Kaash: Who is John Galt?
This needs to be on this Tumblr as a reminder of everything I ever stood for and believed in, and cannot associate myself with anymore. I still love discussing and writing about Ayn Rand, but my God, I cannot believe I ever sold myself to all the shit she says. If I were to rewrite that God awful paper I gave my heart and soul to, three years ago, I — what can I say, we’re talking about two different people.
And I’m not even talking about the sexist, privileged shit she says about capitalism and rape, I’m talking about her very premise for the existence of a human being — who deserves to exist and who doesn’t, and her whole almost white supremist bullshit about eliminating everyone who doesn’t have shining blue eyes, isn’t tall and isn’t “man” enough.
How much of the American Dream and India Shining myths are rooted in capitalism as a basic premise for existence and consequently, happiness? Because if you say 100%, I’ll tell who John fucking Galt is.
I believe in Capitalism. (Do I ?) I like reading Rand. I love Roark. I disagree with Rand. She gets on my nerves and I feel violated. I don’t buy India Shining. What the hell. “John Fucking Galt”.
