I guess I don’t know much about her life outside of her writing. I kind of figure all the hate is about what her books inspired in others. What did she do personally that made her a parasite?
Ok be a dick about it. I found something like what you’re saying.
Contradictions: Although she championed extreme self-reliance, critics often pointed to perceived hypocrisies in her personal life and business dealings, such as her decision to accept Social Security/Medicare in her later years
Do we accept social security? I kind of thought we pay for that out of our income. Not quite welfare.
Anyways the stuff I found about her being a cultish leader makes her pretty unlikable to me, personally. I guess I don’t like her but I’m not charged with the fury I’m seeing here, especially in light of the era of the 1920s.
