there's a reason it's "hard out there" you know - Divisions by zero

You got it backwards mate. Young men are falling for those charlatans because they provide an easy solution to the loneliness epidemic (of which young men are the most likely victims).

Except they don’t offer a solution. If anything, they make the problem worse. They offer bullshit advice that will turn you in to a toxic person too. Normal people don’t want to hang out with the followers of Tate and the like and because they’re all so unlikeable, they don’t want to hang out with each other.

So it’s a feedback loop that gives Tate and the like more money while the followers get more loneliness. It’s sad, really.
