      Sigh. I grew up reading the "Little House on the Prairie" series. I find it hard to believe Rose Wilder would have been friends with the person who is as nasty as the one you're describing. And yet...they were indeed friends.https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1353776614186733579 …

      She is very open about the pathological mindset here -- that she likes evil people as long as they're *smart* and *special*, and if they are smart and special then the more evil they are the more it just adds to their smartness and specialness

      Rose Wilder Lane's life was more complex than her mom's childhood stories. She and Rand were among the intellectual founders of American libertarianism and fiercely opposed the New Deal and all its works, such as Social Security.

      True. But even so, I don't think being opposed to the New Deal is a sign of evil. People can have different perspectives about what makes the most sense economically. I think we do need a safety net. Others might disagree.

      Whoa. Nothing in my tweet came close to suggesting that "being opposed to the New Deal is a sign of evil." I merely pointed out that the friendship you found mysterious may have rested on political affinity, not on who was nice or "nasty."

      Lol Rose Wilder Lane wasn't just "opposed to the New Deal" she spent the 1930s as an anti-FDR conspiracy theorist and antiwar concern troll who publicly defended Hitler She flipped on all that in a big hurry once the war started but it's public record

      Later on in life she was quite bitter over Ayn Rand eclipsing her fame as a "founding mother of American libertarianism" and fumed that the publishing industry favored Rand over her because she was Jewish Really fascinatingly awful person

      I also find it interesting that because LIW wrote an interesting account of her life that was later romanticized on tv, that means the daughter couldn’t possibly be a terrible person with terrible friends. Says a lot about CS’s thought process & maybe some of her choices

      Never watched the TV series, just read the books. And the later books which deconstructed the romanticized life. I am still not sure how her daughter was a "terrible" person, apart from being a libertarian activist.

      Which later books, the "Rose Years" books (Little House on Rocky Ridge and its sequels)? Those books don't "deconstruct" jack shit, they're straight up libertarian propaganda by Roger Macbride and unlike the originals they're barely based on real history at all

      Anyway if you don't know why people think Rose was a terrible person in real life then you literally don't know the first thing about her The "Rose books", again, were written by her "adopted son" (young enough to be her grandson) who didn't know jack shit about her childhood

          Rose was, among other things, a serial plagiarist and fabulist as a writer, an abusive moocher and grifter in her personal life, an antisemitic conspiracy theorist as an "activist" And there's a strong argument to be made she groomed the teen boys she "mentored"
