>skilled and competent white men should be in charge, ability and power is what shapes society so you should aspire for it
I don’t think she got a fair shake but it’s no wonder she got panned so hard.

Being a Russian Jewish immigrant, she was already being suspected by the right wing for introducing communism and believe it or not, many christcucks shed tears over her elevating man above god despite endorsing the Protestant work ethic so ingrained in American culture at the time. Objectivism was clearly ahead of its time.

Then the literary jews of course had to pan her. How dare this peasant come to New York and dictate Nietzsche to us instead of getting with the program? There is nothing worse to Jews than someone abandoning their cause in favour of goy ideals and thus she was subject to exile and posthumous ridicule and slander.

Anyways the rape scene was kino and true. My trans ex-gf always had rape fantasies, but I’m not as smart and cool as Roark so I never role played it out with her.

>white men
That's your own addition

But Isn't this just liberalism? Free market bullshit that has proven not to work because humans are greedy pieces of shit by nature and need regulations? The Martin Skrelli types.

>>24793694
>That's your own addition
Objectively true though.

>>24793694
Howard created things and Shkreli doesn’t. Wynard is the the paper tycoon that is Shkreli, pumping and dumping and Rand heavily condemns him as a failed creator that sold out like Shkreli did.

>>24793670 (OP)
such a /pol/ tier take. gross.

America was over the moment they decided to give citizenship to non-Anglos and import many of them. As soon as the first micks, first krauts, first wops were allowed in it was game over. Then later groups just gave it the finishing blow.

>>24793707
This is obviously a pol adjacent book, but I didn’t really have any criticism except the prose. Why, do you have some insight you’d like to share? I’m not sure how a leftist would even critique Howard as a character, he strikes me as someone that would do just fine in a post-finance communist society and dedicate himself fully to his art without interruption or influence by a profit motive

>because humans are greedy pieces of shit by nature and need regulations?
It's the regulation that make everything worse. The world is hell because of regulations. If you want even more regulations, move to China lmao.

>>24794153
In a perfect world regulations would not be needed, but in reality, without them you'd have life saving meds costing 1 million per pill and asbestos would still be killing people.

lol

where can i get a copy of fountain head and atlas shrugged that have a readable font? the paperbacks on amazon apparently have a typeface for ants. don't they make like a boomer edition with those giant fonts? i hate ebooks, but maybe i'll have to.

>skilled and competent white men should be in charge
Yeah, like Trump

>>24793670 (OP)
The Soviet Union giving Ayn Rand the ability read and write proves her wrong.

>>24794267
Yep, when you make murder illegal, people are oppressed.

Congrats on missing the point, bozo. The highlighted part seems relevant here.

People really recommend this jew? No wonder jews are so genocidal.

Alright, all the cringe that preceeded this has been redeemed XD

>>24793670 (OP)
she didn't have bad ideas but she was Godless. i could've shown her the way, make her a pious housewife, creampie her

>>24793670 (OP)
Nice bait but even if this was serious /Lit/ is too Christ cucked to appreciate rand

NO HOWARD ROARK SAMA, YOUR BUILDINGS ARE TOO BEAUTIFUL! WE MUST DWELL IN MEDIOCRITY. SAVE ME DIASPORA-SAMA

jewish mafia existed a few decades before the irish and italians came
also germans were localized in a few states in a midwest where nobody wanted to go, and had practically zero political influence
you will be deported to india together with all your filthy shit-guzzling relatives
have a nice day

Congratulations, you missed the point. It's not a surprise that Rand gets hated a lot because even her so-called fans misunderstand what her books are about.

>>24795922
Nice cope, Luigi, but if you're not English, you're not American. You will be deported to whatever spaghetti eating shithole your tribe crawled out from.

>>24795205
She learned to read and write under the Tsar, so it proves her and the communists wrong. Feudal monarchy is the way to go.

>>24795975

thanks for proving your inferiority, shitguzzler

>>24796001
You will never be a true American, Luigi.

