Andrew Tate: The Misogynist LARP Radicalizing Sad Boys for Dollars
One of Elmo’s first reinstatements has gained millions of new followers
I’ve covered a vast array of cult leaders, grifters, propagandists and hate merchants but Andrew Tate represents an extraordinarily potent and dangerous mix of the worst of them. Admittedly, I also find him unintentionally hilarious. It’s just so fucking ridiculous.
Of course, Elmo let Tate back on Twitter almost as soon as he had the chance. Tate was in the first batch with Incel Whisperer Jordan Peterson and transphobic troll account Babylon Bee.
Andrew Tate is mixed race which makes “Pure bloods only” quite a loaded phrase.
Tate was a kickboxer and a chess player who somehow managed to leverage that bit of fame into a huge cult of weak men — losers who pay millions of dollars to listen to Tate tell them how superior he is to them.
Tate’s current business model is that insecure men pay him $147 to join “The Real World,” then 50 bucks a month after that to get taught how to be more like Tate — a sociopathic, misogynistic asshole. For this amount you don’t get to actually talk to Tate though. You basically get access to his Discord server and some videos of Tate telling you how awesome and manly Tate is.
In a recent article Tate was reported to be making $11 million a month from this “completely Matrix independent platform”:
But if you want to actually talk to Tate, you need to pay him $4,497 to join “The War Room” which is literally just a private Telegram channel of rich Tate stans.
Tate is a character, a LARP (live action role play), not an actual person. For example, he says stuff like “such is the way of Wudan” unironically.
The LARP called Tate is deeply misogynistic, comically macho, and gleefully pro-violence. My goodness, the ALL CAPS are so MANLY amirite? 😂
It’s funny except it’s not. Tate promotes every despicable, traumatic lie he can to brainwash his sad boys into thinking he has secret knowledge of criminals and “pedos” and that Tate is will lead them to a collective bloody conquest.
His fans, although they are supposed to be getting trained to be “alphas” like Tate to make money, seem to get off trying to out-do each other to be as “beta” as possible which Tate loves to advertise.
Last month, Tate converted to Islam and now attacks “the West” as “Satanists,” “evil,” and “pedos.” What could go wrong?
Here’s how Tate thinks of himself. Nearly a quarter of a million sad boys liked it.
Tate had less than a million followers last week, now 2.1M. He’s building a cult of angry, insecure men who really needed a father figure and found a misogynist cult leader instead.
