Self-styled ‘misogynist influencer’ and brother, who face trial on charges including rape and people trafficking, had been banned from leaving Romania

Fucking disgusting. I feel a deeper sense of shame everyday because this is being allowed in the US.

    We are about to need to form some sort of Anti-Shithead and Fascist Coalition before this fucking terrible ideology overtakes the earth by force and turns us all into dumb bigoted orcs.

    Tate is the main inspiration for my theory that “incel” behavior and attitudes aren’t necessarily tied to involuntary celibacy.

    I think it’s more fundamental than that, and it’s just that that personality type often ends up involuntarily celibate, which amplifies their bitterness and spite and misogyny.

    But there’s another distinctive type of “incel” who, through some happenstance or another, manages to get laid. They share the same bitterness and spite and misogyny as the celibate incels, but the fact that they actually can manage to get laid adds a layer of entirely unwarranted arrogance on top of that.

    And Tate is the exemplar of that. He just radiates “incel” - only with an extra layer of arrogance on top of it.

      fully agreed, it’s cause/effect taken backwards. They think they are becoming toxic because they can’t get laid… but really they are having trouble getting laid because they have a toxic view of the world.

      and yeah agreed with the right money, connections, looks or maybe even just luck of who’s around, people with those toxic viewpoints can still get laid.

      Of course Tate himself… it’s hard to really even judge him… From what I’ve seen of him I’d say while he hates women… I think he’s just a con artist in general. He see’s everyone in terms of what can he exploit from them, how can he get money, power etc… including/especially the fanboys that worship him. He doesn’t view them as people he respects, or that he wants to help get their lives together like he thinks he is. He thinks they are suckers that he can get to give him money on every one of his scams, and he knows what to say to keep them viewing him as some big alpha dog. of course like all exploiters, his goal is to let them feel powerful while bowing down to him, by convincing them there is someone below them on the food chain (IE women).

      Involuntarily celibate people are that way specifically because their personality is shit. Most of them are narcissistic for sure, so they turn off any self respecting woman.

      Now, there will always be women with absolutely garbage self esteem who will enter into a relationship with such a person because they feel like they have no other option.

      But yeah, you’re right. Being an incel is more about their personality disorder than not having sex. They basically want a house/sex slave and don’t see women as people.

      I think you’re missing a big factor: money.

      When you have enough money, you can pay to not be celibate. The difference between Andrew Tate and the chuds who worship him is Tate has enough money to pay (or forcibly coerce…) women for sex. His crowd doesn’t.

    Andrew Tate has huuuuuge “what are you gonna do, shoot me?” energy…

    And I just don’t think that will work out in the US.

    Like, there’s the whole movement of hyper aggressive assholes who just constantly push the acceptable boundaries of the social contract because they feel protected by it…

    But they’re constantly trying to push down the only thing actually keeping them safe from the repercussions of their own actions.
