It’s amazing how much her opinion changed about public assistance when she was the one that was broke and needed life saving care. Ayn Rand is useless.

I’m no Ayn Rand fan, but there was no change in her attitude to public assistance. She said of course she would take advantage of a system she was forced to pay into her whole life. She thought it should be completely dismantled, but she wasn’t going to pay in and not get back.

After making a career of calling those that were doing EXACTLY what she was doing ‘parasites.’ Spin it however you want, but you can add hypocrite to all the other descriptors of her bs.

She called the people that used those safety nets parasites. People that also paid into it all their lives. What should she be considered then?

If she legitimately called all collectrs of social security parasites, that would make it a hypocritical statement. Is there a source of her saying that? Specifically SS after being forced to pay in?

I’m glad she eventually had a corrected view.

She had a corrected view for herself. Not for anyone else.

She was racist as fuck too. Like manifest destiny level racism towards Native Americans.
