Like seriously

madeofpatterns:

There’s this comic that suggests that the only thing Ayn Rand values is being at the top. When all the characters who value power and status as an end in itself are the bad guys. 

And almost all of the good guy characters engage in physical labor at some point. Characters who think they are above that or look down on people for being low status or doing physical labor are also the bad guys.

Ayn Rand promotes all kinds of evil. Including the idea that being able to do more things makes you have more worth as a person, or that people who can’t support themselves deserve to die. I’m not an objectivist or defending that worldview.

What I’m saying is that it’s disturbing to attack someone for views that are the opposite of what they actually hold.

    So glad someone is finally noticing this. So many people seem to have decided that Ayn Rand said the opposite of stuff...
