There's no such thing as not-a-bit subjective when it comes to language.

I haven't seen anything by her on trade unions but maybe because they tend to encourage collectivist groupthink and routinely use coercion within and without ('you're either with us or against us').
Has this been your actual experience of unions, MB? We are all touchy feely partnership working these days and not something out of a "Giles" cartoon from the 1970s.

She is against collective action by heroic workers against tyrant bosses, though, for sure.

is not like other people
I just had to wait at a self-service checkout for someone to come over and make sure I was over 18 so I could buy a can of fucking Red Bull.

Rand was right, all governments should be destroyed.
take it as a compliment

I have zero experience of unions other than being a member of one in case of disaster and having to field their cringeworthily woke bulletins but a friend of mine recently stopped being a postie because of the political collectivism (= huge sample size!)

Post Office get it easy compared to zero hours couriers, what a moaning cunt

But that seemed insensitive

Think Ken Loach, Tea. Lugging freezers up stairwells and then think Biscuits‘ critique of collectivism by postie

Rand wanted a small state - police and judiciary - to protect people from coercion.

She probably thought of the police and courts as being necessary evils...it's not as if she wanted a police state.
 
Tell me if I should I read this to learn about the real Jordan Peterson
It's essentially a socialist take down of teh intellectual dark web top guys. Harris, Shapiro, Peterson... the main point is that they ignore history with no material analysis of the current moment, so end up just vouching for the status quo and pushing shallow solutions to the alienated young men that gloss over the source of their problems - eg erosion of community, precarious work etc. Draws on zizek 'the problem with 'get your house in order before criticising the world' is that it ignores that the world may have cause the disorder in the house in first place, fisher's vampire castle (to show that the pious left are often very bad at offering to these young men too), and chomsky on harris. There's the gist, you could read in a couple of sittings its short
