Statists masquerading as Objectivists or Objectivists unaware of their contradictions?
Posted by MaxCasey 11 years, 4 months ago to Philosophy
Through very few posts on here I've been amazed that so many so-called Objectivists would unwittingly espouse beliefs that are in line with statism and the denial of man's individual rights. So amazed in fact that I can't help but wonder if these people are part of those who are paid to troll message boards and "tow the party line", or if people truly don't understand Objectivism.
Recent posts suggesting that its okay for the government to force people to work against their will and the lack of understanding of the primacy of the individual over society are some of the things I've seen recently that give rise to my amazement.
What do you think? Trolls or ignorance? Or maybe both?

Previous comments... You are currently on page 7.
You can SAY that in your subjective opinion I do not feel like an Objectivist to you, but as you yourself deny the fundamental principles of Objectivism, you leave me looking around to find the leg you claim to be standing on. Read here:

What have you ever done?
You can worship whatever fantasy you like; Christians just want to be allowed to worship as we like. We're getting tired of the 1st Amendment being twisted to mean "freedom FROM Christianity".
"Moslem pluralities"? My personal opinion is we should already have outlawed Islam in the conquered regions of the middle east (that would extend from Syria across to Pakistan). But, as my government would rather send troops to kiss Moslems arses rather than stop the spread of Islam butt-cold, I don't get what I want.
Yes, the nuclear family is a moral mandate. The natural form for humans is the nuclear family in conjunction with the extended family... think "The Waltons".
I want the southern border sealed, not all borders, just the ones with people coming across uncontrolled, bringing diseases, crime, degeneration and alien cultural practices into my home.
Would you like it if I came and squatted in *your* living room without permission?
You're not an Objectivist, in my understanding. You're an anarchist.
You cannot pass a law against that anymore than you can build a negative resistor qua resistor. It would take something else.
