Do you really think this kind of jokes is a good explanation?
One can easily replace "Atlas Shrugged" with almost any book in it.
Your reply states that for you even the word "libertarian" is offensive.
- zvmaz 3y agoIf you have a penchant for Ayn Rand and her general outlook, I do not think your stance on her can change through rational discussion. There are "primal world beliefs" [1] that are irremediably incompatible. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primal_world_beliefs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primal_world_beliefs
