Andrew Tate's Terrible Book | BEHIND THE BASTARDS

[@clairenollet2389]

Wow. Andrew's advice: Get a criminal record, a bad credit rating, be a shoplifter, and drive a car you can't afford. If only I'd had access to these pearls of wisdom 45 years ago.

Yeah I had this happen at work the other day. Was having an interesting conversation and someone not contributing just bursts in with "WHY THE FUCK ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THIS?". Some people just catch an anxiety attack when they have to chill and listen for a second.

Shireen's reaction to the "Tate's Prayer" made me spit up all over my work computer. You know how boys who are like 12-13 have this phase where they think samurai and katanas are basically magical ("the metal is folded 20 times! That makes them so sharp they can cut a falling feather!!!"), and ninjas are ultra-elite warriors in black pajamas? And there'd be really intense discussions of who'd win a fight, a ninja or some other historical warrior, like a Roman legionary or a Finnish sniper? Yeah... Tate's whole shtick feels like a cross between that and Fight Club.

[@christophereichten9005]

So learning about the Winter War is akin to Andrew Tate?

[@Hk121394]

You describe Deadliest Warrior on Spike lol

[@jaycie5021]

Listening to this one quick thing. The reason why Tate doesn't charge 10k is the same reason all grifters don't change 10k At 10k the authorities are informed of the transaction. Purposely engineering payments to avoid reporting is called structuring and is part of money laundering. One suspects that's part of Tates deal.

Just to note: if a monk waxes mysticism with you, he's trolling you. They're just regular dudes, with the shaolin ones being regular dues who really like martial arts. The whole mysticism and waxing poetics just sells well to foreigners.

[@Bustermachine]

The thing that is scary about these guys is that they all legitimately diagnose a problem that young men and boys are facing . . . And then think to themselves, 'how can I exploit that?' There is a real pandemic of loneliness and frustration among young men. And it comes from a tangible place. But people like Tate are grifters make it worse.

[@johnl5350]

I like to live on the edge, like a real man. If there's one thing I like in a dinner ingredient delivery service, it's the possibility that it might, while not presently being a death cult, some day become a death cult. What is a healthy, home-cooked meal without the non-zero chance of future, self-induced oblivion in service of some grand alien power? Blue apron. The choice for all of us.

[@origami_dream]

Honestly, *i* couldn't defeat a ghost in hand-to-hand combat. That's impressive. Getting ghost touch on your attacks isn't super low-level stuff. Depending on what system, that's like level 4 stuff. So gotta give it up to Tate there.

44:40 The funniest part of listening to that part as the owner of a classic car is every single time I've driven it somewhere someone random person has talked to me about it completely out of the blue. I dont go to the places Tate does, and having any kinda relationship between me and them is not at all a part of it, but only in terms of getting people's attention I think it's absolutely hilarious that my sub $10k 50+ year old Buick probably gets more attention from just random strangers than a $100,000+ supercar

"The Tate's Prayer" had me slack-jawed in awe of how much cringe could be condensed into one brief passage.

[@steelersguy74]

Sophie was especially animated in this episode.

[@mookinbabysealfurmittens]

She was on as a guest, rather than as her usual producer positio - or at least Robert introduced her that way. Maybe that was his indication that he was intending for her to be more involved in the convo as she had been in the previous Andrew T. videos? Idk, just reckoning.

[@joshv.1490]

It's why you see guys on the other teams praying or coming to check on a downed player and such. He needs his audience to embrace that kind of mislead insecure nonsense, because if they were well adjusted guys who were comfortable in their own skin they'd be completely inoculated to his grift. I also believe Tate is not just one of these grifters, but is just as insecure and drawn into that toxic mindset because of how he conducts himself. He's not just the president, he's also a member.

[@chekz3520]

@Josh V. his whole ideology is 100% based on insecurity. Anyone who has to tell you how masculine they are all the time is more than likely suppressing parts of their personality they think are unacceptable. Tate just needs to drop like 300 mics of LSD and that would probably help him I'm not even joking.

