Just like the demonstration of this fact we're all carefully talking around, that someone invoked Rand to justify her absurd, embarrassing crush on a piece of shit whose only accomplishment in life was jacking up the prices on desperately needed drugs

The amount of energy you clearly spend hating this woman is more energy that I have put into hating anyone in my whole life. Ok...you do you.

Yeah, but that's...writing a novel. It's doing something that's affirmative. Not just tearing into people. I just don't get it. Like, if you hate Ayn Rand, fine. I don't know why you have to make it a mission to destroy anyone who likes some of her work.

Or some aspects, anyway. Not even the whole work. Like, I skipped over the objectivist rants...

Aha. See. You didn’t read Galt’s speech. I literally think it’s impossible for any honest person to read the entirety of that speech and not be convinced. AR put over 40 years of experience as a novelist into making it the most convincing piece of art in history.

Ive read it more than once. Its meandering, self obsessed junk and it kills the pace of the absurd romance between AR self insert, the pirate, the playboy, the furnace worker and the scientist

Whats wild is she went backwards on this shit. Fountain head has like two self indulgent speeches but from the MC and the villain. Atlas has 3 fucking long ass speeches and it ends on a total rando

LOL no it got it. Its hard to NOT get it, it repeats its point so many different ways. You know what my take away form AS as a 15 year old was? I should be nice to my friends cause that selfishly makes me happier. Collectivism as selfishness. Rand would hate me

Rand went back on forth on this, obviously, since she did have friends and lovers whom she very much did expect to sacrifice to keep her happy She thought loyalty to your friends was a virtue, she'd just judge you based on whether your friends were "rationally" worthy of it
