Dude, who even knows.

Hearing these assessments of Murray Rothbard and paleolibertarianism as a predecessor of modern right-populism makes some things I was noticing in the late ‘90s daily libertarian links roundup at free-market.net but didn’t have referents for finally make sense, particularly Lew Rockwell and Justin Raimondo (noted as a disciple) at Antiwar.org. The distinct thing about the paleos it seemed to me was their monetarism, and with that site they were leading with a position – non-interventionist right-pacifism – that they did honestly hold, but seemed more importantly an open niche they could claim. Associating them with '90s white-Enough!ness… makes sense, though.
Makes it a little funny that was completely unrelated to how I came across Steve Sailer, which was actually his comments on Matt Yglesias’ American Prospect blog

This is the second time I’ve heard about Lew Rockwell in 12 hours after totally forgetting him since antiwar.org in the late 90s
