In " Francisco's money speech, by Ayn Rand- Nitpicked.", I dismantled a bullshit philosophy written by a psychopath.

But, I think I can do it much quicker this time.

It's white supremacy.
Boom.
Mic drop.
Done.

Oh, you want that explained?
Oh, all right then.....

Pretending for the sake of argument you could even get Rand's bullshit to work, it could only work (in this country) if everyone were Vulcans, and those Vulcans started on a level playing field by undoing all the damage done by slavery and Jim Crow with reparations, and affirmative action on steroids.

But American history didn't go that way, blacks had the game rigged against them from the start with slavery, then Jim Crow, and all the way to today with biased policing, underfunded schools, and voter suppression.

And conservatives kick, and scream, and thrash, and squeal, and flail, and pants piss against any strategy short of "pull yourself up by your bootstraps", for fixing the problem.
You can't pull your bootstraps if you ain't got no fucking boots.
And the conservatives don't want to hand out any boots.
They say "the government shouldn't do it, let private charity do it".
But then they don't give to charity.

So, KNOWING this country is rigged, and KNOWING they're the ones that cut every rope, and kick down every ladder, and KNOWING it just so happens to always fuck over minorities, and KNOWING none of this is a good look on them, and NOT GIVING A FUCK, what are we left to conclude??

Yeah, it's racism.

And Ayn Rand's model of the industrialist as uber-man never has black people in it.

A big whoopsie oversight?

Bullshit.

It's white people patting themselves on the back for how awesome they are, and how much more awesome they could be if all "those people", would just go away.

It's dog whistled as "socialists", but yeah, come on.

And I've heard this shit described as "a rebellion against romanticism".
Oh, bullshit.
It's plenty damned romantic.
Sloppily so.
Just for an Aryan Superman world full of Art Deco skyscrapers.

So, there goes the Vulcanism.
Even Rand couldn't manage it.

None of the Randroids manage it.

Biggest Randroid I ever knew, went by the handle Storm Rucker, he's gone full on Trumpster.
Gee, how did that happen?
Did a little flying saucer come in through his bedoom window in his sleep, and zap his brain?
Nope.
Trumpism is where this shit naturally goes.

Oh, and one of their favorite slogans is "taxes are theft!!".

It's not just Randroids, you hear it in a lot of strains of conservatism/libertarianism, but Randroids go to it like Dirty Harry to his Magnum.

"Taxes are theft!!".
You should always answer that with "fuck you!".

Like I said last time..

Did you use the roads?
Did you benefit from the fire department?
Pay your fucking taxes.
Assholes.

These rich douche-bags think everyone's the leech on them, when they're the leeches.

Did you use employees?
Did those employees go to public school?
Did they drive to your company on the public roads?
Then you cashed in on the state's dime.
Pay your fucking taxes.

You're paying back what's owed.
It's not theft if it's your fucking bill.

Unless you cloned yourself, downloaded the education into the clones from scanned books you bought out of pocket, teleported all the materials to do so, and did every job in your company as a one man Borg collective, you goddamned owe.

Pay up, shithead.

If you feel "burdened", by society, leave.
Go eat weasel stew in the wilderness.

Nope, rich people want all the goodies, and they want it free, like a little kid.
Or a shoplifter.

Like Trump.

In fact, lowering taxes on the wealthy, and raising them on the middle class is what's fucking theft.
Tax cuts, and then hiding wealth in offshore tax shelters is sucking the blood sweat and tears of the middle class.
It's a jack.
That's your and my money in their vaults!
And their propaganda ministers are telling you its the opposite.
And Ayn Rand is one of the big ones.

Fuck them.

And fuck their myth of "the self made man".
That's code for "I didn't need anybody!", but they did, unless they're a sentient nanite cloud that created skyscrapers by pure will.

That's why all those assholes shat blood over Obama saying "you didn't build that", about that model skyscraper.
He was right, their philosophy is a lie, and I'm sure it didn't help that a black dude said it to 'em.

Fuck them.

Just like the conspiracy community has antisemitism smeared all over it, this uber-man strain of thought is stuffed to bursting with white supremacy.

This whole idea of being better than everyone comes right out of rich white privilege (and envy of rich white privilege) and nowhere else.
There's no other way you get there.
Except I guess religious supremacy, but Randism is supposed to be atheist.

And is it any fucking wonder that "Atlas Shrugged", and "The Fountainhead", sold like hotcakes in America, a country where (white) poor people see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires?

Oh, no, I'm sure all this just stumbled together by accident, and just happens to look like racist garbage in every detail.
It's not a duck, it's really a badger that got radical surgery to look, sound, act, smell, and taste like a duck.
Please.
Give me a physical break.

So, yeah, that's the long form version.

I wrap up by repeating the short version.

It's white supremacy.
Boom.
Mic drop.
Done.
