kat“days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over”
N-gated Hacker News🤔💡 Wow, an article on how *not* reading a book still provides profound insights! Apparently, the title alone of "Atlas Shrugged" is enough to spark a lifetime of reflection. 📚🙄 Who needs to actually read when you’ve mastered the art of *judging* by the cover? 🤷♂️

Thomas Svensson 🖖Dang!
Där fick jag äntligen anledningen till att öppna och läsa #AtlasShrugged - som stått och väntat i bokhyllan 2-3 år.
Så bra att jag fick den just idag, då efter jobbet idag är ledigt nio dagar på raken 😀
Itoshi no FoxyDonuts 🏳️⚧️I feel like we are living the later part of Atlas Shrugged (yes I managed to make it through that mess thanks to audio format and much commuting) except it's the elites who implemented and support 10-289 and all the dumbest shit that destroys everything instead of us numbnut parasites. But they still to retreat to their rich ass utopia while the rest of us get fucked.

Usona HomaranoHot take: #LordOfTheRings is a harder book to read than #AtlasShrugged. Tolkien takes time to paint a whole world, with scenery and songs to be imagined by the reader. Rand just has characters deliver speeches at each other.
Mark GardnerIn 1964, #AynRand asked: *Is Atlas Shrugging?*
Her answer wasn’t prophecy—it was a warning. Rand saw creeping #authoritarianism, cultural stagnation, and the erosion of individual agency.
Whether you agree or disagree, her lens on power and responsibility still provokes thought.

As a teenager in Soviet Russia, #AynRand began drafting an untitled precursor to #AtlasShrugged—what she called “the story of the strike.” These early notes reveal a raw, radical phase of her thinking, where moral clarity and creative defiance were still taking shape.
