Summary

Tuesday Evening Flash Twitter Space 26 August 2025

In this Twitter/X Space, philosopher Stefan Molyneux examines the alarming news from the UK regarding systemic grooming and exploitation, condemning institutional failures to protect the vulnerable and questioning modern feminism’s response. Stefan shares his philosophical perspective on anarchism, emphasizing the need for ongoing ethical improvements in society. The discussion critiques the lack of courage within movements to confront exploitation and includes a caller's perspective on authoritarianism versus voluntary societies. We conclude by stressing the importance of critical thinking and personal responsibility in advocating for moral integrity and social progress.

0:00.0	All right, we're back. Sorry about that.
0:01.8	A little bit of a technical hiccup, but I forewent my usual greeting this evening and said,
0:09.5	I actually, I hope you're not doing well.
0:11.1	I hope that you are having a bad time of it at the moment.
0:15.0	The news out of the UK, of course, is completely appalling, not just the news, but these appalling visuals of this.
0:20.8	This poor 12-year-old girl who was being protected. completely appalling, not just in use, but these appalling visuals of this,
0:26.2	this poor 12-year-old girl who was being protected by her 14-year-old sister,
0:32.6	who was wielding a knife and an axe in a medieval fashion, in a medieval style.
0:36.2	And, of course, you don't have to have a daughter as I do to just realize and recognize the desperation, how terrifying and appalling and how completely fucked up this situation is almost beyond the capacity of language to encapsulate.
0:48.3	And I hope that you're not doing well. I hope you're not doing well if you're in Scotland where this poor girl is from, I hope you're not doing well in Europe

1:11.6	I mean, there are reports of it back in the post-war period, post-second world war period,
1:15.6	in the 50s, certainly in the 60s, when I left England in the 70s,
1:19.6	and I'd heard tell of this kind of stuff.
1:21.6	And really for more than half a century, half a century, these completely fucked up authorities have
1:31.2	refused to deal with this issue. In fact, arguably, given what happened with Jimmy Seville and
1:36.8	other scions of British establishmentarianism, they like it, they prefer it, they inflict it, they indulge in it, they want it in some manner.
1:49.0	It's, again, it's almost impossible to conceive of that there are people who can see this
1:56.3	kind of stuff occurring across the entire country and not raise high holy hell, but instead bury it,
2:04.9	cover it up, and attack those who speak out about it. So I hope that this is a line in the sand
