It's kind of scary how there's been a lot of these scam artists that are specifically targetting lonely single men... and the fact that a lot of these men are falling for it as well. Most of them, like Tate, just feel like discount Alex Jones when it comes to their marketing.

I don't really understand/know who he is. Why exactly does he have followers? Like what does he actually provide them? All I have ever seen him do is basically just go "im better than everyone fuck you". Like what does he actually do that makes people want to ally with him?

Gives them easy "solutions" to problems so they don't have to actually try and fix said problems.

Allows people to be assholes and has a discord with "teachers" that google shit and spout it to make young boys think they are better and take all their money.

A lot of people out there are just straight up adrift morally/culturally/socially. There's a lot of sharks and leeches out there looking to drain these people of their money and break their brains.

They sell inherent superiority that can be attained through hatred and just wanting it really bad/acting like you already have it. It sells a vision of domination that is seductive to people without healthy connections to others or good life skills.

I think Tate is beyond the pale in terms of level of craziness, so this applies less for him.

A lot of guys feel lost and helpless. They feel like the world is against them. Most people are unsympathetic to their struggles. So when some one reaches out a hand and says they care, you might choose to ignore who is on the other side.

This topic is a pretty good example of what drives people towards bad role models.

On this board at least, I don't see people even aligning with what Tate has to say, or agreeing with his rhetoric. They just like that he pisses the libs off, and don't really care about the specifics of how.

Most sporting/E-sports celebrities seem to go this way (Cult-ish/Male Success Gurus). Much like Wrestling celebrities go to become actors.

We've seen it with Andrew Tate, and "Hustlers University"

We saw it with that E-sports guy -- Athene (Bachir Boumaaza), as well -- he ran something call "The Singularity Group"

The People in charge of the world and those who own the majority of wealth love the status quo. They want us all to stay in our comfort zone so they can hold onto their wealth and power and become even richer because theyre greedy fucks. 99% percent of us work so they can become mega wealthy. I believe he calls this the matrix.

I dont doubt that there is, but his delivery of the message is impeccable. He spews a lot of crap but I have no problem ignoring those and only getting to worthwhile stuff.

Andrew Tate does give solid life advice like self-improvement... but so do other scam artists/charlatans like the Liver King and Alex Jones. Like they say, a broken clock is right twice a day, which is very relevant to these scam artists that is part of the "manosphere".

With that said, I do get that they're simply a symptom to the main problem and getting rid of them will only mean another takes its place. We should absolutely take a better look at the main problems a lot of lonley single men are facing without making fun of them... or without the sexist, alt right garbage.

Im not sure what you mean by that.

Tate has frequently told men to get off their ass and improve themselves physically, to grow their financial worth, to build a support network of like-minded individuals and stop chasing women who are not interested in them anyway.

Who is Tate turning them away from, that they should be going to for help?

I cant recall Tate being against those specific points, except for the body shaming one and depression. He does ridicule dudes who are fat and, again, basically yells at them to join a gym and change that. I dont know much about depression, but Ill agree hes not a medical professional and should never try to speak as if he is one.

Maybe you have seen an interview I havent, as there are many. I still dont know who hes turning men away from, unless youre implying they should go to women for help.
