If they really want to commit to being the Ayn Rand institute, they should use Ayn Rand's argument for why Native Americans didn't have the rights to their land
I “like” the text of that speech because it just nakedly shows how much a monster Rand was and the natural conclusion of her “philosophy”. Showed it to a Rand stan I know and she never responded to it.
In the land of anticommunism, all roads lead to fascism.
Dare I ask?
" [Native Americans] didn't have any rights to the land, and there was no reason for anyone to grant them rights which they had not conceived and were not using. What was it that they were fighting for, when they opposed white men on this continent? For their wish to continue a primitive existence, their 'right' to keep part of the earth untouched, unused and not even as property, but just keep everybody out so that you will live practically like an animal, or a few caves above it. Any white person who brings the element of civilization has the right to take over this continent." - Ayn Rand, West Point lecture 1974
To be clear, Indigenous peoples did have property rights in their own legal codes and did work the land, so she's even wrong on the basics here, and even if they didn't would not justify genocide.
“The memorandum noted that the Arabs had done nothing for centuries to develop the land and thus had forfeited their rights to the Jews, who, with their skill, energy and resources, had already demonstrated their capacity for developing Palestine and making it prosper. Moreover, it was asserted that the Arabs of Palestine were not ready for self-government in view of widespread illiteracy and lack of education. German interests and aims in Palestine were defined as primarily economic in nature; the Jews, not the Arabs, were considered most capable of creating conditions in Palestine conducive to those interests and aims.”
many such cases
It wouldn't take much for techbros to come up with a sort of "eminent domain" for bazinga, where people could be evicted from their homes in the imperial core if some techbro promised to bring "skill, energy, and resources" to that location.
What is this a quote from?
The Third Reich and the Palestine Question by Francis Nicosia. I think re: German support for Zionist settlement in the 1920s
Whenever Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey On The Moon" poem was posted on Youtube, there was a very good chance in the comments that some cryptofascist would declare that black people would "still be living in mud huts" if they hadn't received the blessing of enslavement and tied that to more recent history as a wailing terror that magical space futures will be denied if social justice isn't wiped out as a concept. 
I'd far rather live as equals on earth than have slaves in space
West Point
Fuck the troops
Fuckhead couldn't even stay consistent; it was always a grift for her.
I've seen plenty of takes that are just this from zionists the last couple of weeks. It is just the same shit over and over with settler colonialists.
that's basically the same argument they made, yeah :/
Ayn Rand Institute
The same monster that said millions of slaughtered First Nations peoples deserved to be slaughtered because they didn't "own" the land in a proper way to begin with? 
Being a libertarian is just dressing up your support for white supremacy in fancy language
AnarchoCapitalism is a deeply unserious ideology with no historical basis and should be viewed as similarly ridiculous to AnarchoMonarchism. Fascist theory is famously incoherent nonsense, but at least there have been fascist movements in history. At least they exist.
How can an objectivist support the state forcibly moving people off the land people are entitled to, and worked for with the sweat of their brow?
Ive always really hated libertarians, and double these people, because the libertarians i know would hate it.

Even their founding monster said that forcibly moving people off the land and doing atrocities to them was cool and good because they weren't using the land correctly and there was some veiled cryptofascist bits about mud huts there too.
Youtube has been pushing neo-nazi content like crazy lately. Non-customized/personalized front page is full of Ben Shaporo, Ayn Rand Institute, etc.
Nazi website.
Been getting random trans hate videos/shorts every so often, gets a lot worse when I open a fresh container off my cultivated feeds. Inevitably also see Mr. Beast videos and part of my soul gets absorbed by his soulless smile.
I swear there was even an admission from someone at Youtube that their algorithm was biased towards that kind of content, but I can't find it now. Chuds really like to whine and play the victim even though 
and 
are among the people who've benefited massively.
I'm curious what deluded bullshit this will be hoping to attract completely uneducated people, but I know I'll get pissed off so I'll stay away
"I know I'll get pissed off, so I'll stay away."
That is a daily experience for me, I'm already pissed off enough about many things to a point where it's negatively affecting my mental health and life in general. I keep ignoring articles, videos, discussions, etc. that are both relevant and interesting to me, but I know I'll just be angry at the end, so I ignore them or save them to read/watch later when I feel I can handle it. But things are being added to that list faster than I have moments and mental energy to go through them all, even when I consciously don't save many of them.
They aren't that important and if they are you'll go through the effort to track them down again. Just a tip from a fellow digital hoarder!
Weird because a looong time ago when I was a libertarian nerd I was still pro-Palestine. Like, it’s a pretty straightforward thing even from a libertarian perspective.
Me too honestly lol
that's the contradiction of american right-libertarianism. young internet people get into it because they're disillusioned with party politics and want an alternative, and they don't realize that literally all its institutions and major figures are vestigial growths of movement conservatism.
They had to put DEBUNKED in bold red letters on the thumnail or else their viewers would plainly see Palestinian land being stripped away with each conflict.
Barely cohesive propaganda.
Much like Gazan hospitals exploding, Israeli territorial expansion just happens spontaneously. Just because Palestinian land happens to contract at the same does not mean Israel is stealing land.
i watched it.
it was not worth it.
the only thing stalin did wrong was give ayn rand an education 
Stalin really did a shitty job with that.
He was also part in creating the zionist entity.
it was gromyko that spearheaded the very temporary pro israel position, Stalin did not. The Pan-arab movement at that time was also being subverted by the british (until Nazzer created an actual pan-arab ideology). It was bad, but soviets fully and absolutely denounced zionism soon after the Nabka. Stalin was anti-zionist his whole life, but this part is where the politburo overruled him. Although he could have pushed harder against it.
the died on a toilet institute? weird.
Now that you mention it, I've never seen Elvis Presley and Ayn Rand in the same room before.
Come to think about it, I’ve never seen Adolf Hitler and Joe Biden in the same room before.
fascinating then where did the land come from
guarantee it's literally just "israeli courts found that legally the land belonged to israel, so no theft occurred."
me and my deboonkers have come to deboonk
We'll do the de-boonking around here.
