Ayn Rand didn't believe any of that shit. She was all for contamination and misery if it turned a profit for herself. She was not an intellectual, a trailblazer, or a brilliant writer. She was an opportunistic twat who died on welfare. Fuck Ayn Rand. She couldn't get a following in Russia because she was a moron, so she found an audience in anti-Russia, pro-free-rein capitalist America.That way of thinking is wrong because Ayn Rand expressed a philosophy that does not care if anyone else's life gets fucked up. The richest people on Earth have made their fortunes by fucking the world up. They do what they wanna do, regardless of whether a rainforest disappears, a river becomes flammable, the oceans fill with trash, or the pollution from their Chinese factories can be seen from space.I'm not so much a child of Ayn Rand... more a child of Robert Heinlein...
but it all comes from the same place...
the urge to do whatever the fuck you wanna do... just so long as you don't directly fuck up anyone else's life...
I challenge anyone in here to tell me the fault in this way of thinking...
They also start wars over lies to get at more fossil fuels which make the 1% richer while polluting the planet more.
Fuck Ayn Rand and anyone who believes her shit.
The way it's supposed to work in a free society is that I can do whatever I wanna do as long as it doesn't fuck up someone else's life and/or property... including air, water, noise, etc...
'n if I do fuck up someone else's life and/or property in those terms, I'll stand to get sued 'n called before the court system...
tell me how this wouldn't work...
I know how some of you Conservatives on this forum love Mencken quotes. This is my favorite:
"No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the public."
That describes Ayn Rand, and the GOP.
