Acquitted of all charges btw

Among my favorite Tateisms, “tap water is for poor people,” and “a woman should cook and clean unprompted.” He’s been around forever, he’s only become a buzzword recently.
This reminds me of the time you got offended by people telling you that being a fan of Kobe Bryant for dribbling good wasn't a good reason to ignore rape charges.

a lot of these dudes are also just ****ing mental, but to the degree that there's an overall trend, I think it's a result of shrinking opportunity
Shrinking something, anyway.

banning Alex Jones was also a bad move. I'm fine with financially punishing him for the Sandy Hook **** as retribution to the families but why should I be deprived of watching his content on YouTube? It's all this patronizing attitude that the fragile public must be protected from themselves and that we can't be trusted to decide for ourselves whether or not to follow some Nazi or some PUA type like Tate. I think it should all be allowed for contents sake.

Now as for Tate being a scam artist, he was probably not even banned for that but just for being a viral misogynist. I don't think it was made clear why. He was classified as a dangerous person or something nebulous like that. And I think if his MLM scheme is legal then you can't do **** about that and if people fall for it they deserve the poverty that awaits them.

Tate and Peterson, whatever you think of them, are speaking to the problems of young men who are for the most part ignored by the left. That is largely why they are so successful. Even if you don't like the answers they provide, who is the leftist alternative? Or do you just reject the questions they're trying to answer altogether?

It's like people mock the self help **** yet 90% of it is more useful than anything they could possibly offer themselves as advice.

Yup, hit the nail on the head. This was partly what I was getting at with my initial question. Young men do not get the consideration, attention, and concern that young women do, at least in regards to media coverage or public outreach campaigns (besides military recruitment). Young men face their own problems. The right-wing solutions to these problems are often ridiculous, but there's not really an equivalent counterbalance to it on the left. Until there are sensible alternatives, expect young men to gravitate towards these outlandish characters because at the very least, these guys are speaking to them and their concerns and issues.

I hardly know anything about Tate, but from what I've gathered he's a red-pill type. There's kernels of truth, in some instances, through all that smoke, but if we're being honest, Peterson's tired trope of "cleaning your room" is a better starting point than anything Tate likely prescribes.

Can I be honest? I also think inherently men are going to look up to the idea of having a Haram of 20 bitches and a Bugatti. It's like the pinnacle of success in the society we live in. Or rather having the ability to if you wanted to.
