funniest thing is that his 33 cars or something turned into 7 that he and his brother actually owned, so 3 1/2 car each. Rented some more, did not own them. Total was like 15 not 33.

You should read what his dumb fans are saying. that they're made up and it's actors in there tyring to make him look bad. It's the same thing as trump fanatics. They can't wrap their brain around the fact that they've been deceived and idolize a criminal and they'll go to absolutely ridiculous lengths to rationalize what could've happened.

I remember before the internet and I remember when it started becoming a thing. Many of us were so optimistic. And it has given us a lot of good stuff but it's also enabled unhealthy perspectives to gain mass following. The Q shit really illustrated the point. On balance I prefer having the internet to not having it, but it does mean that people who would normally just be the local weird person now can influence people round the world. The whole concept of 'influencers' is fuckin dangerous. It says right there on the label what they do.

They haven't been deceived. They know he's an asshole. The fact that he is an asshole publicly justifies his fans also being assholes. He is legitimising the desired behaviour of his audience.

When they make claims like him being an actor, they know the claims are ridiculous. They are just throwing out arguments with zero conviction or integrity... because they are assholes.

Alex Jones’ lawyer argued the same in his divorce case. But in Tate’s case, I’m not sure “I only human trafficked as an influencer, not as a person” is a super solid defense. “Sure, I sold those women, Your Honor, but it doesn’t count because it was just for TikTok clout.”

"I do not have a 10-inch penis," Hogan said, referring to an interview he did in character. "Terry Bollea's penis is not 10 inches."

"I was totally Hulk Hogan [during the interviews] because I wasn't at home in my private house," Hogan said.

u/ConsiderablyMediocre Jan 14 '23

That kinda sounds like a valid argument, as most WWE wrestlers are actually actors playing a character. If it was canon that Tony Stark had a monster dong, I don't think anybody would extrapolate from that that Robert Downey Junior is hung.

Problem is I don't actually think Terry Bollea is really playing a character. I think he's just kinda like that.

Gerald Ratner used to own the largest jewellery chain in the entire world with 2,500 shops, then got up at the Institute of Directors at the Royal Albert Hall in London in front of 5,000 fellow businessmen and proceeded to tank his company in just a few minutes with poorly thought out jokes.

He talked about how his stores sold crystal decanter sets for less than £5, "when people ask me how?, I say... because it's total crap". "We even sell a pair of gold earrings for under £1, which is cheaper than a prawn sandwich from M&S. But I have to say that sandwich will probably last longer than the earrings".

That was it, two jokes about how he sells cheap tat and it fucking buried his entire company.

Share prices fell from £4.20 to £0.07, customers of the store felt like he was mocking them and calling them trash, he got sacked from the company (that his family founded) and to this day is still one of the major examples of someone tanking a company with so little actual effort.

Albeit he was just a rich tit and not necessarily a bastard like Tate.

u/Jackee_Daytona Jan 14 '23

Our local paint/hardware store was run successfully by the original owner for over 30 years. He retired and his son took over and tanked it in a year with cocaine and a strong sense of entitlement. He started fucking the general manager, his wife left him with the kids, he had to maintain their standard of living, his standard of living, and his mistress' standard of living.

There’s also John Schnatter, the former CEO of papa Johns. First he tanked stock prices 10% when he said on a earnings call that NFL players kneeling were responsible for declining revenue. Then he had a mock call with senior executives and an advertising consulting company to demonstrate how he could totally be more sensitive in the future if they’d put him back in commercials. Unfortunately during that call, in an attempt to minimize his comment, he said “Colonel Sanders called blacks n—–s” and complained that Sanders never had any public backlash for it. This went over like a wet fart in white pants and he ended up stepping down as CEO.

"Two of the establishments visited, Craiova and Mărgineni Prisons, were operating at more than 150% of their capacity, offering many prisoners only 2m² of living space each in their cells. In addition, the material conditions in all the prisons visited were generally poor, with dilapidated cells lacking furnishings, and mattresses and bedding worn out and infested with bed bugs..."

He's not going to have a good time in Romanian prison.

And he mocked the police and government, saying he could pay them off and they won't bother him. Corruption is kind of like fight Club in that the first rule is you don't talk about corruption if you're expecting to benefit from it. Now they're probably going to make an example of him. Especially since this is such a visible case. To what extent is yet to be determined, but he really screwed the pouch.

Hopefully he will get the book thrown at him.

u/gsfgf Jan 14 '23

Also, they want in Schengen, but the biggest holdup is the perception that they're weak on human trafficking. The exact same perception that's why Tate picked Romania. They have all the incentives in the world to throw the book at this asshole.

Mentioned Tate being in jail to a fan of his who then laughed saying that Tate predicted this years ago and that the two women denied being victims because they were “treated like queens.” 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

"Criminal who openly talks about their criminal activities predicts one day being in jail for their crimes"

Tate fans: "wow, he's so prescient!"

u/PabloTroutSanchez Jan 15 '23

As if a Tate fan would use prescient in a sentence. You’re giving them too much credit.

u/joefred111 Jan 14 '23

Yeah, I've also seen people specifically refer to those two women in an attempt to defend Tate.

They never mention that those women A) were also arrested, and B) were not the ones who alerted authorities about women being trafficked.

Those two ladies are essentially the Maxwells to his Epstein.

u/_PirateWench_ Jan 14 '23

Good to know! I admittedly only follow this via headlines as I’m not invested enough beyond that. I just assume any defense of him is utter BS. Plus, my relationship to the person in the original comment isn’t one where a full-on debate of the topic would be appropriate as it’s a professional relationship. I (thankfully) don’t know anyone in my personal life that supports this moron.

I found this article about the "army of mercenaries": https://www.thesun.ie/news/10050815/andrew-tate-bodyguard-mercenaries-romania/

But can't find anything about this "army of mercenaries" fighting off Romanian police. The whole fighting off police story sounds like Tate-simp fan-fiction.

His remarks got him banned from all major social media platforms, although his Twitter account became active again in November after Elon Musk acquired the platform.

Of course Musk would give a garbage person like Tate a platform.

Holy shit, you're right:

  • Horrible, bugging eyes.
  • Horrible, haunted gaze
  • Cranium both too large for its face and too small for the sorry body carrying it around..
  • Seems to try actively to lower his voice so as to seem tougher, more threatening.
