Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum, pen name Ayn Rand, was a Russian born American author. She's been quite influential in the american lolbertarian movement and is kind of a Patron Saint for many rightoids. And is not only limited to the US, I've seen many Ayn Rand books in sale in Brazilian Bookstores, they have translations of all of her works from Atlas Shrugged to her essays like “The Virtue of Selfishness”.
Rand was never considered a good writer, dramacels, what do you guys think of this lady?

The moral panic around ayn rand is something else. Remeber when people convinced themselves that man of steel was objectivist propaganda and that zack synder was a nazi over that. Yeah man the movie about a man sacrificing everything for humanities interest is objectivist

Actual quote by Martha Kent. In that movie Superman saves humanity not because he owes them anything, but because he choses to do so, which kind of fits her “magnanimous” ubermensch archetypes

But he rejects that in the end lol. The whole movie is him reconnecting with the world and becoming a savior of humanity. It's not like Superman sits and twiddles his thumb while zod kills everyone lol. People just aren't used to the Kent's being wrong esp pa Kent who deliberately gives advice the movie would say is bad. To many confuse Superman being morally conflicted with that meaning Superman shouldn't help others when he always resolves to help humanity at his own expense.
