Andrew Tate's recent arrest makes this as good of a time as any to post some thoughts I've had about him for a while, as well as some new ones about his arrest.

1. It always seemed like he was a bigger deal to the feminists and the left than he was to us. Their constant sperging out about him felt completely out of proportion to how much the Manosphere actually liked or respected him. Maybe it's the specific spaces I hang out in but actual Manosphere guys largely saw him as a grifter whose 15 minutes of fame was running out. There are far better content creators in the Manosphere than this guy. That's not to dismiss Tate's very real and very large following, but that seems to mostly consist of younger guys who are very new to pro-male movements and spaces.

2. Considering the cam whore scam he was running it wouldn't shock me if the human trafficking allegations against him are true. I'd need to see actual proof before I believe them, but they're not as crazy as allegations against regime opponents often are. That said, this is the classic playbook that the regime uses to get rid of inconvenient people. They've been trying to shut him up for months, and combined with the circumstances of his arrest (right after he crossed the patron saint of the left's climate change scam) the arrest is suspicious as fuck regardless of how one feels about the accusations against him.

3. Tate is a grifter and a con artist, but maybe instead of talking about Tate we should talk about how our sick anti-male society makes Tate a better male role model than the man bashing crap that the MSM is infected with. When soyciety tells men that they're subhumans and scapegoats them for all past, present, and future problems, any alternative that doesn't do that is going to have a leg up. When an influencer provokes outrage in someone who despises you because of your inate characteristics, you're going to be drawn to that. If an evil movement bent on making your life a living hell hates him he can't be all bad, right? As I said before, there are far better content creators in the Manosphere than Andrew Tate. But here's the thing. As far as our rotten feminist soyciety is concerned those better creators aren't any different than Tate, because they're no more willing to obey their social betters than Tate is. They don't object to Tate specifically. They object to anyone offering men anything better than existing for the sole purpose of being slaves to a pampered and entitled caste that already has every advantage in life. The feminists will never be able to sell men poverty and 3rd class citizenship if those horrible Red Pillers and MGTOWS keep offering them a better life than the eternal misery that feminism promises them.
