jackhutton 🇺🇸Astute takedown of the Silicon Valley villains in their own language. [The Bulwark, Substack]: Elon Musk Thinks He’s an Ayn Rand Hero. Nope: He’s One of Her Villains.Recent years have revealed the Silicon Valley venture capitalists and tech entrepreneurs who worship Rand to be racists, fraudsters, and looters.

Mark Gardner<a href="https://weatherishappening.network/@wordshaper" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@wordshaper</a> I’ve noticed more and more the un-Randian ideas that others attribute to <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/AynRand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AynRand</a>. They don’t bother to read the original sources or miss the main point because they already have their own beliefs.

Timo<a href="https://mstdn.social/@DemocracyMattersALot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@DemocracyMattersALot</a> I'm holding the view that these companies that people say are 'obeying in advance' are not doing that. These companies are full participants in the billionaire class push to fascism, deregulation, and social isolation of the working people. Working people expect a share of the economies they participate in, and the billionaires want to squish that. <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musk</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/AynRand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AynRand</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#labor</a>

DrALJONES“Deny the best its right to the top & you have no best left. What are your masses but mud to be ground under foot, fuel to be burned for those who deserve it?”– Ayn Rand, 1936John Galt, hero of Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, "is on strike until the masses of the mud bend to the will of The Best, & govt needs to get the hell out of the way of those few who are the best."Truly despicable horseshit.. but Rand has followers in high places".<a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/11/29/get-the-hell-out-of-my-way/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/11/29/get-the-hell-out-of-my-way/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AynRand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AynRand</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> .

ClaudeMy fixating take is that everything wrong with the world now is because of <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/AynRand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AynRand</a>, <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/RonaldReagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RonaldReagan</a>, <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/MargaretThatcher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MargaretThatcher</a> and all of their heirs.

TimoHere is an interesting description of MAGA churches that explains what people have observed about them, except the article is so much better than just an observation: "The most pernicious trend in the US currently is the alignment of evangelicals and followers of Ayn Rand”. <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MAGA</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/AynRand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AynRand</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/ConservativesReallyAreThatBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ConservativesReallyAreThatBad</a> <a href="https://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2016/12/14/ayn-rand-and-us-evengelicalism-two-sides-of-the-same-worthless-rightwing-coin/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2016/12/14/ayn-rand-and-us-evengelicalism-two-sides-of-the-same-worthless-rightwing-coin/</a>
