Before the Rand topic drifts away here when Bob awakens to gift us more autism rage tweets. I never got caught up in the whole Objectivist fad of the 00s where all the YT atheists loved to mention her, I did follow some who'd bring her up (not because I wanted to follow atheists but because at the time of early 2010's they were also being critical of turd-wave feminism since they were being infiltrated as Thunderf00t was chronicling at the time and mildly fascinated how it got to a fever pitch over something like some one as fugly as Rebecca Watson beings asked out for coffee on an elevator of all things for that community to be bitterly divided, little did I know) and how it molded their libertarianism which seemed like everyone had a different definition for that and I just couldn't untangle it at the time nor did I really care. But I also noticed something rather deliberate in media after 2013 or so, that she was actively being dumped on, not just by other YTers but those in the big leagues. Colbert and John Oliver especially were putting out smear segments on her at the time (I'm sure they still do now with Token Noah on TDS and that rat lady Samantha Bee on her "Emmy Nominated" show), almost like their writers had taken notice online or spend too much time on 4chan perhaps (IDK where she was popular to talk about online back then) hell even in Comics. Alan Moore, a writer I usually like for his body of work OUTSIDE of Watchmen had apparently thrown shade at Steve Ditko (co-creator of Spider Man among others) for putting Objectivist philosophy into his stories..coming form someone like AM is kinda pot-calling-the-kettle-black given the crazy stuff he believes in.
But in a recent video by the real Anti-Bob, Razorfist, he played a speech by Rand talking about "the New Left" and gotta say, juxtaposed with the cliched images of blue-haired woke-drones and articles, she may have well been another mythical tragedy of Cassandra in the 21st century since she appeared to have called a lot of what I see today:
I know, ingore the Bernie subject thumbnail, he does go into Rand's speech midway.
