I feel much the same as you OP, but about Ayn Rand. I disagree with a lot of what she had to say and I think objectivism sounds pretty abhorrent, but goddamn. What's worse with her, though, is that the "enlightened" ones are just as bad about misrepresenting her views as the fedora-wearing tea party jackasses.

Protip: Rand did not actually believe that objectivism would work in the real world. She was actually pretty clear about the irl need for social programs, minority protections, and govt intervention. Atlas Shrugged was not a user manual, it was a thought exercise about an idealized world featuring idealized people.

And as bigoted as she was, she very publicly supported many progressive reforms like the abolition of anti-sodomy laws, which is damn near universally ignored b/c conservatives latched onto "bootstraps" rather than "personal freedom".

OP
Good points! I've never read Ayn Rand actually but like any philosopher whose work is condensed to a few soundbites and buzzwords, I'm sure folks who actually know her work are frustrated by that oversimplified portrayal of her.

Nietzsche especially was such a mass of contradictions. He perverted biblical rhetoric in his published work to serve his philosophic goals, but in letters to religious friends he would use straight biblical quotes to connect with them. Surprise, he was a human being!!
