But your reaction resembles the reaction of a Muslim bigot who can't stand watching even 30 seconds of, say, a video which is critical of Islam. No, the "WTF" part is directed at you.
You say you've skimmed through the video but I guess that means your probably jumped 30 seconds for every 2 seconds you attended to or something. If you watch it carefully, you'd know it didn't just have quotes from what he's published in the past but also some quite unambiguous recent interviews/talks in which he explains his positions very clearly. In the end of the video him being a voluntarist is put forward quite straightforwardly too. And in the middle of the video there is a bit which would explain why some of his voting record might not be very "anarchistic", but his actual philosophy is.
This sums up a lot of my response:

But also its super easy to skip forward videos in youtube to skim them with the preview pop up when they are a series of frames adding a sentence to a blank page until we get to four sentences then it skips to a new page like a ******ed powerpoint presentation.
Look, im gonna spell it out in a way I assumed I didnt need to in my previous post. Ronald Paul has a literal actual history of writing or at least publishing under his name and his endorsement really ****ed up **** to appeal to racists to make money from them. You guys say evidence for this is his political history which shows no evidence of racism.
The most logical inference people can make from that is that his not so ****ed up **** to appeal to voluntaryists (not a real word) is also made up to make money from them and he doesnt believe it. I know this because I can look at his political history which shows no evidence of voluntaryism.
