Qrd on why she causes so much seethe?
>>24890700>just be le selfishThen her husband left her because she was insufferable. Good riddance
>>24890700She's uggo but wants to be dicked down by chad
She doesn‘t really, the potential libertarian moment is long gone and left only some middling retardation and bad books in its wake.
>>24890700toddler-tier takes in a needlessly long and poorly written book. she's perfectly positioned to be the favorite author of dumb people who want to be seen as serious thinkers.she causes eye rolling more than seething.
>>24890710Ayn Rand is not the only way to support libertarianism, let alone the best. Us European libertarians don't give a fuck about Rand or objectivism, it's mostly an American phenomenon. And because you say "is long gone" I bet you are some kind of alt right supporter and not a leftist. The best justification alt rights have for rejecting libertarianism is "but they wouldn't respect my rights, so I might as well try to repress them". Very very lame.
>>24890731"Alt-right" today means supporting the EU, Ukraine and the Newsom-Harris 2028 ticket.
>>24890731>European libertariansMust be grim as fuck to hold those beliefs in the modern EU
>>24890731Nobody gives a fuck about European libertarians or what you think lol. If you have no power nobody gives a single fuck about your meme ideology. At least American libertarians have a bit of power.
>>24890731What little history Europe has with libertarianism (properly called) is a gayop conceived to align with the American right and divert from parties with a more authentic interest in the political histories of their nations. >The best justification Is the fundamental basis of power in that it never permits a vacuum. The US turning into the most tyrannical major state of recent history because it allowed outsourcing of all repressive behavior to private entities is proof of that.
>>24890756No lolbert anywhere has any power lmao
>>24890753I'm consoled by the fact that the economic stagnation we are suffering prove us right. But yes, it's a shitty place to be a libertarian. When you talk to a right wing person and criticise together subsidies for immigrants, and you tell them "yes, we should totally end subsidies and lower taxes", they soon retreat and start to talk about how the subsidies should be for locals or companies. Statolatry is the norm, but at least I'm not french. In France even rock paper scisors is intervened by the state.
>>24890758>UK turning into the most tyrannical major state of recent historyFTFY
>>24890751This is your brain on MAGA
>>24890756>might is rightYes, we are in a literature board, not in the trenches. You can shove a powerful man's dick up your ass.
Being so unequivocally correct often leads to controversy and general upset
>>24890763We dont see eye to eye on everything but I'd work with you lads before almost any other group. Good luck to you.

>>24890700The vast majority of readers are women, and women are mostly very left-leaning. The few men who do read, the vast majority of them are left-leaning as well. If you go to online spaces where literature is discussed, these spaces are controlled by these same leftists. Some of these people are also outright socialists or communists. In her writings, Ayn Rand continually criticizes socialism and communism, drawing from her childhood spent in Soviet Russia. Later, she'd go on to support capitalism, and brand her own version of feminism, which at it's core posits that women should uplift men - not shit on them. She also famously said that affirmative action is holding back White Americans from greatness. All of these sentiments make the modern literature-lefty seethe uncontrollably, so they go online and call Ayn Rand a nazi, a racist, a fascist, a terrible writer, etc.

>>24890717Atlas Shrugged is objectively (no pun intended) good regardless of your idealogy you are letting yours blind you
>>24890700She was a generally contentious person who fought even with people who agreed with her 99.9%, and her contemporary fanbase are generally not people with particularly strong social skills or agreeable personalities.(And I say this from the unusual position of being a lefty who is fairly sympathetic to her philosophy as a guide to individual action. It can be useful self-improvement advice even if it's not a great guide to "real politics")
>>24890827Nah, The Fountainhead is great. Everyone should read it.
>>24890700>hey goyim! Be an atomized individual while global mega corps steam roll you into neo-slavery in the name of Freedom ™This kike writings only survived within the public thanks to her proliferation by the absolute ghouls that came to power in the 80s.
>>24890837I cannot imagine thinking Rand's prose is good.
She makes leftoids seethe because she reveals them for what they are through her work. She makes everyone else seethe because her work is a brutal fucking slog to read.

