There was a time when Ron Paul was viewed as less of a libertarian nut job, and more an amusing libertarian with a weirdly enthusiastic following on the Internet.
Cory doctorow is a technologist who was influential in the late 2000s influencing how a lot of technology was built by talking about it's potential for collaboration and openness.
In an era where "blogging" was new, he was a proponent for it in a notable way.
So it's essentially a pile of late 2000s Internet references made into a silly narrative.
