Had to explain what Atlas Shrugged means to a hard line boomer libertarian. I think that sums up the depth of boomer research.

They don't know any of the books they hold as sacred.
Fucking potatoes all.

It has a few good bits. The title is funny.

The initial mystery of who is John Galt is interesting.

The rants are poorly written.

The resolution is correct though. Currency is the issue. And maybe economic isolation.

You cannot be free using other's fiat.

All of the corruption and enslavement stems from Rothschild's fiat and Rockefeller's oil.

The most polite way forward is alternative money.

It maybe possible to destroy some evil corporations with boycotts, but they're all owned by Vanguard

It’s pretty boring. Been listening but often move to something else

I thought it was pretty good, but way too long. Especially the speech given by the main character at one point. It just goes on and on.

"Atlas Shrugged" is what came to mind when Scott Adams told Whites to "get the hell away from black people".

If you haven't read any of Tolstoy's work then you're just another illiterate faggot bitch boy.

I've read them both and something else by her.... I'd know it if I saw the name. What I came away with is that she lives in a dog eat dog world and has no time for simple compassion. Personal compassion is one thing, compassion forced at the point of a gun is something different.

Rand was a bit of a psycho. You can be libertarian but still have compassion. That's what the socialists get wrong: charity is perfectly coherent under a libertarian system, so long as it's a personal decision.

I'm just going by what she wrote in Atlas Shrugged.

You will discover all laws are at the barrel of the gun.
People like her require a community to make laws forcing giving back to the community for the simple reason there is no other way to get cooperation from such a dragon set on counting it's horde in glee.
Most honest people with honor would be embarrassed by such wealth and inclined to help the community in some way naturally.

I find it amusing that libertarians themselves are the best argument against libertarianism. They are patently offensive in their unbridled greed and selfishness. They beg to be hanged more than any nigger. Unsurprisingly libertarianism is a Jewish run movement of unlimited selfish greed. The sort of boss that makes life horrible and points out it would be more horrible if you weren't working for him yet his blind spot is that he overlooks everything would be better with him dead and chickens come home to roost.

Or, better if he didn't enable the existence of employees in the first place.

I read The Fountainhead in college and my prevailing thought was "damn, I should probably not waste my time on this author ever again".

It is a poorly thought out book that suggests the things that our society “got right” can never be improved or upgraded. Computer languages and development was created after that jew wrote the book, so we can allow her some slack, but still…

Most of them have never actually read it. Most people don't read and Atlas Shrugged is a big book mostly about people talking. It's not exactly Jurassic Park. Then there's the problem of comprehension of something that large even if they do read through it.

He did not know who Atlas was or the penalty of him shrugging. I find this so pathetic. He was unable to comprehend that he was a fool. That is really the biggest of fools.

They think Jack Kerouac wrote about Buddhism and recommended it because his book was called Dharma Bums. It was about nothing but finding Christ.

He said "beat" meant beatitude, as in accepting God's Grace.

Knowing people who know what 'Tool' is is probably a bad sign.
