One of the famous quotes from the 2008 hit movie, The Dark Night, by one of the main characters goes something like this: “Because he is the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now.” The James Gordon character who says that line to his son is trying to tell him that the behavior and methods of Batman might be imperfect, but was right for the circumstances and conditions in Gotham city. In a similar vein, I am going to put forth the controversial idea that Andrew Tate (or the character he plays in public life) is the grifter that contemporary effeminate and dying western societies richly deserve. By now, I am sure that most readers have heard about Andrew Tate. If you have not, here is a very quick summary.
When I was in my teens I first heard "don't hate the player hate the game." As I get older I have a more thorough understanding of what that phrase means.
I don't hate Andrew Tate. I don't care about him either. I do think that he, just like OnlyFans (and its competitor e-girl/e-whoring sites), Donald Trump getting elected President at all, and various other things as you say only become possible and successful because of how far things in general in the USA have deteriorated. This dystopia has allowed space for so many things (particularly undesirable and/or less than ideal ones) to flourish.
This is America. The American Way is the way of Capital. Meaning widespread and probably in many cases preventable suffering must be identified and profited off. Andrew Tate, the creator of OF, and many folks are just doing the rational thing in this incredibly fucked up game. I hate the game, not the actors and players that are playing the game. In a healthy environment they would never have risen to prominence.
What I listed above from Andrew Tate to the myriad of other things fall under the category of symptoms of a disease not the disease itself.
Side Notes
1) I don't hate OF, but I think traditional whoring is a better experience (usually) for the customer. But whatever sorta pleases people I guess.
2) Ya know the common thread in many of your posts is about how many aspects of American life and society (for most people) has pretty much gone to hell and we are living in a dystopia. Obvious, I know.
It made me think of the 1987 song It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) by R.E.M. It serves an appropriate response/comment in song form for some of your posts here and aptly describes so much (too much) of what is going on or more so how I feel about things. American Jesus by Bad Religion can work too and is a pretty good song in general
I pay ZERO attention to Tate, Kevin Samuels and all these other manosphere jackasses. A lot of guys with low self esteem do and they look at them as heroes - mostly guys who have problems with women in the USA and can’t get the “traditional” relationships they feel they are entitled to… let alone get laid.
Well said. I don't trust this Tate guy at all. ✌️

Wait, I just joined Hustlers University, are you saying it’s a scam?
