Freedomain Radio - Stefan Molyneux - Why Deplatforming Works Aired: 2025-06-18 Duration: 04:52 === De-Platforming Dangers (04:19) === [00:00:00] De-platforming works because if they move me one website over, in fact, you can go to onewebsiteover.com, onewebsiteover.com. [00:00:10] If they move me one website over, I'm gone, baby. [00:00:16] I'm gone. [00:00:18] That's why it works. [00:00:20] Because typing in, say, youtube.com, I can do that. [00:00:26] Right? [00:00:26] But typing in freedomain.com or, you know, subscribing off the other video platforms that I'm on, well, that's just not possible, man. [00:00:33] I can only do so much. [00:00:34] Steph, you should absolutely risk life and limb, have your reputation shredded, have your finances, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. [00:00:41] You should absolutely take all these risks for the cause of truth, reason, and liberty. [00:00:47] But man, if they ask me to go one website over... [00:00:51] I mean, come on, man, I'm only human. [00:00:52] That's like... [00:00:57] So, you know, you get that I was kind of dangling over a precipice right back in the day. [00:01:03] And I do that, you know, I have a particular skill slash homoerotic fetish for truth. [00:01:12] So I get that I'm willing to sort of take those risks. [00:01:15] But all the people who are saying, wow, you're still around. [00:01:19] I used to love your work, man. [00:01:20] I don't know what happened to you. [00:01:21] It's like, I'm one website over. [00:01:24] You know, so this is my analogy. [00:01:26] You know, whether I'm right or wrong, I'll just sort of give you my analogy and you can tell me whether it makes any sense at all, right? [00:01:32] So I know a lot of y 'all were very passionate about the work that I did and I absolutely, completely, totally and deeply, humbly appreciate that with every last fiber of my soul. [00:01:42] But it's like, imagine I'm your best friend, right? [00:01:49] And I've been... [00:01:55] Let's call her Anna, right? [00:01:57] Because nothing's better than a good palindrome of lust. [00:02:00] So, Anna. [00:02:02] I love Anna. [00:02:03] Anna's the greatest. [00:02:04] She's the one. [00:02:05] She's my soulmate, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. [00:02:06] And I'm dating Anna, and it's going along fantastically, man. [00:02:09] We're going to get married. [00:02:11] We're going to have babies together. [00:02:12] that we're going to found an empire of truth, lust, reason, and growth. [00:02:16] And then, Anna... [00:02:26] Instead of 779 Main Street, she's 781 Main Street. [00:02:33] She is one house over. [00:02:39] And you say, how are things with Anna? [00:02:42] This woman you were so passionate about and loved and were going to make family, babies, dynasty, everything. [00:02:49] Love of your life. [00:02:50] Twin soul. [00:02:51] She completed you. [00:02:54] And I say, oh, God, Anna, that's right. [00:02:59] Jeez. [00:03:01] Oh, that's so funny. [00:03:02] I have not thought about Anna in, oh, gosh, months, really. [00:03:10] And then you say, what? [00:03:13] God, what happened? [00:03:14] What terrible thing happened? [00:03:18] That you completely forgot about Anna, love of your life, light of your heart, twin of your soul. [00:03:25] Plato's Play-Doh merging together in one swirl of united color. [00:03:30] What happened, man? [00:03:32] What terrible tragedy happened? [00:03:34] And I say, oh, yeah. [00:03:38] Well, she moved like a house further away. [00:03:46] Wouldn't you be like, what now? [00:03:48] Sorry, did I... [00:03:54] This love of your life moved one house further away and you forgot about her completely? [00:04:01] I mean, how ADHD are you, brother? [00:04:04] Wouldn't that be a strange thing to He's not showing up in my feed and I'm helpless to do any kind of search. [00:04:15] What was the name of that show? [00:04:16] Was it... === FreeDomain.com (00:33) === [00:04:19] No? [00:04:20] Free Domain? [00:04:21] Free Domain? [00:04:24] Oh, yeah. [00:04:25] Okay, let me just try FreeDomain.com. [00:04:29] And Anna comes back, topless, doing the Dance of the Seven Veils, grinding you like a pepper shaker, doing the kind of lap dance that has your hips become two-dimensional. [00:04:43] One website over! [00:04:45] But apparently, for a lot of people, that's just a bridge too far. [00:04:47] And that's why deplatforming works. [00:04:50] I'd just be straight up. [00:04:51] I'd just be straight up.
