This comment is in regards to a commentary by creator-of-Objectivism-Ayn-Rand-admier rAtional nAtion. A commentary titled "Oh How I I Love Myself". The person loving himself is Donald Trump. The clue to his self-love is him saying "you'll be so happy. In four years you're going to be interviewing me and you're going to say, What a great job you've done, President Trump".
My response to this post was to submit a comment in which I said "Trump must be an Objectivist" (8/17/2015 AT 07:37:00 PM EDT).
The rAtional response was to write "Not likely". (8/17/2015 AT 08:17:00 PM EDT).
After that I submitted another one in which I clarified what I meant, which was that, seeing as selfishness is an Objectivist "virtue", I assumed that narcissism was too. You know, given the fact that selfishness can also be described as love of one's self. But Mr. nAtion declined to publish my second comment.
Seems it rubs him the wrong way when I point out the truth re Objectivism and Ayn Rand. He objected quite freverently when I posted two commentaries on my blog in which I truthfully referenced Rand's hatred for poor people (SWTD #303 & SWTD #306).
| rAtional nAtion: Did you personally speak with Ayn Rand? Can you point to any statement made by Ayn Rand that she hated the poor? Can you point to or link to any statement that supports your hypothesis? Can you formulate a rational non emotional argument supporting or proving your hypothesis?
What seems to be true us you hate successful individuals and negate the importance of personal responsibility and the personal effort required to succeed. Can I prove it? No. But neither can you prove your hypothesis that Ayn Rand hated anybody. (8/16/2015 AT 2:11pm). |
I included a video in which Rand was asked if she hated poor people... and she said "no". If I spoke with her I'm sure she would have said the same thing. But her writings say otherwise. She CLEARLY hated poor people, and hated them VERY much. I don't know why rAtional brings "emotion" into the argument. Wait, I do. It's a standard Objectivist/Libertarian attack line... they view things "rationally", while their opponents view them "emotionally".
This despite the fact that humans are emotional beings and a LACK of emotion is a sign you're dealing with a sociopath... which Rand was. And Objectivism is too... a sociopathic ideology, that is.
