Paul Ryan, Alan Greenspan, etc. <br /><br />Actually most of her fans (not all) are young males with sociopathic tendencies. They tend to be selfish, egotistical, impatient, and frustrated (and therefore hostile). They see everyone around them as idiots. <br /><br />Some women have these traits too. Most (not all) are Jews, e.g. Pam Geller, and Ayelet Shaked (Israel's ultra-militant “Minister of Justice”).<br /><br />In most cases (not all) people eventually mature out of this youthful psychosis. They grow out of the Ayn Rand cult, and they join the human race. <br /><br />Or else they remain psychotic and become prominent politicians.Konradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739209449391854796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-38573211439694869982019-01-30T12:56:11.758-05:002019-01-30T12:56:11.758-05:00Her followers say we greatly misunderstand her.

[1] ...Ayn Rand was motivated by three pathologies.<br /><br />[1] She was a sociopath, lacking in empathy for other humans. Today we would call her a neoliberal. She greatly admired serial murderer William Edward Hickman as a “truly free man." Among other crimes, Hickman kidnapped a 12-year-old girl, held her for ransom, and then decapitated, dismembered and disemboweled her. When the girl’s father came to pay the ransom, Hickman placed the reassembled parts of the girl’s body in the passenger seat of a parked car, and stitched her eyes open so her father would think that she was still alive. When Hickman received the ransom money, he jumped into the car with the girl's body parts and sped off, laughing. At the end of the block, Hickman threw the girl’s body parts onto the street and sped away, still laughing. All of this inspired Ayn Rand, and she wrote about Hickman glowingly in her journals. She was so star-struck by Hickman's evil that he wrote an unfinished novel in praise of him. (Hickman was caught and hanged in 1928).<br /><br />[2] As a sociopath growing up in the USSR, she despised socialism and conformity (unless Rand personally needed it, as when she accepted Medicare and Social Security in the USA)<br /><br />[3] She was a Jewish supremacist (nee Alisa Rosenbaum) with all the evils that entails.Konradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739209449391854796noreply@blogger.com
