She's unironically a talentless hack propped up by Pseudointellectuals.
Not true, not true. She's the greatest Harlequin Romance author of the 20th century. Her heroines get raped by the hero (Fountainhead) and become bang-maids for the greatest man who ever lived (Atlas Shrugged), and no, silly, I don't mean Jesus.
>>25245690>She's mediocre and propped up by a cultFTFY.
>>25245690She made it so I got to play Bioshock, that makes her kino on my eyes.
>>25245690The Comprachicos is the best summation it what a smart person going through modern schooling experiences that I've ever read.Her long form stuff is trash but she had a few banger essays
>>25245690Criticizing Ayn Rand is the surest sign of a bore and a pseud
>>25245690You're retarded. She's clearly talented. Her writing is enjoyable. I've never met an Objectivist in my life.She just dared criticize lefties, in a lucid and accurate way, so they've continued to seethe about her, damn near frothing at the mouth, for a fucking century.This is seriously deranged behavior. Right wingers don't even hate Marx this much, and he actually deserves it.
>>25245690>>25245984I never understood why she causes so much vitriol among everyone. Sure, Atlas is too fantastical at times it feels childish, but The Fountainhead and We The People are genuinely good works and neither are overtly preachy like Atlas.But I guess it's because she was a jewish conservative that was against communism because she experienced it firsthand.
>>25246009>I never understood why she causes so much vitriol among everyoneShe had a very annoying personality (while being a woman, which pisses people off more) and a philosophy of individualism, which is "unsexy" among academics in humanities departments. Her writing is also frankly kind of autistic at times, like seriously John Galt's speech could have just been an actual philosophical essay by her instead of a word dump in a book.
>>25246009It's just angry leftists. >what be independent? think for yourself? do things? nooo I'm upset and cryingher books aren't that bad and her philosophy makes sense, although there are som issues
>>25245984True. Right wingers figure Marx (and Freud) are deb00nked. Marx being a stupid edgy mascot for tryhard troons (Freud just being wrong).The one right wingers actually hate is Martin Luther King. If they don't they're just faggots.
>>25245690>he's unironically a talentless hack propped up by Pseudointellectuals.
>>25245690Reality continually proves her right. Second-handers, bureaucrats and deceitful media have dominated consciousness, fraudulent governments have "educated" the kids to love multicultural communism and demonize competent white guys like Howard Rourke, and look at the shitshow of a modern world it has produced.
>>25246054Who cares? So did Bukowski and people regarded him as a genius. So did Schopenhauer and people began to respect his works once he dropped dead. People love Harry Sloppa and they cling to death of author to justify themselves. Being unable to evaluate something because you don't like author is plain infantile.
>>25246175I think lefties reeeally hate women who don't fall in line. For example, Ann Coulter. And to a lesser extent darkies, gays, and others who should be on their side.But the women get it worst of all. Rather curious phenomenon.
>>25246175>So did BukowskiSo did he what? Was he known for being as autismo about arguing over politics with everyone he met? Not that I'm saying it justifies it btw, I think Rand-bashing is pretty stupid, but the explanation is basically that, she was irrating and made influential people butthurt so the grudge lived on.
>>25246252>Was he known for being as autismoYes. He literally spent his live living from friend to friend rent free, moving out to the next once he got tired of them.
>>25245690Wouldn't that be ironical that others prop her up?
>>25246285Yes, autists are so notorious for cultivating and manipulating a wide friend group.
>>25246287No, it really wouldn't. I can see that you have a surface level of a surface level reddit understanding of this.
Retards who hate Rand have literally no reason to not hate Nietzsche as well except that he's a man, though some of them admitedly do hate him or will when you actually explain Nietzsche to them. When you confront them with this, they will just mumble something nonsensical about how he's at least being true to himself or whatever. It's delusional behavior and I never would have even known who this girl was if it wasn't for the obnoxiousness of her haters
