You made me check "sealioning" in the urban dictionary. Didn't think thats a real term.
Sealioning after a single question

Don’t bother, Tony who is proud of his “Christian” values, isn’t happy enough at the mountain of evidence provided by Andrew Tate himself.

He instead finds it necessary to ask for proof from someone who had a bad experience with one of his followers so he can get “both sides of the story”. Even if I had told that man on Reddit that his children were ugly, I didn’t deserve such a monstrous attack.
You know Susie, it's this kind of reaction that part of the reason we have people like Andrew Tate. The recent trend that verifiable truth is cast out in place of the Meghan Markleism of "my truth". You say it's true and you feel it happened, so it did. Evidence be damned!

You do know that this is what Christian enlightenment figures put an end to in favour of objective truth?

And somehow we manage to always go back to "his success among youngsters happens because...feminism/wokism" - no, it happens because of his aggressive marketing and targeting strategies and because social media platforms hesitated to ban him much sooner. It also happens because the justice system has let him loose before and now he has a "God complex". He thinks he can get away with everything. Freaking Andrew Tate.
Well that is certainly one reason why he is more succesfull than any of the 0815 incels on reddit.

Another factor, which imho is brushed aside far to often, is that moderate young people get confronted with some really questionable statements from (extreme) activists (online or not) and get labelled if they question or oppose the statement.
There aren't that well known moderate influencers which they could turn to so they turn towards the extreme.

Seriously having to bite my tongue from not using banned words, but you are doing a good job yourself of showing what a silly and small man you are. You profess to having children, if you have a daughter and she shares being sexually and cruelly bullied online and your only response is to ask for proof, she will think the same of you.

My Reddit profile is a private profile and it is none of your and anybody else’s goddamned business. My I assure you true story is simply a story to share and nobody is being publicly called out by name or accused of anything.

And of course you bring Markle into this, how very Jeremy Clarkson of you. Luckily men like you and him are going the way of the dinosaur.

Maybe Tate will use that kind of defence in his rape and trafficking trial? The woman clearly has delusions of "Markleism" (WTF is that anyway??) and has "her truth" about being raped. Evidence be damned!

Exactly, like being accused of "woke-ism". If they would confront a questionable language/narrative used to describe women they'd be labeled as "woke", "feminists"..well, a stream of invective. And vice-versa, questioning some things about gender, pronouns, gender roles etc. They would be labeled as homophobic or sexist. I can agree with you up to a certain point.

He has used it when he was investigated for rape and other things in 2015 and apparently it worked out pretty well....for him.

He has a long history of gaslighting and manipulating ex-"girlfriends".

Btw, this is his at least third arrest. He was arrested in 2015, in April 2022 and December 2022. (as far as I know, could be more arrests/investigations)

Okosmbaer has made some interesting contributions
Andrew Tate : Romania is a poor country

What a cocky disgracefull lad


So during an interview, he was saying Romania is a poor country and mocked the poorly funded Romanian police driving crappy cars.

https://rumble.com/embed/v24p5ui


He's lucky he moved to a rather peacefull city. In many places u ll be killed by saying less than that.


He should try Colombia, Mexico....

Been there, seen that
