Ah.

Is the philosophy of that particularly... shameful?

The author is super into Objectivism and Ayn Rand. It is a bit in the earlier books, but it shows up more and more and basically takes over after about book 4. From book 5 on they are more objectivism screeds than fantasy books.

Also, even for an outspoken objectivtist, he's very stupid. And just an infamously bad writer on many, many different levels.

Two famous standout scenes are the bit where the main character fights a terrifying evil chicken and the bit where the main character heroically slaughters a group of peace protesters, quote, "armed only with their hatred for moral clarity".

I mean, I feel like the chicken thing COULD be good. A chicken is just a small t-rex , after all.

Anybody know any not-libertarian high fantasy featuring evil chicken duels?

The chicken scene was ridiculous, but it didn't HAVE to be. I got accidentally shut in a hen house as a small child, and it was a genuinely unnerving experience, so I can definitely see terrifying evil chickens working, it just... didn't.
