Not only was the original image comically racist, obviously coming from the likes of /pol/ -- but the facebook post about cultural marxism is straight up gamergate bullshit, further exposing the laughable premise of libertarians being socially liberal.

He tweeted this out, then deleted it and tweeted it again without the racist picture. I remember when this dude was mega popular with libertarians and was considered a serious presidential candidate by many. He's fallen quite far since then.
Dude hasn't fallen. He's always been a piece of shit. I say this as someone that voted for him back in my college days. I was a delusional and legitimately thought the libertarian way was correct. Boy was I wrong on that.

F*** the right wing.

I don't even know what Cultural Marxism is supposed to mean. A cultural predisposition to seizing the means of production?

Serious question, is Rand Paul named after Ayn Rand?

Of course it's a Ben fucking Garrison cartoon. Dumbest political cartoonist ever.

As much as I dislike social media, Twitter is the one thing that really shows you the stupidity of people.

ResetEra's first controversy.

But yes, there may be some blatant racism in that tweet. As in, it is in fact blatantly racist.

I think I've read that he's "not" and that it's just some coincidence, but I'd wager that's a Lucy in the Skies with Diamonds-level load of shit.
That beats the previous low of naming your son Holden. I'd have more respect for Ron if he named his son Ayn.

What is cultural marxism? It feels like one of those phrases dumb people use to sound smart, and it means nothing but what supports their point at that time.

It's an anti-Semitic term created by the Nazis.

Edit: it's referring to a BS conspiracy theory about the Frankfurt School.

Every time him or his dumbass son pop up I feel a new wave of shame for falling for his Libbey-light brand back when I was 18.

Ron Paul has always been really overtly racist, though he toned it down for a while before Trump made it feel safe to be racist again.

This is also an indictment of Ben Garrison... He's always been a complete piece of shit, but I've never seen just straight out overt racism from him before. It's usually dog whistled at least.

fucking libertarians

This is gonna sound like r/thatHappened, but I knew a guy in high school who was a proud libertarian, and was explaining in our (rather small, nine student) chemistry class that he's a libertarian and how he was like Ron Swanson. Now, this kid was the dorkiest, most snively goddamned kid imaginable; he couldn't have been further from the character. So, being the asshole I am, retorted, "Ryan, your shitty views don't make you cool." Not the most eloquent rebuttal, but it shut him up somehow.

I for one am shocked. Maybe that's why he's been so quite as Trump pisses and shits over the constitution
