You either don’t know anything about Ayn Rand’s “philosophy”, or don’t know shit about libertarian ideologies.

I know enough about both to have a good laugh about them.

I mean, you're not necessarily wrong. If you have your facts off you might be laughing at yourself, tho.

I'm not gonna get super no true scottsmanny, but ideologies do have definitions other than self-id. Rand was a loon that couldn't follow her own axioms. Libertarianism is a pretty big umbrella.
