Ron Paul is who redpilled from normie to based patriot back in ‘09. I heard him on TV one day and he was so cogent and sensible, I was like that guy is a politician? I looked him up and was like wtf is he talking about. So I read his books and articles and my 23yo brain was tore the fuck up. So then I read even more stuff like Rothbard and Hayek and then the Federalist papers once I was aware of the concept of the role and philosophy of government. At the time I was a sales manager teaching sales strategy and it dawned on me that the same shit my company used is what they did to sell Obama. That plus learning what a scam our banking system is sent me down a whole new path in life and made me learn public relations, cybernetics, the occult etc. But Ron Paul was the first step from normie to my current power level.
