      Ayn Rand herself, of course, had an overpowering crush on a guy who murdered a kidhttps://twitter.com/ChristieSmythe/status/1352779265721380864 …

      One reason I can deal with being attacked over my feelings for Martin Shkreli is my affection for Ayn Rand -- which not one of my liberal journalist friends has ever understood. I don't agree with everything she espoused, but I love her determined spirit. Similar situation.

      She did not have a crush on a murderer. She made a lot of complex notes on him, some positive and many negative. It digusts me how people oversimplify these things in the name of virtue signaling.

      "Yes, he is a monster – now. But the worse he is, the worst must be the cause that drove him to this. Isn’t it significant that a society was not able to fill the life of an exceptional, intelligent boy, to give him anything to out-balance crime in his eyes?"

      I don't think we should ever completely slam the door on people. Understanding is important, even when they do something terrible. Flippant remarks might feel satisfying, but they are ultimately unhelpful.

      That's not what she said, she literally just takes it for granted that because she's decided he's the "bright, exceptional" kind of person, then any of his moral failures are failures of society, and the greater said failure, the greater society's failure Which is fucking insane

      It's a perspective. I don't know if it's crazy. Maybe. Writers can get pretty fascinated by their subjects for all sorts of reasons. (Lol, trust me.) It's not unusual to relate to them or sympathize with them. Why is Rand so evil for doing this when it happens a lot.

      The degree to which it's unusual is not the point, the point is it's an opinion that is incorrect and fucked up If a writer finds themselves "fascinated" to this degree by a total piece of shit then maybe that writer needs to log off and go outside

          Possibly listen to all their friends and family and idk even casual acquaintances and maybe even complete strangers who are saying "this seems a bit fucked up, maybe think about how fucked up this could be?"

          Artists and writers being fascinated by things both great and terrible is how we generate a tremendous body of paintings, sculpture, film, books, plays...and everything else.

          Really. That's where you're going with this. "But ART!!!!!" Sweet baby Jesus. We can live without "art" that comes at the expense of others and elevates awful, undeserving people. I promise.
