I have mixed views about Andrew Tate. He is definitely an ‘in your face’ guy who is not for everyone. What I do believe is that with his outspoken views on just about everything, he is a danger to the establishment and they want to take him down. Hence his ongoing imprisonment in Romania without charge.

Men being feminised, the left ideology, trans, drag queen story time for kids and much more has opened up a place for an alternative like Andrew Tate. On a positive he is telling young guys the importance of being fit, healthy, strong in body and soul. Andrew Tate promotes the idea of hard work and being the best you can possibly be. Yes, he flaunts his wealth but I don’t have a problem with that.

An Excellent, articulate and perceptive piece as always 👏🏼 Agree with it all. I’m surprised how many so-called ‘truthers’ have been taken in with the Tate persona. Can’t bear the man or what he stands for. The world would be an even worse place if young men started basing their futures around his warped ideas about success and happiness.

Well as we’ve said before, many have been taken in by Musk too.

A lot of gullible people out there, sadly.

I never liked him. He seemed to appear from nowhere and just comes across so arrogant and sure of himself. Definitely controlled opposition!

Hilarious piece. Loved the Top Cat (Boss Cat) references. I first became aware of AT when James Delingpole interviewed him about a year ago. I thought he sounded somewhat shallow but was not conned by covid, so I believed that any enemy of my enemy was a friend. But it’s all gotten far more nuanced than that, hasn’t it? He’s being used whether he knows and accepts it or not and, yes, we’re being steadily divided into arguing with each other as per.

The Top Cat/Boss Cat thing. I am a sad enough anorak to know the story behind the reason why it was called Boss Cat but they always called him Top Cat. (There are some bloody slow days sometimes and Google calls😂)

His conversion to Islam interests me (Tate not Top Cat - I’m sure TC had no religious leanings😂)

What’s all that’s about? Genuine? How does it sit with his unholy pursuits?

Is he hoping to reach disaffected Muslim men or something else?

Andrew Tate’s conversion to Islam I find strange. As a Christian I find it a little worrying that someone like Tate, who has much influence, is seen as a follower of Islam.

Yes, I’m not religious although I do believe in *something*, something more than the physical world.

I don’t know how much Islam forms a part of Tate’s offering and online persona. There are those people who make it the ‘main event’ of their ramblings/‘teachings’ and those who don’t.

Islam is definitely not the ‘main event’ with Andrew Tate, he rarely mentions it tbf. Tate’s huge following is mainly military aged guys, that is why the establishment is so concerned, they fear an uprising.

Unaware of this fella. Sounds like that’s probably a good thing. I’ll keep it that way I reckon.

Really? That’s interesting. To be fair a few months ago, so was I.

He is one of the ones who (supposedly controversially) had their Twitter account restored when Musk took over.

Yeah, he’s a pied piper, distractor, but as with musk many of the ‘conspiracy kids’ have fallen for him.

On posting this, on here and Facebook, I’m surprised how many people are saying they haven’t heard of him actually. Perhaps I have unwittingly helped to promote him😂😂
