is ayn rand god or shit tier?

Yes, you absolutely have wasted your time if you were expecting some kind of deep philosophy. I liked Fountainhead but I don't understand the Randian cult at fucking all.

why? it's really simple.
she's telling you that it is not only okay to follow your own personal interests in every single facet of your life, it's actually vital for the fate of mankind. selfishness is next to godliness.

ayn rand is for insecure losers. go to stirner if you want something more realistic.
not to say caring about yourself above all is a bad thing, but her moralistic take on it is fucking retarded and tailored for massive faggots.

the rape scenes are the only original bits. they're like 0.25% of the books

>>9967301
does she have a rape fetish or is rape somehow okay in her ideology

>>9967301
>>9967306
of course she wants someone to rape her she's a fucking goblin

She said Aristotle and Victor Hugo were some of her biggest influences. So read them instead

Murray Rothbard broke off relations with her after she told him to divorce his wife because she was Christian.

I don't get why people like her. Her work is long, and stale, and if you're looking for something specific, or even all of her "philosophy" you can find them in better places.
Reading an economics textbook from your local uni will get you more into capitalism.
