Does it count as a meme if it's from 1985 but still structured like a meme?

If you don’t know anything about Rand or her book, the first half of that quote actually makes sense. It only goes to shit once she starts talking about “the so-called redistribution of wealth”. I agree with the parts before that.

Yes, quotes taken out of context do sometimes make sense.

Ugh! I was doing the exact same thing that crappy news organizations do! Cherry picking. Thank you for pointing it out.

Remember, kids, context is important!

No worries, we all do it sometimes.
