited knowledge of anti-psychotics, but it seems that Rodgers refused to take the medication he was perscribed at all, so I don't believe he would have been suffering from withdrawl effects. However, as a result of not taking the medication at all, the symptoms of what it was supposed to be treating would still be present and potentially getting worse, as they may have in his case. It's uncertain what specifically he was diagnosed with to be given this medication to my knowledge, but risperidone is used to treat mood disorders (most commonly schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and irritability associated with autism), so we can infer his diagnosis was likely something along those lines and the symptoms of that could very likely be a contributing factor to his actions.
Sure and its inherently difficult to pinpoint everything because everyone is different, exist on a spectrum and are triggered in different ways differently at any one moment. If there is an algorithm to predict behaviour, it will inevitably be individualistic and infinite due to infinite quasalities. Point is: not every behaviour is excusable just because it can be understandable.
Reading the manifestos or musings of hideous criminals can have a corrosive effect on the reader. They all blame victims and use reason and logic as expedient tools. It's like holding a coloured lens up to the world and looking at the distorted image that results. John E Duncan's blog the Fifth Nail is an amazing example. If we find ourselves informed in any way though, that's a failing in our critical reading. Anders Breivik and the Columbine shooters faced the same troubles as anyone else, but chose to snap and lash out as a grab for relevance. Stefan is just a very weak version of that same hateful, warped outlook.
