    The most realistic part of Atlas Shrugged is how the Epstein Class can’t get anything done without the working class.

      The most realistic part is how the working class aren’t viewed as people. The Epstein class believes that they are the working class, because they don’t need education, they have money, and money makes right, because if they weren’t right and hardworking and ethical, they wouldn’t have that money.

      They believe that they are the ones to propel society forward, and without them, the world would stagnate and revert to some kind of pre-barbarism stage.

      It is a putrid philosophy, and a sermon dressed up as fiction that’s completely divorced from reality, written by an idiotic, spoiled, scared, little bourgeoisie girl who believed that she deserved better simply because she wanted it hard enough.

      The entire thing makes so much sense the moment you realise it’s written by a terrified little child who up until then had everything handed to her on a silver platter her entire life. It resonating with the Paedophile class makes so much sense because they’re all terrified little children who just want to be exceptional and admired by everyone.

      That’s why Musk does the idiot stunts he does. It’s why he’s so desperate to be invited to the “cool kids” club all the time. It’s why he fucking paid some idiots to powerlevel his Diablo account or whatever. It’s why Amazon man had to go to space.

      They’re all the same fucking pathetic little failures of society, desperate to be more than they’ll ever be.
