What's the joke here?
>>
objectivism is an extremely immature "philosophy"
>>
>>217440687
Ayn Rand was a child cannibal so her operating a preschool is silly

>We hate life and ourselves
>We can't govern
This is wayyyyy more skeething a critique than the Republican one. Republicans who, by the way, are still aggressive and ruthless business men. They basically are evil. But at least they can govern.
>>
>>217440687
pretty lame one for the effort of having drawn that.
slope to push a boundler up and the windows are high
I don't know, I only know of her from constant fucking second hand media referenced and not explain anything apart from repeating the title of her cunting book for the last thirty years
>>
>>217440687
People love to hate on Rand. She was right though
>>
I read Atlas Shrugged and it's nothing like what the haters say.
>hates bureaucracy
>loves trains
My queen.
>>
>>217440823
i dont say this often, but god almighty you are one fucking retarded faggot.
>>
>>217441359
If that were true you'd be able to disprove what he said. But you didn't. Because you can't.
>>
>>217440747
Midwit opinion. It was labeled "immature" and "not serious" by academia that praises objective shit like heidegger and postmodern fart sniffing.

I read Atlas Shrugged and thanks to this piece of shit I'll never read again!
>>
>>217441331
Anon, of the people who shit on Ayn Rand, only about 0.1% have read anything she's written.
>>
>>217441799
I've never read anything she's written but I shit on her on the basis that she is a woman.
>>
>>217440687
That objectivism doesn't really work with family and kids because it reduces human interaction to a series of exchanges that it aims to equalize.

Which is fair but then again post-modernism is just as individualistic, if not more so.
>>
>>217440687
Jews were baked in ovens en masse like tater tots
>>
>>217441649
it was correctly labeled because it was just an extreme over-reaction to failed communism
>>
>>217440687
It's a joke about indoctrinating toddlers. Though this is done at all schools anyways. Just not particularly with Objectivism and her personal philosophies.
>>
>>217441403
>doing a bad job is worse than being objectively evil
ok retard
>>
You would not want to bring your child to an objectivist nanny. The concept is absurd. That's the joke.
>>
>>217440687
Only very young children, or adults with pediatric intellect don't immediately recognize her stupid "philosophy" is ridiculously unworkable.

The true irony is how many edgyboi misogynist libertariantards get duped by this mentally unstable woman in their high-school years.
>>
>>217441403
Fag, all politicians are evil, but Democrats are historically more evil and manipulative, most recently with the lady administration denying aid relief to hurricane victims and intentionally flooding the US with illegal immigrants.
>>
>>217442100
They’re both evil retard
>>
Ayn Rand makes the fundamental error of wrongly assuming rational agents can never be selfless. Another, more glaring error is the assumption that everyone acting in their own best interest leads to no conflicts of interest. Yet another is the assumption that all agents are rational.

Just spare yourself the headache, play Bioshock and read Stirner instead.
>>
>>217442100
Doing a bad job is an objective fault, being considered evil in someone nobody's moral framework is necessarily subjective. I'd absolutely prefer to be an objectively competent man some loser thinks is a meanie rather than an objectively incompetent loser or loser likes to suck off.
>>
>>217440823
>we want what's worst for everyone and know how to achieve it

just great
>>
>>217441293
She had some very worthwhile criticisms at the very least
The sheer hatred she engenders is evidence of this
>>
>>217440687
Smart adults sit and collect NGO checks, or turn penis-plays-piano into foreign mansions.

>The true irony is how many edgyboi misogynist libertariantards get duped by this mentally unstable woman in their high-school years.
This goes back to my theory that commies hate her so, so much because it's often the only thing young people come across that actually seriously questions and critiques them. They own all the levers of indoctrination pretty much but Rand is a fly in the ointment.
>>
>>217442551
ayn rand bases all of her arguments on begging the question
she was trained in the art of rhetoric and persuasion, and nothing more
a political grifter before that was even a thing

thats why she appeals to the same people that are attracted to figures like andrew tate, jordan peterson, joe rogan, stefan molyneux, etc.
its a fundamentally brain dead school of thought, the epitome of pseudo-intellectualism
>>
>>217442672
>>217442551
Have you actually read her
>>
>>217442672
I don't really blame her to be honest. Nietzsche has correctly stated that philosophies are reflections of their author's life. Rand was an ugly jew whose family escaped the Bolshevik Revolution, which gave her access to a comfortable life and formal education, which she was decent at, and praised for it. Of course she would come to value "reason" in the academic sense and working in your self-interest. Plus, she was a woman.

