So why is Ayn Rand so popular now?

So why is Ayn Rand so popular now?

Her line of thinking holds a lot of sway over greedy asshole Republicans, especially when the Republican party has made being a greedy, hateful piece of shit come back in vogue. They get to live out their LOLZ KEEP YA GUBMENT TO YASELF fantasies through her ridiculous, awful books.

I can see the appeal to nerdy men in their 30s, as it appeals to their slightly sociopathic ego, but why do I see hipsters reading Atlas Shrugged?

Now I'm shrugging.

Ayn Rand seems to be big with college kids, but I think it's always been that way, no? A lot of the ideas she proposes seem RADICAL and FRESH when you're not particularly bright or know much about politics, which (speaking as a college student) seems to define the majority of my peers. :-\

But I know her books are also coming back in vogue with Republitards and Wall Street types, because they basically say "LOL TRYING TO BE A DECENT PERSON GOES AGAINST OUR NATURE, LOOK HOW AWESOME THE WORLD WOULD BE IF WE STOPPED CARING ABOUT ANYONE BUT OURSELVES AND OUR OWN INTERESTS". Which fits perfectly with their line of thinking.

Maybe its because I live in a predominantly French community, but I never really saw Ayn Rand hit such popularity as I do now. And we don't have the Republican factor to blame it on. For a while though, everyone was reading Dianetics :(

I remember seeing some sort of alternate ending to Atlus Shrugged where the industry titans had created their utopia. At their first feast to celebrate it the head guy gives some drawn out speech about how they escaped government oppression and the filthy workers. He claps signaling to have the food brought in but it doesn't come and there is no food. They all had gasps on their faces.

The last pane shows them working in a field and one of them says something like, "I didn't sign on for this".

Anyone have a link to that?

Don't know. That is why I was asking.

I like to think of Rand is the id ran wild. People who gravitate towards her secretly hate the fact that their "hard earned" money goes to improving their neighborhoods and funding some kid's education, and would rather be able to spend it on all the guns and ammo they want, since you never can be too careful. :usacry

The world would be a better place if no one had guns. If they were properly regulated, it would still be pretty cool. :bow

Yup, I guess that makes me some douchey college dickhole. Let me adjust my non-prescription glasses before writing my treatise on why guns totally suck, brosef.

No, I thought we were only addressing people through lazy stereotypes now. Go watch Glenn Beck. :punch

you have proved yourself to fit that stereotype, the stereotype you just slapped on me was just pulled out of your ass, although i will admit that it fits my cousin, his entire family just took a concealed carry course together and they all voted for ron paul

I thought we established that all "typical college cunts" love Ayn Rand, though. :spin

Learn how to read better, I was implying that I don't like Rand, not you. Like you said, I know nothing about you.

And I don't care to. :shh

I don't get why Ayn Rand appeals to college kids, but I've only read the start of The Fountainhead.

We spent the few posts discussing how the majority of Ayn Rand's fans seem to be confused college students, yet I am a college student who thinks her books are mad wack, yo. It was never implied that you are one of these typical college cunts, drew, nor that you like Ayn Rand, simply that stereotyping me as a typical college cunt was an intellectual shortcut to actually having an engaging discussion.

But then again you can't bother to read, and this is an internet forum. Intelligent discussion is DOA. :tbslol

I was here when this place first started and had both good times and bad times. Clearly now by having discussions with people about things I am just secretly waiting to post loli porn and make fun of black people :shh

Was this posted yet? Because seriously.

Apparently they are totally DOWN 4 GAWD, and pissed a bunch of their fans off by "revealing" that they've secretly been doing the lord's work for years. Or something. Their entire story is one ridiculous turn of events after another. :lol

Hipsters are narcissistic creatures and Ayn Rand promotes narcissism.

whenever i get into a discussion/argument with a christian it always boils down to how they cant fathom how the earth and everything in it could be here without some sort of higher power, even when i explain to them in the plainest way possible that in a seemingly infinite universe you get an infinite number of situations that will inevitably match up like a jackpot to create and support life.

i dont get how someone cant see that
