Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

What's so convenient about this is there's no falsification. If you live according to Rand's doctrine and don't achieve then it's not your fault, it's the parasites who leech off your obviously superior talent. One day, though, people like you will stop producing and the entire world will screech to a halt.
It's this self-aggrandizement that makes Rand attractive, and even allows people whom she would probably view as parasites to see themselves as innovators. It provides a ready-made model of haves and have nots, and everyone can easily view themselves as a have being dragged down by have nots. It's the same set of tendencies that makes nationalistic philosophies like facism so attractive, you tell one class they are superior and all their failures are due to the other classes.
(bold mine)
Anyone who comes to the above conclusion has either 1) not thoroughly read Rand or 2) thoroughly read but not understood Rand. It's really tiresome to see her philosophy repeatedly summarized so erroneously like this.
