"Hey, Ayn, tell be about objectivism"
"Whatever a person feels makes them happiest is moral"
"You just described subjectivism"
"No, subjectivism is the idea that whatever a person decides makes themselves happiest is moral"

>not understanding the altruism she was referring to
>the belief that one ought to live for another
>not understanding her argument

She argued altruism was evil since it can be used to excuse horrid things. Her and her family were victims of altruism when the bolsheviks confiscated her father's property.

(((Rand))) is just a buttmad Russian Merchant. The Soviets took her family's business and ran them out of the country.

I honestly agree with most of her philosophy, it's reasoning simply seems backwards. True moral objectivism can be easily argued as a logical reasoning for collectivism and altruism, while subjectivism shows that there is no such thing as something purely altruistic, and is thus a much better philosophical standpoint against collectivist altruism.
But for some reason, Ayn Rand decided to go through mental gymnastics to claim her subjectivism is objectivism.

Morality isn't subjective

It doesn't exist

But what if a plane crashes in your backyard and then the victims family's are mad and then they want the plane crash investigated but there is not government agency to investigate plan crashes,

OH WHATEVER WILL WE DO

HOW CAN WE LIVE LIKE THIS

>Be Ayn (((Rand)))
>Be the ultimate jewish merchant

Taking money from a system you pay into is not hypocritical

It makes sense though, because the definition is objective.

Timmy?

>get super butthurt when he fucks off for a young attractive lady and never see any of your friends for your whole life ever again
He actually did that?
My sides.

>She argued altruism was evil since it can be used to excuse horrid things.
Everything on this planet has been used to excuse horrid things.
What's her point?

Oh i agree, Rand's philosophy leaves alot to be desired, but one doesn't need to strawman it as saying that any act of charity is wrong and evil. because it's naive at best and at worst completely misrepresenting her position. Rand always said what people do with their stuff is their business

Charity isn't wrong. Self sacrifice to the determent of ones own self interest is wrong.

Explain.

Nigga that's Timmy from WKUK.

It's weird learning how many GoP politicians are or were hardcore objectivists.

Despite being pretty irrelevant among philosophers she probably has had the greatest political influence in the modern age. Well besides Marx.

Solid proof of reincarnation

Isn't it fair to say that most of her ideas predate her? Adam Smith came up with all this stuff. Rand just took it to autistic levels and called it a philosophy.

>Adam Smith came up with all this stuff. Rand just took it to autistic levels and called it a philosophy.

I audibly kek'd

Adam Smith was based on morality.

You'll need to elaborate on that because it could be interpreted 1000 different ways.

>be woman
>everything you do is shit
>you just do it anyway for the heck of it
There we go.

He thought free markets were moral and just compared to mercantilism. Markets would bring about a more egalitarian and equal society and markets would self normalize. He also thought that there should be public universal education and was in support of regulation when it helped the working class. He was not an edgelord at all.

Hate the game not the players

>government agency
Ayy gimme one hunnid ill investigate

Ayy the company just gave me a million dollars to say they din do nuffin ayyy lmaoooo

>>Create philosophy based around claiming subjective morality is objective morality

Most people who believe in god do this. They elevate gods subjective desires above all others.

Are you insane? When the players are the ones setting the rules of the game?

Ayn Rand x Max Stirner OTP

Hide the memes lads, here come Adolf and Lester

Oh, you mean he believed in capitalism but wasn't a turbo-autist about it like Rand? I agree with that.

Rand is literally one of the most spooked people that ever existed. Her individualist assholism was founded on spooks.

>assholism

He was literally a moral philosopher wasn't he?

stirner was a super individualist maybe even more than ayn

>Be Any Rand
>Write a shitty fan fiction with pseudo intellectual bullshit
>Bases it all on her ideal rugged individualist fantasy man that makes her snatch wet
>Pass it off as too deep for you
>be worshipped by try hard neocons for this horseshit
>take government handouts anyway

It exists in the mind, so it still exists in some form. It is subjective based on the person, who they are.

If morality is subjective, then you can't actually say that she is wrong.

> Her and her family were victims of altruism when the bolsheviks confiscated her father's property.
Taking money from a system they pay into is in their rational self-interest.

And have an obsession with heavy industry.

Ayn Rand was just a woman who wanted some big hunky engineer/architect to fuck her really hard in the ass.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

itt: people who were too illiterate to understand objectivism

Perhaps if she made a coloring book you guys would have appreciated it more.

I don't think she was completely wrong, but she wasn't completely right either.

Agreed, but she had the most round-about way of trying to achieve that.
