I remember him back when he was running that weird cult out of his radio show. That was over 10 years ago and I think it's been forgotten about due to him becoming an outright neo-nazi in the time since then. But early on, Molyneux had this radio show, called something like Freedom Radio. He was a Libertarian back then and it was at the height of the Ron Paul Libertarian craze and all the anti-government counter culture with the conspiracy theorist crowds in the wake of Obama's first term.
Molyneux was literally a cult leader with his radio show, as he targeted teenagers and was trying to convince them through his shows that their parents did not have their best interests in mind, and if they were smart, they would not trust their parents but trust him instead, because he's giving them THE TRUTH™ about the world. There was cases of teenagers running away from home due to being brainwashed by this maniac and one that committed suicide after running away from his parents. Again, this was all over a decade ago and seems to be forgotten about since then.
He has changed since then, going from Libertarian to AnCap all the way to full blown neo-nazi.
Thanks for this reply, I remembered it but couldn't remember the name. When I was younger and going through my reactionary Libertarian phase, I noticed there was a vocal group of Libertarians who hated him and would accurately call him out for running a cult. It was sorta forgotten about as the years went by when the Libertarians started getting crazier and moving further to the right.
I want to say the Trayvon Martin shooting was the big turning point that made most Libertarians go full mask off with their racism and do a 180 spin when it came to talking about authoritarianism and police.
