Quotes by Stefan Molyneux

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 childrens 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 youre buying something with your taxes.

History is the same story with different costumes.

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.

Historical definition of a countrys borders... ...heres where my murder geography ends and your murder geography begins, at least until I get more murderers to expand my murder-fest.

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.

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.

An atheist who is a statist is just another theist.

Spiritual: religion without any rules. All the comfort of fictitious friends with none of their demands.

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 Boghossians book, A Manual for Creating Atheists)

A man goes to a foreign country and kills somebody whos not aggressing against him; in a Hawaiian shirt hes a criminal, in a green costume hes 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.

Can social progress be made without government?Its 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?.

The government is a giant logjam in the eternal river of human potential.

Democracy is a suggestion box for slaves.

The war is against children, and all the other wars are just a shadow of the war on children.

Government is a gun that shoots money at your enemy and blows up in your face.

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?.Its 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.

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).
