Saw the first movie (available on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85mwDN8rsFQ))
Apparently the second movie has no recurrent cast, every character is played by a new actor, furthermore there was a significant drop in the production quality.. The first movie was more or less an A-tier movie, the second hardly even a B-movie..

Is this some elaborate socialist ploy to destroy the message? Or was the failure of the filmatization of the book due to libertarians being anti-social af and only torrent the movie they watch - if the latter is the case, then have libertarians not disproven the functionality of their ideology.

tl.dr. upset about a sequel to a movie being trash and blame it on you guys or random socialists.

Nah objectivism is a shit philosophy to begin with. Can't put perfume on a turd and expect it to smell good.

I like to think of it as radical libertarianism, and that's retarded too.

I was a hardcore randianite at one point too. Read Atlas Shrugged 3 times and the fountainhead at 4 times among her other books. Then I read actual philosophy that's backed up by logic and realized I was retarded.

And the premise of the entire books is every man is an island, except when you're a big strong capitalist who exploits other people.

Objectivism is not developed in those books, she wrote about it independently.

The fountainhead is literally about artistic and moral integrity. The guy who goes after money and capitalistic fame ends up destroyed.

Free market economies and libertarianism can only work in nations with high cohesion and one dominant culture. Destroy the race of a nation, and all "philia" will be lost and nothing will work basically. Socrates was right.

Fun fact about this movie: I worked on a set with the director a few years back. He was a pretty cool guy and hated the movie. Apparently the conservative group backing it took complete creative control over the film during the edit, bought him and his editor out of the film and made the movie they wanted from the footage they had. They cut out entire characters because they found out the actors were democrats. And then O'Reilly shilled it on his show, it got one weekend box office boost from idiots watching Fox News and then proceeded to flop. And there ya go.

I was a full blown Objectivist as a teenager. As an adult, I still agree with the majority of its principles but I'm also an ethnic nationalist and believe in strong borders with very limited immigration.

The movies sucked, btw. But I guess turning a 1000 page tome with a massive scope into a couple of movies is an impossible feat. They should have done a series.
