Turns out, they just want money and power. That’s it, they can’t save us. Why is this movie venerating them?
Atlas Shrugged is the conservative wet dream of “what if the rich people that totally do all the work and hold everything together got tired of the poors being so whiny and ungrateful and stopped.” It’s an-cap fan fiction.
It’s wild this mf made an Atlas Shrugged-ass movie while everyone out here is living like Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle.
Read the room, guy
Nice theater tho!

Care to tell me what is the message of atlas shruggs and the jungle are?

Ayn Rand wrote robber baron fan fiction
And then died living off social security and Medicare.
S’what I said
“Robber baron” needs a resurgence for modern times
The Jungle was a book exposing the nightmares of the industrial revolution, especially in the meat packing industry.
