How about I show you what being bluepilled on Rand looks like instead?
This is a truly pathetic smear job from a site called "Rationalwiki" (who are anything but). The actual article is trite and immature, what I want to direct you to is it's [Talk] page, specifically the archives of the talk page which are all different. This probably is so immature as to be a complete waste of your time but let's see what you get out of it.
They've since ~slightly lessened the immaturity of the article so first I'd like to direct you to a comment "CP level of quality"
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Ayn_Rand/Archive2#CP_level_of_quality
and an old version of the article it refers to:
https://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Ayn_Rand&oldid=586099
Here is the modern version:
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ayn_Rand
and it's Talk page:
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Ayn_Rand
of which there are 5 archive pages https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Ayn_Rand/Archive1 (through 5)

Oist here no, her prose is very literalist and mechanical though awkwardly romantic. I get annoyed with other objectivists who feel the need to defend Atlas by saying it has some grand prose. Her prose is merely sufficient to the task. She's no Tolstoy. Atlas is great because of it's integration and ideas.
Her prose is not terrible but it isn't noteworthy either.
also yes I knew you were being sarcastic this whole time.

One of our old guard has resurfaced, so this may be of some value. This guy is an Objectivist specialist in homeschool education. Fantastic series of phil this guy used to do, now he's adopted this "Rand's pitbull" style of video and is proceeding to gleefully attack lolbertarians, anarchists, subjectivists, and other sundry irrationalists. Do recommend.
