yeah that's how I interpreted it

Did ms. Rand actually say that?

It's pretty much that conformity is a cudgel against different and visionary ideas, but fashionable nonconformity is itself a particular type of conformity made worse in effectively subducting to itself meaningful dissent from the status quo.

I guess we only understand it now. Picture that guy who wears Che Guevara tees and is partidary of a soft progressiveness without really acting beyond changing his Facebook profile pic

Ayn Rand also disapproved of quoting people so delete this thread.

A fashionable nonconformist is like a upper-middle class teenage girl that identifies as a socialist and would 'totally vote for Bernie if I were 18' and is the type to unironically mention moving to Canada if Trump gets elected.

They call themselves socialists because they think it's edgy, but in truth only do it for very shallow aesthetic reasons.

On the opposite side of the spectrum are the alt-right kiddies that make hitler/ben garrison/jew memes and talk about how religion is a social-binder. These people are not actual fascists, NatSocs, or anclaps; they just want to be contrarians.

It means that those people who wear Che Guevara tees and act like revolutionary anarchists and those edgy goth kids who act out because they want to seem like non conformists are more cowardly and low than the conformists who sheep through life. South Park's Goth kids are the example of this.