>>217442686
Yeah, which is why i'm telling you to just skip it and play Bioshock instead. It's a decent representation of her ideas and their logical conclusion, with none of the smut. Stirner is a much better read for people interested in egoism.
>>
>>217442686
of course not, why would i read someone so brain dead as ayn rand
i have had the displeasure of hearing her speak however
>>
>>217441799
My nigga, the first book was mediocre something like twilight with businesswoman, but the second and third just bad. It goes off the rails into so deep self insert territory that it's hurt to read.
>>
>>217442758
thats the problem with ayn rand, it isnt a philosophy
its just a collection of arguments based on begging the question and circular reasoning for why (fantasy) capitalism is the ultimate truth and communism is the ultimate evil
sure it reflects her life, but that doesnt make it a philosophy
it would be the same as concluding aquaphobia is a philosophy because you almost drowned while swimming as a kid
>>
Again it's obvious no one in this thread got this very obvious joke on the Simpsons:
One of the first things toddlers learn is to share toys and share their snacks.
Ayn Rand was a giant piece of shit who said no you shouldn't share stuff. Just hoard everything for yourself.
That's the gist of it.
>>
>>217442854
You don't remotely sound like anyone whose opinion I would listen to
Anyways what I read of her was pretty good and she wrote a lot of worthwhile criticisms of collectivists.
Whenever I hear communists talk about her books it's like some bizarro version.

>>217442887
Of course she didn't say that, you moron.
>>
>>217440794
As a Republican, I take offense. That remark just isn't true. I only want what's worst for half the population.
>>

You really have no idea how much of a faggot you are, do you? Go the fuck back and kys on the way, fucking troon.
>>
>>217441799
They made us read that trash in school
>>
Wait a minute
If we're all supposed to follow our own self interests, shouldn't I vote for someone who taxes richfags and spends the money on something that benefits me? That would be in my self interests. Ayn Rand's argument against this was that it was muh oppression.
>>
>>217443816
>shouldn't I vote for someone who taxes richfags and spends the money on something that benefits me?
you can, but the richfags could hire a band of mercenaries to cave your head in if you try anything funny
when it comes down to it, Rand's philosophy boils down to "might makes right" because a world where everyone is simultaneously objectivist and moral is as much of a pipe dream as communism
>>
>>217441839
Women are no good are philosophy, amongst many other things.
>>
>>217443816
Sure but that's not particularly rational given your individual vote has literally no realistic chance of affecting the outcome of an election. It would be more rational to just kill the richfag and take his shit instead. Maybe just mug him instead.

Except Rand will also tell you that property rights must be enforced, but that's just because it's in her interest because she's a weak woman that can't kill and/or mug people.
>>
>>217443850
but anon
taxation is legal, murder is not
and even if democracy is a little fake and gay the people still have some ability to direct the violence of the state. Why shouldn't they? There is no reason they shouldn't. Rand only gave pathetic moralfag answers to this, which is hilarious because she was completely amoral.
>>
>>217443878
>taxation is legal, murder is not
because of PARASITES like you
>Why shouldn't they? There is no reason they shouldn't
because PARASITES need big daddy government to do anything
>>

How do I niggermaxx?

I read both the fountainhead and atlas shrugged and ayn rands writing is the most inane drivel i did ever read.everyone who licks up that shit needs a caretaker or a bullet
>>
>>217441881
>indoctrinating toddlers
>Though this is done at all schools anyways.
the early american pedagogues (socialists to a man) were very explicit about this
>>
>>217443153
kek
>>
the only legitimately good thing Rand did was call out the rich american (and european) communists on their shit.
>>
>i want to do whatever i want
>but i also need the approval of society because I'm a woman so I'm gonna pretend it's actually good for the society
Tragic, really.
>>
>>217440687

Ayn Rand's whole schtick is advocating for self-reliance, which toddlers absolutely do not have.
>>
>>217444333
he said as Stirner sought the approval of his fellow nihilists
>>
>>217442194
Go watch leftist video essays on YouTube, faggot.
>>
>>217444361
Whatever Stirner sought, he never had to be a hypocrite about it, unlike Rand.
>>
>>217444404
>uuuuh no it doesn't matter!
Stirnerfags are embarrassing
>>
Ayn Rand was a woman, so by definition her opinions are immature, unrealistic, inconsistent, and not worthy of further consideration.
>>
>>217444433
She was more substantial than the average channer or redditor
>>
>>217444424
>I do whatever I want
vs.
>I do whatever I want, BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY GOOD FOR EVERYONE ELSE TOO I PROMISE
Don't see what's so hard to grasp about this. Rand was just silly, Stirner is consistent.

Rand was a con artist living off welfare and one of her core tenets is "Helping us Futile"
>>
>>217444453
So was jeffrey Epstein you fucking retard. I'll insult you again if you want buddy.

>>217440687
>What's the joke here?
It's a premise/set-up: what if Ayn Rand ran a daycare?
>>
>>217441293
This is the real answer it's a funny non sequitur. Even a regular school wouldn't be named after her let alone a pre school
>>
>>217441649
You haven't read Heidegger and Ayn Rand was a failed cult leader who hacked self-esteem, retard.
>>
The joke is that a society of hyper competitive genius industrialists is a society that has no room for children, which is a (slightly shitty) criticism that often gets leveled at Rand.
>>
>>217442758
>Randianism is when we build a city under the ocean, and turn people into zombies
Is it though?
