Besides Max Stirner and Ayn Rand, what other writers fought for our right to be scumbags?

Benjamin Tucker, James L. Walker, and the Marquis de Sade. Perhaps Nietzsche too, in a way.

I'd say Sade is the ultimate in scumbag apologetics. Those speeches his libertine characters give to those who they are about to rape are hilarious and profound. It's social darwinism avant la lettre.

That was Bukowski's primary gimmick.

Stirner's egoism is a resolution to an existential conflict. It's not a response to the political left.

It did cause Marx to throw a tantrum and create the political left as we know it though.

You don't fight for your right to be a scumbag.. you just are.

The only thing that separates a scumbag from an epic troll is if you manage to impart your daddy issues on a generation of people that totally miss your troll.

He's calling out Rand as an asshole with daddy issues.

Oh. Is that it? So can a egoists response to existentialism pair with a more charitable side?

Obviously I haven't looked into Stirner at all, but that's mostly because of OP's type
