Go, freedom! No, not you.

Ayn Rand:
Justifying being an arsehole since 1961.

I just stumbled across this little gem. It’s a blogging site. Yay! And anyone is free to join up. Yay! Except only if you agree with the Bernstein Declaration, which is this massive diatribe about how great capitalism is. In the FAQ:

So I click on “bugger off”, and am told… “BUGGER OFF NIHILIST“, followed by a picture of Michael Moore from Team America. Missing comma aside, how on earth does not being a capitalist equate to nihilism? Well, the guy’s a massive Ayn Rand fan, and she ranted about the nihilism being taught in public schools and stuff. What kind of things can you have on a blog at this site?

You can’t promote anything that’s illegal in your country. Or any sort of nihilism such as: anti-capitalism, anti-science, anti-technology, anti-private-property, anti-individual-rights, etc.

Clearly, “nihilism” means “things I don’t like”. Anyway, that’s today’s comedy.
