      He has "mixed feelings" about them, then immediately goes into fanboy trivia about his favorite character

        And mixes up private and personal property throughout, which is fucking weird for an anarchist to do.

      I don't wanna get into the territory of sexual pathology as politics, but Rand apparently had some kind of submission and/or rape fetish that probably leaked into her general worldview

        Internalized misogyny is a fuck. Rand wrote a lot in Atlas Shrugged about it somehow being empowering for women to “allow” themselves to be owned by men.

        If you don’t reconcile or accept your fetishes / sexuality, it will absolutely come out in random unhealthy ways that are extremely obvious to everyone else.

          It's like she's the evil mirror universe version of William Moulton Marston.

        As someone who has read Atlas Shrugged, yeah, she does. Like, it's not even subtle. Every sex scene in that book is gross. And apparently Fountainhead is worse? What a world.

      Well he is on record saying that he would side with ancaps and libertarians against AUTHORITARIAN LEFTISTS (mls , leninists ,maoists etc)...

      We like to mock takes like that as "reddit anarchist" phenomenon but fucking popular figureheads of "libleft" thought have these wall worthy radlib "viewpoints". Too much chomsky or Bookchin rots the brain

        Sectarian brainworms in general are cringe and don’t reflect the realty of leftism in the imperial core. Important not to read any theory as scripture, leads you down the path of the armchair lifestylist.
