Namecheap: You’re going to get more moral depth from a cheap hooker.
The anti-freedom activist domain registrar Namecheap, having banned DailyStormer.lol because they think we are mean people, has issued a weird type of apology.
Half-assed would be an overstatement by at least four-fold. This is at best an eighth-assed apology.
Understand: Namecheap is a company which marketed itself on the idea that it supports the First Amendment. Then, they shut down our .lol based on a purposeful misinterpretation of this sarcastic statement, made in some Daily Stormer article somewhere at some point:
It doesn’t take a Ph.D. in mathematics to understand that White men + pride + organization = Jews being stuffed into ovens.
They did not provide context for the quote, but the thing is: it doesn’t need any context. It is obviously sarcastic/satirical.
A key point that we make is that the Jews claim that white people defending their own interests leads to Jews being Holocausted. They have made this argument since the war. They have also claimed that the traditional nuclear family leads to Jews being exterminated. That was written in Frankfurt School member Theodore Adorno’s “The Authoritarian Personality.” This is the basis for the Jewish project to destroy the family: they believe that if normal families exist, they will be gassed.
We have made it a point to mock this concept. We mock all sorts of Jewish concepts – we are engaged in a type of reverse critical theory. Or an untangling of critical theory, which is a noose tied around the neck of civilization.
Namecheap claimed to have studied our site in depth. If they had done that, they would understand that we use humor to mock ruling ideological dogmas. So either they lied about studying the site or they lied about believing that this quote amounted to “incitement of violence,” but it doesn’t matter either way, because even if it was simply stated straightforwardly – as in “we are literally planning to exterminate the Jews, in real life, using ovens” – it would still be First Amendment protected speech in these United States.
SCOTUS ruled in Brandenburg v. Ohio that in order for an incitement to violence to be illegal speech it must contain an imminent threat.
So Namecheap has blown their whole gimmick in order to pursue an absurd social justice agenda. I hope the company collapses. Whatever you believe about my beliefs, you should pull your domains from this company, now. Because they are working to destroy freedom of speech in this country in order to press a far-left political agenda.
Their apology was issued as an addendum to their original blog explaining why they dropped us:
Emphasis mine.
Addendum:
I woke up this morning feeling conflicted about our decision to pull down this domain. The fact is, this should have never had to be our decision. Yes the domain fits into our description of what constitutes incitement of violence and I believe that their violation of our ToS would hold up in a court of law. In reality, it was just the morally right thing to do here as this type of hateful speech and veiled call to violence really has no place on this Earth.. That is my personal belief and I would make the same decision again but it is just that, my personal opinion and a business decision. But is this the right thing for freedom of speech and should a registrar be the one making this decision? I don’t think so. In a perfect world, a registrar should be able to remain neutral in these situations regardless of public opinion but the fact of the matter is that this cannot happen in reality. Any business cannot operate under these circumstances due to the mob mentality and the nature of our current politics. As you well know, on the Internet, the truth can be turned and twisted and used as a tool to fit into any one group’s narrative.
Let me be frank here and I’ll repeat, this was the right decision for the human race but it was also an existential threat for our company. While I feel I made the right decision, I also thought about what this meant for us as a business. What it would mean for the dream we have to deliver everything we’ve imagined for the future of our platform to solve customer problems. More importantly, I thought about our 1100 team members that directly depend on this company for their livelihood and our millions of customers that depend on us for stability and peace of mind that we are keeping their domains safe. With these things in mind and as a leader of a company that has a direct responsibility to do what is best for our customers and our people, could I have made any other decision here? I don’t think I could have and therein lies the problem.
Registrars need a set of guidelines just as the internet does that empowers or requires them to remain neutral and a clear judicial process to solve these types of issues quickly and effectively. These matters should not be solved in the courts of public opinion because public opinion is not always right. I’ll refer you to a quote I read in an excellent piece written by our friends at the Electronic Frontier Foundation: “All fair-minded people must stand against the hateful violence and aggression that seems to be growing across our country. But we must also recognize that on the Internet, any tactic used now to silence neo-Nazis will soon be used against others, including people whose opinions we agree with. Those on the left face calls to characterize the Black Lives Matter movement as a hate group. In the Civil Rights Era cases that formed the basis of today’s protections of freedom of speech, the NAACP’s voice was the one attacked.” This is a powerful statement that clearly shows the dangers of compromising on freedom of speech. Depending on who is in power, it could be your belief system or community that is seen to be the evil one next.
