NSG, extraordinarily liberal?

Proud brainwashed randroid, at your service.

Becausing advocating people to be left alone is too much for some.

Sounds like you just skimmed through Fountainhead until you found a few lines that out of context confirmed your political identity. Like every libertarian ever.

I wonder how many Randians have actually read Atlas Shrugged.

The only book that makes me want to fast myself to death the way some Jains do at the end of their life.

I mean don't get me wrong while it is readable it makes the book of quotes by Mao Tse Tung seem legitimately practical.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

No, the younger generations are listening to the idiots in the GOP and reading shit by Ayn Rand. They're becoming anarcho-capitalists before they even know how to do taxes. The Right is brainwashing the children.

The young are listening to the GOP?

What.

At least in my experience, yeah, a lot are. The amount of teenagers and 20-somethings that are hardcore neocons is kind of startling.

I wouldn't call it readable. It's horrifyingly boring, selfish, and borderline psychopathic.

[Bezkoshtovnya]

It is true. 95% of the players on NS are highly liberal. And 90% of that 95% are incompetent.

Both of those stats are incredibly off kilter.

I.. I don't think so.

Yeah, Rand really wasn't a good person.

In my experience people love to vote the party they adamantly know won't solve their problems.

At least in the U.S of all places.

Want to solve female teenage pregnancy?

Vote the Republicans in so we can abolish your public schools sex education, and restrict the ability for your teenagers to get access to abortion/contraceptives.

I consider myself libertarian. (well, close; really more of a classical liberal) I can't stand Ayn Rand. You don't need to advocate self-centeredness and hatred to promote individual liberty. In fact, it's dependent on a caring populace, that takes care of people without the need for state involvement. I don't know why more libertarians and libertarianesque individuals can't see this.

[Nirvash Type TheEND]

The fact that Ayn is remembered this way makes me sad.

I wasn't speaking from looking at research, I didn't care that much. I was judging from people I know in Virginia and Colorado. Perhaps they're isolated and nontypical.

I'm not trying to argue, it's just the impression I've gotten from the world around me. Guess I just somehow know a lot of hard ass neocons.

Do you know him?

In fairness anger, and bitterness tends to make people downright unpleasant.

They were pretty good at trolling people over the Israeli/Palestinian issue.

How'd you like her to be remembered?

Yeah, Rand really wasn't a good person.

Do you know him?

Who does? She's been dead for fifty years.

Are you saying that Objectivism is just her cursing the Soviet government for forcing her family out of the country?

Bad luck.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Yeah, Rand really wasn't a good person.

Do you know him?

She's been dead for quite a while, so, no. But that's a pretty obvious impression I've gotten from her life.

Objectively.

She may have been a decent person, but I've heard she was mildly autistic, so there may have been a disconnect between personal experience and theory. It's not that she was necessarily selfish, but selfishness is still what comes through in her writing.

Well it sure beats joining the social justice bandwagon that all educational facilities promote.

Her, nice to know you can nit pick. Point still stands.
