Ayn Rand being a shitty writer who has to include multi-page monologues to get her point across.

What did the trick was all of its public speakers being clearly unreasonable extremists and sexual aberrants and its silent adherents manifestly striving to increase human suffering.

People didn't take it seriously, it is socially unacceptable to be correct too soon.

Being a closed system. Objectivism requires everyone to be an objectivist. Good fucking luck convincing each individual person to be one. As a personal philosophy of individualism it can be fine, but what kills it is the inherent political aspect to it which is absurdly vulnerable to sectarianism. It's the logical conclusion of pretending that the "social contract" can be a real thing: hey, how about we get every last person in the world to sign the contract willingly?
I'm very sympathetic to the views of personal and economic freedom that it espouses, but no, instead it's better to adopt a pragmatic stance with an open system that embraces contradiction as a feature rather than a bug, inviting participation for those who care, but also clarifying that we need a structure of arbitrary rules and enforcement because it's more practical to tax everyone to fund police, courts and prisons instead of preventing crime through dialectics.

Didn't the guy who made these turn out to be a /v/ troll who spends his life smoking weed and playing MMOs

Back then, trolling actually existed and it was generally understood that deliberately provocative logical fallacies were made for the sake of amusement. Nu-4chaniggers are what happens when you take the kind of shitposting that ancient Greeks would throw at each other when challenging their views and think it's a way of life. Like it's generally assumed that Gorgias didn't literally believe that nothing exists, he was merely poking fun at a particular purely rationalist school of thought.

Because depending on how you interpret it, it's either plain common sense or completely unhinged lunacy. Either way, it's a pointless meme.

Most people aren’t robotic sociopaths and have what’s called a soul.

objectivism is atheist millenarianism that its own founder assumed was impossible to implement until communism killed everyone too stupid to agree with her
