This is the ethos of the United States. If you don't like something, don't cry about it. Change it.

That's the ethos of 66% of the United States, soon to be

Adventures of augie march by bellow was a better stab at the great American novel.

...

"I am an American, Chicago born – Chicago, that somber city – and go at things as I have taught myself, free-style, and will make the record in my own way: first to knock, first admitted; sometimes an innocent knock, sometimes a not so innocent. But a man's character is his fate, says Heraclitus, and in the end there isn't any way to disguise the nature of the knocks by acoustical work on the door or gloving the knuckles."

GOAT opening lines. The American ethos in a paragraph.

Reminder that The Fountainhead is better but gets less attention because it's not as political.

Remember when Veeky Forums had the "thou shalt not discuss ayn rand" rule?

Remember how you're still a newfag?

It was from when Veeky Forums was first created and people would endlessly spam ayn rand troll threads.

I was trying to reminisce about the good old days....not tell op to stop posting rand threads.

Are you on your period?

Go back to Rebbit, tryhard psued.

I would take christfag posting, shilling radical feminism and/or natsoc any day over Ayn Rand threads.

kys Ayn shill

You caught me.

Y u mad tho?

Quality thread bro.

I'm interested in how this book often appears in Murrican 'greatest book' lists (and even 'most popular' lists, despite being an effing doorstop), but the rest of the world is barely aware of it. This is the result of Cold War propaganda, right? When did it happen, whodunnit, and how?

Ayn Rand changed my life. I was confused about my sexuality, was beta af and had got back together with the ex that cheated on me. I picked up the book and by the time I got to D'anconia's money speech, I had dumped her, stopped fapping to gay porn, became fully straight, starting working out, and began reading the Greeks, especially the Stoics.

Now I make 150k at a company and I'm not even 30.

Thank you, Ayn. See you in Durango

>"Atlas shrugged cured my faggotry"

Nice try

Because Ayn Rand is a shit author no matter how much you agree with her philosophy.

In terms of ethos of the United States, Ayn Rand is more like the Old Testament, whereas Karl Marx is becoming something of a New Gospel.

Agreed. Libtards can go back to r eddit if they don't like the truth.

Cost 50 cents at a thrift store

that's interesting. would be better if you had a novel for the second example tho

american plutocrats use it to justify their greed to themselves

How about the Communist Manifesto? That's the one everyone reads. Not like The Jungle or anything.

>GOAT opening lines.

rand fans have no ear for prose whatsoever. yikes.

and im not a lib before you try to pleb out at me.

Those are the opening lines of The Adventures of Augie March.

Jacob, you're an asshole.

he doesn't say character though right? I thought the like was daemon, so it's like spirit or self, which isn't really changeable by intent
