I’m going to say this slowly.

If Andrew Tate & his ilk were right about ANYTHING they’d have no audience.

Guys would listen briefly, apply advice, & be WAY too busy with their new gfs, side-pieces, & high income hustles to bother tuning in.

It’s the Tinder principle: if you’re happy, they lose a customer.

Their business model is your unending misery.

@westwarddrifter he’s a rapist and sex trafficker who tells boys women are nothing but trophies and they’re worth nothing if they’re not rich. There’s nothing good in that.

well said.
Moreover the 'good things' the Tates say are part of the overall scheme. That's how radicalisation works. It starts with positive, normal conversations that look helpful and supportive. Then the poison starts, little by little, until it's not possible to distinguish between the two anymore.
It's an abusive pattern of behaviour after all.

@flamingored @Catvalente @westwarddrifter This is also how Nazis, Maga, and other extremists recruit.
