I’m just saying, her heroes may be unrealistic, but her villains are a prescient depiction of MAGA. So it’s strange to me when people try to equate Rand with MAGA.
Rand’s fans are MAGAs, that’s why. Argue that they don’t understand the material, and I’ll agree with you, but that doesn’t change that the philosophy does make you think that money is equivalent to value. And robs you of the tools to identify the “leeches” as Rand called them. “Since they argue for smaller government, they must be the good guys”
I was formerly an objectivist (I got better) and that was the same fucking thing I fell for.
