There no way Andrew Tate is cool at a party.
Kids in my daughters class did a project about 'an issue that is important to you'. They could pick anything.
Most of the kids talked about interesting and positive fields like environmental protection/space exploitation or some sport they love to participate in. Three of the boys chose to talk about 'men's rights', and according to the teacher who I spoke to about it afterwards they were echoing Andrew Tate shit.
They were 10 years old at the time.
None of their parents are divorced either, so theres no 'woe story' from dad in the background to put any framing around this.
However, their parents are all conservative and all let their kids access Youtube with no oversight. So social media and lax/indifferent parenting are very much grooming the next generation into hateful misogynists like Tate.
Someone watches his shit.
Just because the youtube algorithm promotes outrage doesn't make it right.
Obviously... but kids aren't going to stop watching because of some tut tuts and wags of the finger. That just makes them like it more.
No only in a podcast of his environment with slave girls that are punished if they don't agree
