Farking Fountainhead douchebaggers

Had to bite my tongue today to keep from losing a job over a tech support company's douchebaggery... Ayn Rand's followers are totally nuts in the head.

On the one hand they espouse their Objectivism bullcrap and on the other, they act like their clients are encephalitic babies who need their benevolent tyranny. Apparently, Objectivism only applies to themselves as "lords" over everyone else, who are all idiots.

Total. Fucking. Sub-intelligent. Douchebags.

(sorry, I had to vent)

I tell them this: "It's impossible take a political ideology seriously when it's based on a fiction novel that outlines an imaginary utopia".

That shut him up really quick. The true Objectivist answer is "as much as anyone or any company wants to put into the aquifer in their unbounded quest for the almighty dollar".

But he couldn't say that because he knows it would be stupid. And the other answer, is to regulate it and perhaps not allow any at all, which goes against his ideology. Check. Mate.

Still a douchebag, though.
