It would do you a world of good to find more people in your life who will tell you when you are full of shit.

Elon, what do you think about Ayn Rand?
-
Very appealing if you’re a sophomore in college. It’s a counterpoint to communism and useful as such, but should be tempered with kindness.
-
Global amnesia. The most difficult ideology to temper with kindness would be socialist-constructs backed by the use of government force. There's a lot of rage-filled "virtue" going on these threads, in the name of fairness and equality. When did schools cease teaching history?
-
Well said. And in recent history. Stalinist Russia - 'socialist kindness' that enslaved and killed millions. Maoist China too. All with the best and 'kindest' intensions. In those cases, 'equality' meant stealing from the prosperous to equalize things for the less motivated.
-
Yes, exactly: "recent history". That's why it's bewildering to see this ideology rising from the ashes. It's an easy sell though. Just exploit naturally hard-wired emotions (envy & fear) then erase history and sensor people. Stalinism is all too personal to my fam.
