>Sex @ Dawn
That sounds maybe interesting. Is it of the evolutionary psychology position where women want to be raped and men are either alphas or faggots, or is it more nuanced than that?

>You tripping, pizza!
I really like having food trips around, because whenever they post I can taste their name a bit. That's why I hate shitposters so much WORST JOKE OF THE YEAR COMMITTEE, WE HAVE A CONTENDER FOR 2011!

This book is awesome. Also, while we're talking black history, Malcolm X was just fucking great, every damn page. Fuck.

The World Without Us is my favorite environmental book.

I'd throw in Next of Kin, too. That book is about sign language in primates, totally changed my view about animals.

Okay, I'll make a list:

Stage hand
Day laborer
Movie Theater Usher
Administrative Assistant
Teacher Evaluator (some temp bullshit)
Bus Rider (some temp bullshit)
A bunch of other weird temp jobs
Table refinisher
Telemarketer (fundraising for left wing)
Telemarketer (appointment setter for home improvement, big scam to rip off houses)
Census Worker
Customer Service Representative
Telemarketer (fundraising for right wing)
Another admin assistant
Street canvaser (lasted a day)
Day laborer

Thankyou, thankyou.

>>1565847
I've had my political beliefs for a while. They're essentially the same since, I don't know, age twelve?

>>1565836
Hmm?

>>1565829
>>1565829
Also, I think Che's somewhere in there.

Out of curiosity, did you recognize the quotes or did you google them?

<-- Undeserved image.

>>1565829
Oh man, you ruined it.

Fucking great thread, though. That was maximum trolling. It gave me a laugh. I prepared a pic, but I guess I got caught in the act.

Thanks everyone who played along and thanks everyone who doesn't know shit about anything.

For the record, I've never read anything by Ayn Rand, but Marx is pretty cool.

>>1565827
Can you name a commie who can say anything smart?

Even if you disagree with her politically, here are some great apolitical quotes:

>Ideas do not exist separately from language.
>The object of art - like every other product - creates a public which is sensitive to art and enjoys beauty.
>The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.

How can you read these and not admit she's intelligent.

Also, what happened to that bitch who pretended to know about Marx?

>>1565808
And what philosophy do you subscribe to that's so intelligent?

"What's sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose."
>A cute quote by Ms. Rand, queen of kings.

>>1565803
>>1565803
I'm gonna guess you don't know shit about Marx.

If you can prove to me you know shit about Marx, I'll shut up. But it's my opinion you haven't read anything about him and you get most of your information about economics from Michael Moore movies.

"Philosophy stands in the same relation to the study of the actual world as masturbation to sexual love."
>Ayn Rand, being awesome again

Justice remains the tool of a few powerful interests; legal interpretations will continue to be made to suit the convenience of the oppressor powers
>Fuck the government, amiright?

Here's one everyone can agree on:
"The final hour of colonialism has struck, and millions of inhabitants of Africa, Asia and Latin America rise to meet a new life and demand their unrestricted right to self-determination."
>How can you disagree with her on that? Hit me with your best shot.

>>1565786
No, you are insane.

I repeat the writings of the most important thinker on class of the past millennium and you call me insane for having a view different from you. Does it not occur to you that your views look to me as unstable as mine look to you? If you evaluate these quotes objectively, you'll see there is a lot of intelligence behind them. If you disagree, articulate yourself.

Stagolee, I know you have more great Rand quotes, GET IN HERE!

"Accumulate, accumulate! That is Moses and the prophets!"

"The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall."
>from Atlas Shrugged, makes sense in context

>>1565767
If you disagree with the Randster, I invite you to tell me how she's wrong. Communism is a simple philosophy that can be summed up in one edict that has never occurred in the whole of human history. More quotes:

"A spectre is haunting Europe; the spectre of Communism."
>a fav for sounding cool

"A man cannot become a child again, or he becomes childish."

"Since labour is motion, time is its natural measure."

"The religious world is but the reflex of the real world."
>atheist ftw

I remember this kid in middle school who used to tell this joke about a tomato a lot. It got a big laugh once, so he repeated it all the time.

I think your moment in the sun is over.

I don't like her writing style (lot of tl;dr), but I think Rand was brilliant. Can we just do an Ayn Rand quote thread for a while?

"Our enemy, and the enemy of all America, is the monopolistic government of the United States of America."

>>1565759
>I was mentioned!

But no.

And also your welcome guy who thought that jerking rant was funny.

>>1565746
Got some more good ones for you, Stag

"Democracy is the road to socialism."
-Rand
It's great how she recognizes the rule of the elite in defending the masses from their own barbaric tendencies.

"For the bureaucrat, the world is a mere object to be manipulated by him."

"It is absolutely impossible to transcend the laws of nature. What can change in historically different circumstances is only the form in which these laws expose themselves."

"The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property"

"Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included."
-ayn rand
