Can someone explain this shit? I haven't read any of Rand's books, though I think I read that she's considered a misogynist, which, if true, would have the lollable effect of making her actions consistent again (women are shit so they naturally seek help / welfare).

Also what is it with the armchair economists on /lit/ who discuss the merits of Marxism / Communism in practice while having zero (or very little) knowledge of economics and convulsing in anger as soon as you try to talk about human nature or real life events from the past 100 years? I'm not passing judgement on their viewpoints, I just don't get this way of looking at problems.

The only philosopher frequently touted here who didn't really live up to his philosophy is Nietzsche.

Most /lit/ posters are high schoolers and undergrads with no real life experience. Their understanding of the world is not only entirely theoretical, it's self-taught, so they pretty much don't know shit about anything.

Objectivism is retarded independently of Ayn Rand as a person. But there's some kind of cult of personality around her person, which makes her acts relevant.
Also, stop writing like an idiot, this isn't /pol/.
