Re: Do you avoid people who like certain things?

Yeah, that's the thing for me, too. Even to enjoy Rand as entertainment very much requires accepting a world view where both a person's worth is measured by financial success AND that success happens or does not happen because of their inherent worth. At best, that's an absurd wish-fulfillment fantasy. Neither personal success nor financial markets actually operate that way; the difference between a nobody who dies unknown and a billionaire often isn't that the billionaire was Just Better or Harder Working, but just that the future billionaire had the luck to be in the right place at the right time.

And when it's the reverse, that a person who has fallen on hard times deserves those hard times, that the poor and disabled deserve neither aid nor empathy—fuck that, I do not believe in a world where leaving people to die as worthless is acceptable. There are rights I believe even people I loathe should have, without question.

(In other words, I'm totally the strawman villain of the book lol)
