I am Metango, Galactic Governor


I was, no joke, assigned this for grad school and it was one of the most unintentionally funny books I've ever been forced to read

even rand admitted it was basically pornography and not to be taken seriously as a political work

e: admittedly probably in the same way the guy who made The Room tried to argue it was a black comedy

atlas shrugged is a lot like those poorly written scam emails in that it has a built in selection mechanism. If you're dumb enough to miss the weird syntax and obvious fakeness of the guy from Nigeria promising you a bunch of money you'll probably fall for the scam. If you can make it through atlas shrugged and you think it's a compelling book or she made some good points you're exactly dumb enough to become a libertarian

An embarrassing number of bumper stickers is equal to an embarrassing amount of gangtags - 1
