[Max Cow Disease]

While I certainly am on board with a private organization like Youtube being able to shutter whichever content they wish, I do find the Molyneux situation to be worthy of some conversation. I'm not a fan of the guy and he's definitely a bit of a weirdo in most respects, but I'd contend that he isn't really an espouser of hate speech per se, and certainly isn't a Nazi (or even a white supremacist).

It may just be that he's adept enough at tightrope walking on the fringe that he conceals his true motives, but from what I've seen of his content, his primary thrust seems to be advocacy of anarcho-capitalist ideology. He's definitely anti-immigration (not very anarcho-capitalist, I know), but his ethnic differences/race+IQ stuff hasn't ever fit the definition of white supremacy if you ask me (a strain of white nationalism at most, perhaps?). He filmed a documentary in Poland that seemed to irreversibly convince him of the benefits of a more ethnically homogeneous society, but hasn't ever approached anything like support for ethnic cleansing, as some in this thread have asserted.

I suppose I'm just not sure about what finally prompted Youtube to extinguish his channel. He'd been on there for something like a decade and a half, so what was the final straw that rendered a guy like him beyond the pale? Was it the meme identity that had formed around him as being a Nazi or radical right-winger? Was it individual pieces of content he'd posted more recently? Was it what Youtube determined to be dangerous views among his following? I'd be intrigued to know what goes in to the process.
