Getting all indignant about the moral and spiritual autonomy of a monstrous piece of shit who's a danger to everyone around him Who gives a flying fuck This is why Burgess, a much smarter and better writer than Rand, ended up taking A Clockwork Orange out of print

You can make your point about human free will and moral relativism without going to the point of valorizing an actual sadistic murderer - and, by extension, dehumanizing and devaluing the people he killed (as Burgess felt the film inevitably did)

"Yes, I am a monstrous criminal, but what are you?" Holy shit Yeah I'm an ordinary boring dull ugly fatty with poor dress sense who didn't do anything cool with his life who ISN'T A MURDERER and DOESN'T WANT TO BE MURDERED or to BE AROUND MURDERERS

And we all get together to protect ourselves from the murderers and to punish the murderers in our midst when they get caught Based on our cowardly desire to live normal boring dull lives of safety and peace that we call society That's how it fucking works, suck it up

This is the whole thing about her Nietzsche kick, that she wholly embraces the idea that *everything* we think of as "morality" is "slave morality" and "master morality" is just plain being a piece of shit asshole

It's controversial to say this because Nietzsche did make it into the Great Thinker canon and Rand didn't, at least partly because he really was smarter and a better writer, but yeah I mean it's hard not to look at him and just see edgelord ranting that doesn't go anywhere

I guess I'm an envious philistine for saying this but anytime I think about the banging on about Herrenmoral and Sklavenmoral it all feels so fucking hormonal teenager Come on Freddie calm down

You can wax poetic about the Ubermensch all you like but when you actually look at people forging ahead to create their own morality free of the toxic peer pressure of petty hypocritical society you just get dumb stupid asshole garbage Dime-a-dozen rapist scumbags

You know, I do think it's unfair that Nietzsche's work was misappropriated by Nazis when he wasn't anti-semitic (as far as I know) but you do have to wonder why his philosophy attracted so many shitty people to it, even if they didn't fully "get" it.

So many people who mysteriously find out that when they reject the peer pressure of a hidebound and censorious society in order to follow the true passions of their heart they just become another stupid racist
