The internet can’t stop talking about Andrew Tate
NBC ^ | August 22 | By Morgan Sung

Note: This is from August but noticed a lot of Freepers dont know anything about him. Anyone who gets under Greta's skin is OK in my book! -RF

Once best known as a professional kickboxer and struggling reality TV star, Andrew Tate has become almost impossible to avoid on social media.

He’s a topic of conversation on every major platform. Major creators have either talked about Tate or had him on their livestreams and podcasts, often in an attempt to counter his hyper-misogynistic stances on women and modern masculinity. Teacher-focused online spaces are discussing how to handle students who have been influenced by him.

Tate, 35, continues to go viral in large part due to his extreme statements: comparing women to property, graphically describing how he would assault a woman for accusing him of cheating, and claiming that men would rather date 18- and 19-year-olds over women in their mid-20s because the former have had sex with fewer men. Since they’re less experienced in dating, men can “make an imprint” on teenagers, Tate has claimed.

In a statement to NBC News, Tate described himself as a “success coach” who plays an “online character.” He added that he makes “many videos praising women,” and that his coaching involves teaching men “to avoid toxic people as a whole.” Tate said that he tells his audience to avoid “low value people,” including “toxic men.”

“It has nothing to do for hate for women,” Tate said. “It's simply about good and bad people. My mother is my hero.”

Videos on TikTok offer a sense of the deep division that Tate has caused online: Many lampoon his messages, while others parrot his talking points. TikTok videos tagged #AndrewTate have been viewed 12.7 billion times, according to the company’s hashtag page.

Seriously? Never heard of him. With all the problems in this country especially the invasion at our border, NBC gets its propaganda narrative for the week.

Which leads to the inevitable question.
What are they trying to distract us from?

Well known, apparently, to those who spend all their woke hours searching for opportunities to be offended. This guy sounds like a latter day Dice Clay. Gold mine for the sad cases above.

Another example of the great freedom divide. One side will stop listening to the man and the other side will stop the man himself. Just my 2.

Andrew Tate is a distraction
If they really cared about rape and trafficking, they would stop letting thousands of traffickers, rapists and drug cartels into the country

Duh

Employment opportunity for lawyers.

Figure out some really oddball twist to make a federal case out of it and you too can become a renowned litigator.

He is what in current slang now known as ‘TopG’/ Top Gangsta’.

A digital pimp, a legend in his own mind & narcissist.

Constantly brags about all the money he had.

Vocabulary consists of 2 words-matrix and money.

I would say more here but he’s just not worth it

He is a British pornographer, trash celebrity, and waste of oxygen. Probably not very famous in the US.

I hadn’t heard of him, but I had heard of his father who was the somewhat obnoxious, fairly talented chess player International Master Emory Tate. Emory Tate died from a heart attack he had at a chess tournament several years ago.

I so wish the sheeple would wake up and observe what is happening. Divide and conquer is an age old tactic. It is ow being used by the MSM and US Govt to control the public. Keep the races at each other’s throats and begin taking freedoms in the name of abolishing racism.

I am aware of a teenager and a young adult male that follow Tate. They immediately concluded this was a Deep State operation. They saw him get kicked off of YouTube and followed him over to Rumble exposing millions of young men to this platform. Tate and others like Jordan Peterson’s influence are counter narratives to the New World Order.

I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if that’s true, however he is an absolutely obnoxious fool with some seriously deep seated self esteem issues