The fact is, that all of us are walking a dangerous tightrope and this has the ability to morph into something that is much more evil than even these hateful Nazis we are dealing with today. At the very least, they are a vocal and an easy target that is in plain view that is easily countered. The real danger in my opinion is what lies invisible yet is the most dangerous force that anyone of us will ever know. That is the insidious and dangerous force of power. The power to control our thoughts, our privacy, our opinions and most importantly our speech that lies within the dark nature of absolute power itself and takes over seemingly well meaning politicians, presidents, governments, movements that then use this power against us. This is the real danger that we must all be watchful for.
In the end we all have a part and a responsibility to insure that everyone has a voice and platform to share their thoughts and beliefs as long as it allows for basic human and animal rights, even if it makes us feel uncomfortable. This is and should be a human right in and of itself.
Sincerely,
Richard Kirkendall
CEO, Namecheap
I don’t even think Richard Kirkendall is Jewish. He did this purely for social signaling purposes. Then he regretted it when he realized that the basis of his company was freedom of speech, and he just flushed that down the toilet. Now we can call on him to ban all sorts of people based on whatever.
And he’s right about his 1100 employees being in danger of losing their jobs – when your gimmick is free speech and you’re in the entire media for a decision to crush free speech on the grounds that a sarcastic joke is an incitement to violence and you flagrantly violate your own ToS in front of the whole world in order to pursue a far-left Bolshevik agenda, you have a company problem.
Richard “Assassin of Freedom” Kirkendall
And how dare he quote EFF – try to associate himself with them?
Where did you get that nerve, Richard?
EFF is defending me, because they are smart enough to know that the slippery slope is real and that the monster that you, GoDaddy, Google, Cloudflare and however many others have unleashed through this exile of me to the pedoweb is a monster that is always hungry.
And trust me, we are going to take advantage of it.
I’m getting a list of site’s registered on your service, and we’re going to see what you do support.
Because by giving up absolute neutrality out of some kind of bizarre fear that you would be implicitly endorsing the Daily Stormer if you kept us on, you are now EXPLICITLY endorsing everything in your registrar.
So we’re going to see what kind of politics you EXPLICITLY endorse, what type of porno you EXPLICITLY endorse – all of the rest of it.
And we’re going to publish that list in one of our Samizdat. And we’re going to pass it around – “things that Richard Kirkendall, CEO of Namecheap, EXPLICITLY endorses.”

What’s next, Kirkendall? Are you going to use your personal funds to contract MS-13 to hunt me down and chop my head off? Will you hire Jews to sacrifice my first born son to Moloch? Where does the Namecheap silencing-machine draw the line?
It needs to be said that your domains are the opposite of safe with Namecheap. Not only did they ban me, but they tried to fuck me in the most extreme was possible.
What this sonovabitch Richard Kirkendall did was immediately put the site up for sale, in the middle of the night. The purpose of this was to try and allow some antifa or otherwise communist group to buy the domain and put something offensive to my readership on there (judging from precedent, this probably would have been interracial homosexual pornography).
Thank God a friend of mine was awake to buy the domain.
If he was going to fuck me because he thought a joke was just too edgy, the least he could have done is put my domain on hold and allowed me to move it.
The company has also refused to issue a refund.
So whether or not you care about free speech or not, understand that if Richard Kirkendall doesn’t think a joke you make is funny, he will fuck you out of money and he will put your domains up for sale so that your political enemies or your business competitors or whoever else can buy the domains and use your traffic for their own purposes.
Namecheap is not just an anti-speech activist group, they are a criminal cartel.
This is who controls what you are allowed to think and say – people who will not only purposefully and/or out of complete stupidity misinterpret your jokes and make outrageous accusations against you and shut down your speech, but will also keep your money you gave them based on a promise of free speech in their ToS and then for no conceivable reason other than pure nastiness try to sell your domain to your adversaries.
