Atlas Shrugged: the story of the strong, independent woman who happily becomes a bang-maid for the right man (even if he is rather long-winded and somewhat boring).
>>25153785I'm surprised Ayn Rand hasn't been claimed by lookism fellows, maybe it's because she's too based for them and a woman on top of it.
Ayn Rand made poor health/financial decisions and ended up on social welfare.

>>25156630>So she got some of her money back that got extortedYou're parroting the argument ARI used after denying she had done so and evidence came out proving otherwise. She knew it made her a hypocrite and that's why she initially refused only to take it and cover up that she had. Ayn Rand shit is a self-help cult, bro. She's not unlike L. Ron Hubbard only her cult failed do to her lack of leadership skills.

Very entertaining book written by somebody who thinks nuance or subtility is cowardice.Reminds me of what Plato wrote in the republic about poets in an ideal society, only if they had the worldview of Thrasymachus.
