Ugh, I hate that anything right can come from this blot on humanity. Something, something, broken clocks

Interesting. Ayn Rand and her true believers, who include many of the wealthy and powerful in our society, share an ethic that is the very antithesis of what she writes here. She and the libertarians who worship her are a very confused lot.

Ayn Rand happens to be a fucking idiot so I don’t know how much stock I’d put in that quote.

Ayn Rand should not be spoken of positively

Libertarians are like cats. Stupid selfish cats.
Cats think they’re hot shit and are completely independent, but that’s only because there’s a massive framework of support around them providing them shelter, feeding their asses and picking up their shit.
Libertarians are like cats. Fully dependent on systems they don’t appreciate or understand.

Atlas Shrugged looks like written by some weird 4chan 27yo incel that lives in the basement of her mother suddenly and miraculously has the discipline and some low inteligence to at least connect clearly two words who spent his days writing a 1000 pages weird rant about capitalism instead of playing 10k hours of some anime game with girls with unreal boobs and short skirts in high school outfit.

I wonder which men she means specifically. This statement is vague enough to turn upon anyone you like.

Is this not just what Marx said but not in the form of a 1000 page beast of a book?

Utah Senator, Mike Lee, is a Libretarian and is also a panting, bootlicking, Trump sycophant. The truth is that Rand and her ilk worship power and constantly mistake it for competance.
If she were alive today, she’d be Trump’s press secretary and she would dye her hair the Fox News approved blonde color to get his aporoval.
(pant, pant, oh Donny you’re so forecful).
That last bit was a Mike Lee quote being attributed to Ayn Rand.

The Rand loving Republican Party has argued that legalizing bribes makes government more efficient.

It deserves to be doomed. It’s propped up by pedos.

Nah. Even a stooped clock can be right twice a days. Look a little further into what she and that book were really all about.
She and The Koch Brothers and their Cato Institute and their Libertarian “ideals” have done more to harm this country, than almost anything other than the MAGAs doing it to us now.
She died broke, sick and alone following her own guidelines on how to be a good citizen.
Begone with thee, smoke and mirrors “philosophy”. You don’t hold up to scrutiny, or real life.

This will land like the “scroll of truth” memes with Libertarians.

I agree, all these greedy bloated corporations are sucking the life out of our society. Reducing every interaction into a profit-driven opportunity.

Ah yes, Ayn Rand, that anti-capitalist, anti-corruption hero and champion of the working class 🤪🤣😂

She wasn’t talking about capitalism, she was demonizing democracy. Ayn Rand was a sociopath, an intellectually adolescent edgelord and a massive hypocrite who was an immigrant who received Welfare and food stamps from the country she was vilifying.
The only thing good about he was that she was an atheist.

Broken clock, twice a day. She was an evil shitgoblin and a hypocrite.

This is why I can forgive high school level philosophers for being drawn to her. At the surface level, a lot of her philosophy of Obectivism sounds great. It’s only when you dig deep and see how messed up it is in practice that the ah ha sinks in. Ayn Rand would probably be a MAGA with Elon as her Roark and Trump as her Rearden.

Rand said the words, but endorsed the opposite. Modern conservative ideology is based partly on her ideas – particularly the virtues of selfishness.
Just think about her flawed logic: how can you endorse individual selfishness while decrying the powerful holding you back – while, at the same time, exhaling those same powerful people (at least the ones she considered intelligent)? How can she call altruism an “evil” and worry about a failed society where the rich and powerful don’t really care about workers?
