@Indigo @icedquinn I honestly don't care. I don't think it's fair to strawman libertarianism with any of her quotes because while she had a lot of influence on libertarianism, the fact of the matter is is that she never called herself a libertarian (in fact she even opposed it) and Libertarianism and Objectivism are ultimately separate ideologies.
From what I understand, pure-Objectivists don't even believe in private charity because that goes against someone's self-interests while Libertarians are okay with that as long as it's voluntary. To me, it just seems like her view is the embodiment of most strawman arguments against libertarianism: the idea that libertarians are (or want to be) anti-social hermits who are against altruism.
Personally, I never read any of her works. I've been told that her works are hard to read and understand, and those who have claimed to have read them are just LARPing.
@Indigo @icedquinn I agree that he is a troll, but one time he tried to justify his claim with some Ayn Rand quote about Native Americans.
@icedquinn That language is only known for that one game written by John Carmack's son.
Purity spiraling, in-fighting, and the desire to be "ahead of the herd" is what kills virtually every niche ideology or political/social movement. Pretty much every movement that has started or gotten popular in the past decade fell victim to it: libertarianism, the FOSS movement, GamerGate, the alt-right, the alt-lite, the dissident right, third/fourth-wave feminism, the SJW movement, etc.
Is this just some psyop to destroy any movement or is this just a part of human nature?

Added the fourth (and second to final) boss. I plan on having it teleport after shooting.

@ooignignoktoo @RustyCrab @Suiseiseki @sun This guy is just taking everything Richard Stallman says as gospel, not realizing that the is a reason why the community split back in 1998. Personally, I think the "open source" movement also has flaws, but Stallman using the term "free software" to define his idea of software respecting user's freedom was a terrible mistake. FOSS seems to take the best of both worlds.
I just knew that the water fluoridation defenders were going to turn it into a "class struggle" issue.
"Oh you don't like fluoride in the water? You must hate the poor."

@noyoushutthefuckupdad I knew it was inevitable given that it was a popular service for sending in bomb threats.
You are probably better off actually paying for an email address as it makes it much harder for fedposters (fedsenders?) to make throw away accounts.
This seems like a good choice. They only charge 1 EUR/Month and accept cash via mail, including USD.

@Rocket @coolboymew I've heard that the story isn't fleshed out unless you have the expansion pack installed.
@coolboymew How good is the first Unreal?
