Oh, that Cory! I mean, it’s not like Rand wrote a novel about a handful of inventors, artists, doctors, and heirs to huge family businesses ragequitting a mass society of “moochers” and “looters” and other hoi polloi layabouts, destroying/withdrawing their own magic alloys and magic engines and other benefits to the undeserving masses, and only agreeing (via a turgid statement of the author’s own ideology disguised as a radio address) to return when said society recognises their greatness as individuals and puts them in charge.
Nor did she write another novel about a brilliant and talented architect who eschews mass society’s and his own industry’s debased tastes, manages to starting building his masterpiece edifice despite all these Takers, and then destroys it when they don’t allow him to have his way (later re-building it after he wins a trial based on a statement about his individual greatness that’s really a thinly disguised polemic on the author’s ideology).
Yes, obviously Cory has never read anything by Ayn Rand.
