Paleocretinism

Paleocretins, also known as “paleo dipshits” [1], “paleo scumbags” [2], rockwelltarians, or ironically, “paleolibertarians”, are followers of Lew Rockwell and Murray N. Rothbard who pretend to be libertarians while embracing nationalism, racism (white supremacy, Antisemitism...), bordertarianism and Kremlintarianism.

Examples

• Nothing to see here, just the President of the Mises Institute going on an open white nationalist’s podcast to complain about open borders and wokeness. Wow, who would have thought that the blood and soil guy would be friendly to white nationalists?
  • I’m joined by @jeffdeist, president of @mises, for a discussion on the role, if any, of capitalism in Western decline. We’ll discuss woke capital, explore whether capitalism causes wokeness and open borders, and much more!

• If “the great replacement” means replacing dipshits like Lew Rockwell with people who don’t suck, count me in.

• If you still don’t buy that paleos are attracting trash into libertarianism, criticize one of them and then read your mentions afterward.

Typical paleocretin behavior

• As usual half his fanboys are crying “he didn’t say that” and half are saying “what he said is based”

• "He probably didn't say this but I wish he did."

• It’s no wonder there was a weird Paul 2008 to Trump 2016 pipeline given they do the same exact thing. “He didn’t say that!” “Actually he did say that, and it’s good that he did!”