[@porqupyne1493]

"the largest, strongest, most beautiful tree violently crushing the surrounding saplings in a quest for resource" this sentence stuck way out to me the second i heard it read. a lot of manosphere macho types make stupid appeal to nature arguments like this, but it always hits harder when they don't even get the nature right. because *that isn't how trees work, andrew.* trees in forests connect their roots into huge networks, and the larger trees with all the sunlight and water will actively pass down nutrients to younger, smaller trees who need it more than they do. they all cooperate and share over vast, sprawling interconnected systems. they're pretty kind to each other, actually. but andrew and his lame machismo bullshit worldview could never imagine something so powerful establishing itself through cooperation rather than violence

[@porqupyne1493]

ah, i paused to make this comment and rob's just actually gotten to tearing this apart himself. they brushed past it in the moment. glad they didn't let this shit slide

[@TheNwr1]

And, just on a base level, the idea that men ‘need to be more like the trees and crush the children’ is looney tunes level bullshit lol

[@porqupyne1493]

@@TheNwr1 it really is impressive how little sense it makes on every possible level. and the weird veneer of orientalism that gets sprinkled on with all the 'monk wisdom' framing makes it make even less sense

[@_mycotroph]

Funny that tate makes the analogy of the oak tree, when there is evidence of old growth trees actually creating a nursery environment for its saplings; shading them from the most intense sun and allowing them to grow and be healthy enough to replace them when they fall. They even support them via fungal mycelial networks that aid in the transition of nutrients and depositing excess carbon into the soil. It's an incredibly synergistic system, save for the parasites that prey on these systems. Aka, Andrew tate. Almost poetic in its irony

[@elenafriese891]

So uh. Weird thought about obscure media, but so much of this stuff has me thinking about Akio Otori from Revolutionary Girl Utena. Thoughts aren't together but the whole thing about how an expensive car will only impress little kids (which are my main prey but I won't say that out loud) is just.... Holy shit they're going from exactly the same script.

[@Hudson316]

I'm partway through so if it comes up toward the end I'll look silly but I haven't seen it brought up and it's in relation to the first book... But there's an incredibly sad thing about that whole Wudan story, that I saw on another channel (Thoughtslime I think) during an early video on Tate before he really started getting talked about a lot, but the Wudan thing has a comic version ('graphic novel' I think he tries to call it, but it's short form so it's a damn comic) and the Master character that the Wudan stuff deifies as being the perfect sensei is drawn as a buff version of Tate's father.

They've talked about how they don't like calling girls/women "females" multiple times, but I think it's sexy and my wife does too, and I'm leftist as shit. I don't get it.

[@porqupyne1493]

it's about intent, really. if you're calling your wife that because its something you both enjoy that's one thing, and i'm glad you guys are having fun. but when a guy online refers to all women categorically as 'females' it is nearly always a virulent hiss of disdain for women as a whole. that sort of language is a staple of incel/MGTOW culture, and it's explicitly meant to be dehumanizing there. (some even go a bit further and say 'femoid', which is *so* dehumanizing it's cartoonish.) when you trawl the internet enough, that's most of how you're going to see those words used - especially when you do research on scumbags for a living. so i think it's pretty fair that they're soured on that use of the word in general.

It's because he's a pedophile. That's why. Sorry you missed it.

[@JohnDoe-kx6zt]

Andrew Tate is a grifter. He understands that there is a lot of pain and loneliness out there, and he capitalizes on that. He convinces you that life is a war and has you act like an unhinged thug to isolate you from society so he can get his hooks in deeper, and the few bits of good advice he provides, like working out, improving yourself, and treating yourself like you're worth a damn, are just breadcrumbs to make you feel like you're getting something out of his stupid macho chest-thumping. You can take care of yourself without listening to a human-trafficking pedophile. Unlike him, you have an honest desire to get better. Keep going to the gym. Talk to people. Read books. Exist in a society. Things will get better--but only if you detach yourself from this lunacy.
