> I just don't like Ayan Rand at all, both what she expressed and how she went about realizing it.

Well, I think she discarded some universal principles. Like "Altruism is the worst!" is a terrible philosophy, especially if what you saw was not actually altruism but compulsory redistribution.

> He mostly talks about Greek culture, Othodox Culture and how Russia is/should be the natural continuation of them, rather than the West which to him is a false embodiment of them.

Yeah, a claim to inheriting the Romans' or Greeks' or ancient whoevers' tradition is a popular thing.

> Other than that he is very pro-current regime. Probably that's where the supposed Ukraine invasion stuff come from.

The journos claim that it was his idea and he is Putin's secret advisor or something like that. He doesn't seem like he's got Putin's ear to me, I think what Putin is doing makes sense geopolitically without recasting it as some quest to fulfill Russia's destiny, right? Any idea anyone has, you can find someone that suggested it.
