When did it become so cool to hate on Ayn Rand?
when they discovered stirner
Shortly after her first badly written book was published
>>8211750
Which was...?
>>8211767
ancap fag can't you google what her first novel was, or do you need your boss's permission to use the internet?
>>8211771
>or do you need your boss's permission to use the internet?
Pardon me?
>>8211771
Why don't you fill us in on the bad writing of We the Living. What were some of the points you felt were bad writing?
She's never been accepted by academia. She has always been a hack philosopher. She can't seen to comprehend that academia doesn't like her philosophy because it's wrong so she assumes it's because they all assholes. Then her and her weird almost cult thing go on huge loud tirades attacking academics. She made it cool to hate herself pretty much from the start.

>She's never been accepted by academia
I hate to defend Ayn Rand, but the same academia made up by socialist jews?
>>8213275
>muh academia
you poor fool
>>8213317
>Can't prove me wrong
>Just says my post is b8 (the socialist jews one)
Brava lefty cuck, brava
>>8211727
What's with all the rand defending all of the sudden? Are you guys mad your moms ran out of tendies?
>>8213324
It probably has to do with the general decrease in age of the average /lit/ user.
>>8213323
>can't spell bravo
>joos!!!!
ayn rand supporters everyone
The moment she was born a woman
60 or 70 years ago I guess.
>>8213323
>Says something outrageous
>Doesn't provide an argument or proof
>Complains someone doesn't give proof
Either b8 or stupid. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.
"She developed some of her views in response to questions from her readers, but never took the time to defend them against possible objections or to reconcile them with the views expressed in her novels. Her philosophical essays lack the self-critical, detailed style of analytic philosophy, or any serious attempt to consider possible objections to her views. Her polemical style, often contemptuous tone, and the dogmatism and cult-like behavior of many of her fans also suggest that her work is not worth taking seriously..."

You realize that your academically "correct" opinions go against the very nature of what academia is supposed to be?
You literally subscribe to a mindless circlejerk full of disgruntled professors who want to feel validated.
>>8213433
>you aren't allowed to hold this opinion
Nice sophistry m8
>>8213437
>le strawman
Nice appeal to authority m8
You can keep covering your eyes and ears and hope you're right because jobless old men with degrees say you are all you want, it will only hurt you in the long run. Unless of course you have the self discipline to become such a jaded professor.
>>8211727
because its a perfectly valid response to a retarded 'philosopher'
>>8213458
not an argument
>>8211727
I liked Anthem
>>8211727
The rise of 'liberal' virtue-signalling culture
and their general revulsion to the idea people might not deserve equal treatment
>>8211727
This is basically how opinions towards Ayn Rand work.
Capitalist Businessmen who are very successful
>Ayn Rand is justified. People could not survive without inventors and sellers.
Liberal Pansy on welfare and living with parents.
>give me everything because I deserve it! IT'S A HUMAN RIGHT! Ayn Rand is crazy!
>>8214126
>1. People who miss read Aristotle.
>2. Those that don't.
You can be right wing and still think she is shit.
Ayn Rand is Post-Industrial Aristotelian Logic.
Plebs get confused and (As)sperg out:
00:29:49 - Read Ayn Rand. - Oh, dear God.
00:29:51 Have you read her books? They're awful.
00:29:53 Well, they weren't meant to be Moby-Dick,
00:29:55 they were meant to make you think.
00:29:57 A guy bombs a building, the rich go out on strike...
00:29:59 I-it's a 12-year-old's view of the world.
00:30:02 It's like basing your philosophy on the books of John Grisham.
00:30:05 You should reread them.
from the Good Wife who have a hard-on for shitting on Ayn Rand.

Are you saying that only socialist Jews are educated?
>>8214115
And is your school a highschool? Because if is it doesn't count.
>>8216852
University. I have been told that some places in the UC teach her too.
>>8215651
>Are you saying that only socialist Jews are educated?
In the same way a cannibal is able to vivisect someone, yes.
>>8215651
Socialist Jew academia constantly redefines "educated" and intelligence to suit their own ends. That's why even though I'm super smart and redpilled on everything, nobody at a school ever told me I was smart.
>>8213332
>jews dont exist
I noticed STEMfags have a soft spot for Ayn Rand, I find them repulsive. You boil something down to Negative and positive freedoms and your political views become 1s and 0s. Typical STEMfags.
To restate my response to the other thread >>8216463, the left and more socially-focused right always hated her, and the mainstream economic right is being crashed with no survivors. Libertarians are either with said crashing right or going alt-right (which hates her for magnified social reasons, also Jews), with a few who stand firm but won't be meaningful for at least a few years. All that remains is the exact rich businessmen who disproportionately characterized said crashing economic right, and for obvious reasons and then some their influence is diminished.

>can't prove me wrong
>can't prove me wrong that academia is made up by [sic] socialist jews
not only do you sound like a stormfaggot, but no one has to prove you wrong. you have to prove yourself right.
>but it's so obvious the jews control academia and everything else
no, it's really not tinfoil anon
>>8213447
live and let live, kiddo
>>8215646
>her books are meant to make you think
sure they are. tell that to the 60-page author-monologue about how laissez-faire is the only viable system
i am so fucking sick of people being blown away by this woman who invented a magical government that protects property rights but doesn't actually need any tax money to function. it's the exact same magical principle of the generator that runs on static electricity from the air. a ludicrous pair of skyhooks that should be laughed out of all serious thinking forever.
