You are nihilistic, blood-sucking parasites who gladly abuse the very people who sustain you, the people who make the Earth turn. All you are good for is sex and violence - and in some horrifying way, you actually become proud of that fact and turn those things into virtues.
Only well into adulthood did I come to understand just how large a percentage of you people fantasize about the extinction of the human race.
Don't worry Rand, I'm keeping the faith, I won't become a mindless taker to any degree more than I am absolutely forced to by law, and I'll keep that which I make to myself or to worthy acquaintances, not the degenerate decrepit masses. There's at least one other person alive who still understands that consent also applies to trade, and all alternatives ultimately come down to violence against workers, OP.
Luis Allen
Who exactly is you? Yea Forums? Yea Forums? Or is this one of those whipipo bad threads that are everywhere today despite no happenings
OP here: the people this is directed towards are the people who know that this is directed towards them.
Zachary Robinson
and also glow in the dark

>I won't become a mindless taker to any degree more than I am absolutely forced to by law unlike Rand, who filed for disability and collected Social Security.

Ayn was definitely based. But she took it too far by saying people shouldn’t be charitable. I’m not saying anyone necessarily should be, but those that choose to be shouldn’t be criticized for it
Funny how they never mention that part. Should have let her die in a gutter lying in her own feces.
It's what John Galt would have wanted
Joshua Edwards
She said they shouldn't be charitable if it involves sacrifice, and to not look at it as a moral duty in and of itself. Charity is fine, as long as you do it because you value the people you're helping and the effects the charity has on your environment.
She was taxed for years and got some of her money back. Dollars are fungible, retards.
Mason Lewis
Actually you’re wrong. She said Charity is only “fine” if it serves the persons own self interest. But at that point is ceases to be charity.
William Adams
So you’re saying the whole philosophy was just Jewish sheckelry?
Bentley Stewart
That's what I just said, retard. If the people you are helping are a value of yours, it is in your self interest to help them. It's only bad when you do it at a loss for yourself. Life is about trading amongst equals, not feeling entitled to someone else's shit and thinking they owe you.
*this post brought to you from mummy’s basement* So how is it charity if it serves your own self interest you spergbrained neckbasement? Also I think your tendies are ready
lmao, are you human? Do you like people? Or are you one of the solipsistic nihilists that infest this place, too? I prefer living amongst people I get along with. If I can afford it without forgoing my own wants, I'd happily help out people who need it. That isn't a sacrifice, and it isn't my duty. I do it because I WANT to, not because I HAVE to. That's egoism.
I do like people, and I do charitable work and have for the last 17 years. I do it for no other reason other than to help other people and it comes with some personal sacrifice. What I do doesn’t benefit me in any way. So according to Ayn, and Anton LeVay it’s worthy of criticism
Justin Bennett
Yep
Luke Wood
they are both hilariously cringey, just go maximum cringe dumby
Jordan Martinez
Which she was forced to pay into as a citizen, so why would that be a mark against her? Not like she could take that money back by force. >wtf if you don't like your money being taken from you by force for things, you shouldn't take it back through those things
William Powell
>solipsistic nihilists Those are some awe full big words for an 8 year old
it's an acceleration on the spectrum known as 'babies first edgy philosophies."
Alexander Young
And I bet you pat yourself on the bag while you wallow in self pity and grow to resent them. Either that, or you do actually derive value from helping them, in which case you're being self interested. You've been taught to hate yourself.
Nathaniel Jackson
i too like creating religions to justify my selfish actions. ayn rand for life.
There's nothing edgy about the idea of leaving people alone and letting them keep the stuff they make through consenting trade rather than taking it through force to give to people who "don't believe in people having stuff". That's just common decency, and you're just a faggot. Tell me again why I owe you things for me working?
Joseph Hall
you're probably miserable. you have no idea what rand meant by self interest.
Jason Flores
dude fuck off that is not even remotely true
Henry Lewis
enlighten us
Adam Ward
That’s why Trump was elected, it’s fun to watch things burn
Andrew Thomas
>That's just common decency, and you're just a faggot. don't worry, everyone goes through a nietszche, rand and/or stirner phase in their life at some point. youtube.com/watch?v=vZQJFbrqjUY
You are a physical being existing in reality, whose goal it is to survive and thrive as an individual. In order to do that, you have to use your mind to figure out what moves do and do not ultimately serve the goal of living a happy life, within the context of your place in reality.
nah. i never bothered reading her horse shit. i have however met a bunch of her followers, and have found them to be absurd absolutists. and most were social darwinists. all justified their thoughts and actions with ayn rand horse shit. ayn rand is a religion that justifies greed and the worst aspects of humanity.
Landon Rivera
That is a fucking terrible meme and you probably don't understand either of the three people you mentioned to any degree.
this is why I love that video so much, it triggers zoomer psueds so easy wait a second. dagoth ur was the ultimate collectivist though, not a libertarian.
