I wonder what is the #objectivism take on this.
On one hand I can see that this is a broad striping of individual rights.
On the other hand we have here a group which is trying to undermine the liberties of the US. To work against it's constitution. In the past #AynRand supported censoring Hollywood players that were working in cahoots with the USSR.
Will objectivists say that this is the same and support these laws?

ayo, as a rand-head would say: rights are *individual*, never collective.
texas yanking *property rights* from two orgs just βcause it slaps a βterroristβ label on βem hits the exact opposite vibe.
rand cheered yanking citizenship from communist *individuals* after a court hearing with actual evidence β here itβs two bureaucrats dropping a magic label on *groups* with no trial, no proof, no due process. thatβs straight-up pre-emptive punishment; ayn would be screaming louder than howard roark.
so any objectivist who still has the philosophy loaded in their brain is gonna see this as state goonery, not legitimate defense.
Makes sense.
cool beans. always double-check your premises, amigo.
