Atlas Flunked: Galt Goes Broke
On the internet I run into a lot of Ayn Rand supporters and they're kinda like the hardcore laissez faire capitalists of society. Their motto? Read Atlas Shrugged, full of wisdom! Of course it's just a shameless defense for self righteous profit seekers who try to sell you a kind of snake oil since they want to make you believe that an unrestricted free market will somehow magically creates a prosperous society. They hardly seem to realize that their actions have consequences for others, you can't be hyper individualists on a finite planet with billions of people...
Rand supporters are the entrepreneurs that seek the optimum playing field so that they as individuals can profit. Rand's shortsighted, selfish philosophy helps in that regard. What I find so hilarious is that they actually made movies of Ayn Rand's books and they did very poorly. For 3 movies they had a combined budget of $35 million and in the box office they acquired a revenue of $8.8 million. Which resulted in a loss of $26 million. Bad investment for sure! So with some sarcasm I can proclaim: 'Atlas Flunked!'

The Ayn Rand Hypocrisy
Immense hypocrisy by Rand. A hardcore advocate of capitalism and property rights she does a complete 180 degree turn when it comes to the Native Americans. And this from someone who held a lifelong hatred for the Bolsheviks (for confiscating her family's wealth). The Yankee snake oil double standard should be obvious.

Justin's Brain Damage
Oh the irony. Justin Templer, the mega troll who has cyber-stalked the Zeitgeist Movement and individual members for years now, apparently has some brain damage himself. I always figured the guy was a full blown psychopath but since he hints where the damage came from and with him staying up all night on Zeitgeist videos and blogs looking for dirt, it's no wonder he's bat shit insane. If you want to stop acting like a butthurt scientologist stalking people on the internet Justin here's what you should do in order to get (somewhat) normal again. Turn off your computer..! It's as simple as that and you'd do the rest of humanity a huge favor.
