RE: Former Antifa or Radical Left? I encountered a Stefan Molyneux caller today who was former Antifa.

I can understand why you were so captivated / intrigued with this conversation. It was the type of insightful and balanced convo I found so compelling when Molyneux was more of a truth seeker than a biased manipulator, who often doesn't give callers the empathy and basic respect they deserve.

In part I believe this convo was more balanced and exploratory than many b/c the caller's intelligence was a better match to Molyneux's, and he presented himself without dramatic emotions and irrationality. The caller came off as very open and sincere, and clearly well thought out which seemed to disarm Molyneux's desire to "make an example" of him as well as trying to steer and focus the convo on the caller's childhood and failure of parenting. That was indeed explored but not dwelt upon to consume the entire scope of the convo. The flow of the convo seemed very natural and genuinely inquisitive by both people.

If I had one main take away it would be that Molynuex didn't seem to be pushing the convo to highlight his own perspective, rather he allowed the caller to go where he wanted while acknowledging and answering the questions put forth to him.

Lastly I really commend the caller for his reason for wanting to share his story, that it might help others who are seeking truth but finding little of it in their circle of people. It was geared towards helping others escape the matrix they find themselves in to a higher plane of truth in "the real word".

Exactly. I have a challenge listening to many Molyneux videos in their entirety. This particular one kept me captivated for its entirety and thus was why I thought it worth posting about it.

I do like Molyneux fine, he has his flaws just like was all do, but generally his longer videos do not keep me rapt and focused like this one did. I believe it largely was for the same reasons you so accurately described in your reply.