>>24890707She was married to a decent enough guy. No idea what he saw in her looks, but I suppose there's someone out there for everyone.
>>24890707>>24891004Porn has given the false conception that good looks = high sex drive, but there's no correlation, if anything the opposite as the ugly desire the feeling of being possessed. So AR was inhaling young dick constantly. The affair itself is notorious: In the middle 1950s, having first obtained the blessing of their respective spouses, brilliant, bestselling Rand, then 50, began a sexual relationship with her 25-year-old protégé, Nathaniel Branden, who became her public spokesman. Fourteen years later, the affair blew up after Rand learned of a longstanding extra-extramarital liaison between Branden and one of his female students. He later became a psychologist and author of popular books on self-esteem, but he still had a score to settle with Rand. His memoir-cum-biography, My Years with Ayn Rand (1989), portrayed her as an especially ruthless, hysterical version of the woman scorned, and former wife Barbara Branden did much the same in The Passion of Ayn Rand (1986). https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/james-s-valliant/the-passion-of-ayn-rands-critics/

>>24890700Ayn Rand developed her philosophy specifically because she was so ugly that even in the shitstorm of the Russian Revolution neither her kike daddy nor the inbred alcoholic Bolsheviks were interested in raping her. She coped by convincing herself that this is due to socialism repressing the healthy and natural instincts (to rape Ayn Rand) in men, and men should act as selfish as possible (i.e. finally rape her). In her books, tall selfish men with big arms are constantly raping her self-insert character. She completely misunderstood men, as it always happens with women.A real man is a living antithesis to Objectivism. As a human male, I cannot act in my own personal interests since I naturally have none, so instead I rape women out of selfless kindness, as all men do.If Ayn Rand ever met me, I would rape the Objectivism out of her to absolutely no benefit of my own (there can be no personal gain or profit from raping Ayn Rand desu), and that would collapse her world-view on a metaphysical level. It would become indisputably self-evident to her that she kept writing books because despite all of her efforts she never got a good rape. She never got a good rape because the only men she interacted with were Objectivists who fell for her books - books written by a women dreaming of being raped, about a woman dreaming of being raped. The only men who can enjoy her books are women in male bodies, inherently incapable of raping her, and instead hoping that she would rape them, that she would incarnate as a the man she dreams of, the Messiah hiding under the skin of the Prophet. She would see why all of her relationships with men were such disasters, both of them eagerly waiting for the other to rape, waiting to no outcome. She would love me and my kind dick selflessly in return despite all her will, leaving her with absolutely nothing to ground her ideas anymore, finally feeling true freedom - freedom as an absence, as a flight with no land holding your feet, as hers would be dangling high above. The dreams of an Atlantean man of self-interests would evaporate from her head with the moisture of my cum drying in her scruffy hair. She would sing praises to Lenin whenever her mouth is not taken by selfless work on my cock and balls.
>>24890700Her fans are absolute retards Also, strangely, there are no children in her novels
>>24891063>if anything the opposite as the ugly desire the feeling of being possessedThis is true. Source: fucked an uggo.
>>24890700She's ugly, dumb, obnoxious and selfish.
Basically Ayn Rand thinks we live in a meritocracy where hard work is always rewarded, and if you're a failure you just arent working hard enough. And Ayn has a parade of ridiculous caricatures and strawmen to illustrate this point over and over and over and over again.
Ayn Rand was the edgelord of her time. She would go against every convention or accepted opinion just for the sake of it. Doesn't mean she is wrong about some things though.
>>24891620Libertarians shouldn't support "meritocracy", because it's a deterministic concept, and libertarians are much concerned about uncertainty, about the second or third order consequences of intervention and so on. Meritocracy needs a metric to measure merit, which would be centralised (for example, a public examination to access a position of public official). In a free market, if you succeed it probably means that you satisfied an intense demand of some product or service, but it can happen out of pure luck, or an indeterminate proportion of planning and luck. The thing is that luck it out of the scope of justice: just because something is not fair, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's unfair and should be compensated.
>>24891466got hard from reading this. thanks.
