    The issue here isn’t her being on social security, it’s her arguing against its existence because ‘Nobody should need it’.

        We did. If she was consistent, she should have just chosen to die since it’s wrong for others to help her.

          That would not be acting in her “rational self interest” read the comic. Ayn Rand was a monster but that’s just not the definition of hypocrite and it is not in line with saying “do as I say not as I do”. She said be selfish take what you can and did. I do not agree with this but I’m not pretending it’s hypocritical. It is consistent with her fucked up beliefs

        You actually were referring to the comic, not the post you were responding to. The post you responded to did not say that at all.

          I literally quoted the comment I responded to

          See also: “Do as I say, not as I do.”

          What are you talking about?
