I briefly lived in a student co-op, and the best house meeting we had was when we got to kick out this guy who disappeared and left everyone else to cover his shifts. He turned back up after two months and it turned out he had been in another city campaigning for Ron Paul. He somehow felt like this was a good reason to not get kicked out
I was at the original Occupy Wall Street back in 2011, and there was a really large number of Ron Paul guys hanging around. For one brief shining moment, it looked like they might set aside all their bullshit and actually focus on taking down the oligarchy. It didn’t last, but I remember both how strange and hopeful it was. Alas.
Ron Paul was a mistake, leading to the creation of Ron Swanson introducing libertarianism to millennials.
I don’t know what’s worse, the ham radio Ayn Rand libertarians from the 70s or the Ron Paul gold standard meme libertarians from 2008

A bunch of libertarians refusing to pull their weight over ideological bullshit? Real Atlas Shrugged moment.
