    He wrote some academic sounding russophobic and anti-communist drivel so now he gets placed on the NYT bestseller list and has a running gig on cable news.

    Academia provides cover for the ruling class, he’s but one example.

    Unfortunately in my lib years I bought his book On Tyranny and later gifted it to my grandfather, who has been quite a fan ever since. Every time he brings it up now I cringe.

        That’s exactly what it is. Ivy league professor bestselling drivel. It’s super short and consist though, so you can always go back to it to affirm your anti-communist anti-authoritarian mantras.

            or to confirm that we are correct, a brazilian communist recent guest at deprogram, ian neves sometimes make a feat called Pororoca de Chorume (Slurry Wave ±) where he reads text from right wing and take it apart, like rothbard, misses mostly recent even dugin.

            from rothbard a meme was created: Up grandpa, why so racist?