It's ok because she was zionist so american evangelicals praised her for it.

>>24796091
the fact that you can't judge the work for its own merit reveals that you are a leftist faggot
>american evangelicals praised her
quite the irony since neither "evangelicals" nor freemasons can approach libertarianism, only Catholics
but you need 130+ IQ to understand that

>>24796091
She was a hypocrite. Whining about parasites all the time but saying that Americans should send money to Israel. The Fountainhead is still a good read, though.

>>24796124
>hypocrite
u remind me of this meme

>>24796127
Not an argument. She had retarded views.

>>24796131
nah
her main idea was johngalting
and the results you are seeing live, today

>>24796135
She had some good ideas. Giving money to Israel, a parasitic state, wasn't one of them.

>>24795219
It's not relevant. It has nothing to do with self-selected identity and everything to do with empirical fact. White men are the most competent group.

>>24796137
why not? it's like a hi-tech state focused on microchips and pharmaceuticals in the middle of the desert
you can't be a multi-billionaire if you don't consider that a worthy side-project

>>24796142
They got all that through gibs in the first place. They should be cut off, and let's see how great they do.

>>24796162
you are saying that as if arabs didn't get EVERYTHING. literally EVERYTHING they got through oil (=gibs)
at least Israelis earned it

>>24796124
>being a hypocrite makes you wrong or something
You are a chimp

>>24796206
>If you have something in your home and you sell it, that's like gibs!
???
>parasites earned our money!
lmao

You're baiting me. That's on me.

>>24796210
>being a hypocrite makes you wrong
Yes. You are retard.

>>24796140
Anglo-Saxons were at some point competent. Not anymore. And it's not "whites". It's mostly Germanics. Slavs and Iberians are not more competent than Chinese or Japanese people.

>>24796232
>???
the irony is that a Persian (Iranian) economist proved mathematically that living off oil = gibs
the more you know

>>24796210
>being a hypocrite makes you wrong
Yes. When your values are contradictory, that means you're wrong.

>>24795914
very insightful

>>24796315
rhymes too
like ancient roman rhyme

>>24796267
They aren’t contradictory, her behaviour is.

>>24796119
>you can't judge the work
Point out where I judged the work you braindead mongrel.
>>24796124
Correct.

>>24796475
well I said that you couldn't... why do you ask me to point out where you could? lol

I loved this book so much. The prose, the relentless driving ahead, the characters, the epic scale, the fucking quarry and the valley of vacation homes and all the architecture, it completely changed what I want out of literature. I inhale this book like it's crack smoke and I am giddy every time I finish it.
I loved it so much that I read Atlas Shrugged.
Dear god Atlas Shrugged was the worst fucking thing I've ever read. Where the Fountainhead was passionate and eloquent, Atlas Shrugged was like getting ranted at by a meth addict who trapped you in her trailer and made you listen endlessly to her rants about her theory on money and why she was spending a dollar and how it made her feel good to spend a dollar and to work for a dollar and it was her dollar and since it was her dollar she could spend it as an exercise of her autonomy but once that greedy evil government wanted to touch her dollar everyone would starve. But x30. Because she'd make a speech, and when she'd finish a speech she'd start the same fucking speech over by a different character. I couldn't finish it all the way through, I had to skim the last third after choking down the second third.
Like I said, it was like having a methed out theorist endlessly ranting. Why? Because as it so happened Rand was on amphetimines the whole time--during her writing of atlas shrugged she was tweaking so hard that her friends started to hate her, she was always causing fights and ranting and not sleeping and just jawing at the bit. But despite how fucking awful that book was and how rotted her brain had gotten, neocons took that shit and jerked themselves off with it because it justified their most rancid selfishness. It made me sad, to see that my favorite book had been followed by my least favorite and that the most cancerous individuals (who exemplify everything negative Rand portrayed in the Fountainhead) had become her best friends.
The rape scene just shows that Rand was very horny, which is endemic of human existence. I am also very horny and want to be raped but by a redheaded woman architect. In that way she and I are the same.
