As far as I understand it, the Randian philosophy is believing in the rights of the self above all else - to the extent that the world exists only for the self, and can be thought of in the sense that it doesn't exist for anyone but the self. Hence - climate change, resource depletion, the rights of others don't matter unless they directly impact you.
It's a delightful concept and is incredibly appealing to whiny white incels, it would seem.

Is there a Rand quote where she states that individualists must by necessity behave like massive pricks?
Or has Mr Spamdick innovated on that himself?
It remains theoretically possible to be a libertarian and still be a civil human being, or to hold your corner without embracing sexist memes or dressing like a Rabbi. But hey ho.
