You think you're not transparent as hell?

>Why does everyone hate Ayn Rand? I just finished Atlas Shrugged and thought it was a great book. The plot's a little dull at times and Rand's style can get tiresome, but it comes together and (contrary to popular belief) is ideologically sound. I've heard people criticize the book to no end, and I see nothing but hate for Ayn Rand and Objectivism in general on the internet. Why? Most justifications I see just boil down to "hurr durr she's a selfish, capitalist bitch" but I've always attributed that to the fact that the internet (reddit) is full up to the neck with college-aged libtards who haven't read anything other than Marx.

>For one thing, reddit and 4chan seem to contradict your assertions about the internet being a bunch of liberals, see the love for Ron Paul on reddit and the general sheltered white male politics of 4chan, the internet is often libertarian, as is Ayn Rand, so the logic of stereotypes used in the OP yields a contradiction, as the logic of stereotypes is want to do.

Is /lit/ full of sheltered white male politics?

Fucking eh you're right.

But a lot of people I know are doing things like engineering because they know there's money in it, not because they actually have an aptitude for it.

>mfw I find out my first-edition copies of In Cold Blood and For Whom The Bell Tolls are worth about $400-$500 together

I don't want to sell them but they might see me through a rainy day...or a rainy week, or month.
