a few days ago, I went to an mom and pop discount/used bookstore, I haven't been in years but I thought maybe i'd happen across some decent theory to read.
Nothing, absolutely nothing remotely left of obama/neolib dems and tons of conservative grifter books.
and worst of all, probably, i'm not kidding, 28 copies of atlas shrugged and other ayn rand books on the shelf and another box of them near the counter.
Idk if the store was owned by a libertarian or if one just donated a small truckload of ayn rand books but I was just like "jesus christ."
i refuse to waste my time on it with so many other books i want to read but as i understand it the whole thing is basically rand constructing situations where gender flipped mary sue characters can espouse her world view for twenty pages while the other characters patiently listen which sounds like bad fanfic level writing.
From her character descriptioms, I just assume all the "good guys" are minecraft characters with their square, angular faces, and all the "bad guys" are just Roblox characters with their soft, rounded features.
Yep, the "looters" all have "expressionless grey eyes" and are either balding, "droopy faced" or both.
Also all the "hero's" are blonde haired and blue eyed. It's literally an aryan dom fetish novel.
Good guy:
The glare cut a moment’s wedge across his eyes, which had the color and quality of pale blue ice – then across the black web of the metal column and the ash-blond strands of his hair – then across the belt of his trenchcoat and the pockets where he held his hands. His body was tall and gaunt; he had always been too tall for those around him. His face was cut by prominent cheekbones and by a few sharp lines; they were not the lines of age, he had always had them; this had made him look old at twenty, and young now, at forty-five.
Bad guy:
He had a small, petulant mouth, and thin hair clinging to a bald forehead. His posture had a limp, decentralized sloppiness… a body with an elegance of line intended for the confident poise of an aristocrat, but transformed into the gawkiness of a lout. The flesh of his face was pale and soft. His eyes were pale and veiled…
I once told myself that I was going to read atlas shrugged in order to understand my enemies' though processes, but when I went to my parents' book shelf, fished out their ancient copy and saw that it was 1000 pages I was just like "fuck this."
Still millions of times more entertaining than Atlas Shrugged. If you're going to read a nonsensical fantasy story, at least choose one with clever wordplay.

my man came out the womb looking like Kenshiro
as a writer of bad fanfiction, even we don't pull shit like her.
true, i was being unfair to fanfic writers. rand is truly in a shit category of her own

Gonna be honest, Hitchhiker's was a letdown.
So was Good Omens for that matter.

I enjoyed both but yeah neither is amazing
lefties keep bookshelves, and sometimes read books we're given.
other sorts of people... kind of don't do either thing.

Is there anything stopping us from requesting millions of copies of those awful books to make the Ayn Rand Institute lose money?

The books can be reused for craft projects or as firewood.
Sounds like a free source of toilet paper.
