Oh look — another Conservative pedophile.
I’m no genius, but I’m sensing a pattern here.
And yet he hit himself so well.
It hasn’t escaped my notice that there are alot of pedophiles in the GOP. More than you would expect by chance. I wasn’t the only one to notice: We need to talk about pedocon theory
Right wing politics in general tends to go hand in hand with misogyny, sexism, and generally treating people as things. Whenever you talk to them they always say it’s a few bad apples, but it seems to be like a third of the barrel.
Of course it’s even worse with the GOP because they are now actively misogynistic rather than just trying to hide it beneath the surface which is what the right of done in the past. To various levels of success.

Best friend of Barron.
I guess… Like father like son!
They are prosecuting Tate with less than they have on Mango Mussolini.
Well Tate isn’t the best president in the Universe! They all say so. Some say even better. It used to be the best president in the Universe, it’s probably up to multiverse now. Some say it’s multiverse. They came up to me and they say, Mr. Best President in the Universe, how do you do it? I say I don’t know, I don’t know. That’s what they say.
With every instance like this, it grows both hilarious and tragic that right wing figures of the like will inevitably, at some point, happen themselves upon a bit of CP on their hard drive
By all means of logic no political group, let alone a political direction, should be this consistent with their ability to be pedophiles, but here we are
That’s because right isn’t really a political direction, it’s just a selfish opinion. If society operated the way the right actually want it to operate everything would collapse within about 5 years.
Their entire philosophy relies on their being an out group that they can punch down. It’s either immigrants, or people living on the streets, or ethnic minorities. It’s all about how they can hurt people. Never help them.
So of course they are going to attract the psychopaths.
“Senator, you’re a pedophile.”
“Well, maybe you are all pedophiles, too!”

Scumbags gravitate to radical politics because radicalized people are the biggest marks. Just be famous say a few slogans and you have them willing to defend whatever scummy shit you do.
You know, I haven’t lived a perfect life. I’ve done things that I regret. I’ve broken hearts. I’ve burned bridges. I’ve let people down. These failures don’t define my life, but, like most folks who aren’t complete narcissists or psychopaths, I have my share of regrets. Like most, I’ve had dark moments where I wonder if I’m truly a good person, or if the world would be better off without me. I’m fine now, but life has had its ups and downs.
But moments like these are a useful salve for such feelings. The regrets I have are a big deal in my life, but nothing compared to this. My regrets are thing like when I’ve burned out of a job due to ADHD, let my coworkers pick up the slack, and then quit on short notice when I hit a wall, leaving them holding the bag. Or when I had to break up with someone I had been with for years, in a relationship where mutual feelings still existed, simply because of incompatible life and relationship goals. Or how, despite all we tried, we weren’t able to save my little brother from the opioid epidemic; the fact that I as an older sibling wasn’t able to save my little brother. Or times I’ve let my spouse down. These are the kinds of regrets that eat at my soul. And I’ve never physically hurt anyone, never cheated on a partner. Just ordinary life regrets.
Those are the kinds of regrets I have. Those are the things that when I’m at my worst make me feel like a monster. I know none of those are objectively evil acts. But feelings aren’t rational.
But then I look at someone like Tate. I feel grief and shame for things that aren’t even really my fault. And this man is unrepentant despite a lifetime of committing the most vile acts a human being can commit. Human trafficking. Rape. Child pornography. He unapologetically treated human beings as disposable trash, on a mass scale, and bragged to the world about it. That is a universe of evil that is simply beyond my understanding.
Some say God has a plan or purpose for everyone. I think Andrew Tate’s purpose, if he has any at all, is to be such a human monster, that ordinary people, healthy but flawed human beings, can get a reality check on their own self-doubts and self-hate. If there is any good at all that has come from Tate’s life, it would have to be something like this. This tiniest of silver linings in cloud of pus and shit.
There is no silver lining. This guy’s crimes extend far beyond him through the use of deceptive propaganda. He has influenced millions of young men to be abusive fucks.
If society would use him as an example to expose the manosphere and dismantle it, then perhaps that would be a good thing to come from this. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen.
As a fellow older brother who lost a sibling in a (kinda) similar way (got my own dark memories there), I felt that.
But for me it’s just a sad reminder that that what should be an absolute statement can have an exception.
As in, even saying “I hate humans suffering at all…” requires an “except…” added onto it.
I don’t have the general self blaming issue though.
Except for the brother bit specifically. But I give myself a pretty big break for that (unfortunately due to some of the other problems). Not saying it’s better or worse, just different.
I regret that I have but one upvote to give.
He compared the charges to the legal proceedings against Donald Trump
Oh they’re totally guilty then lmao
walled articles do not belong on social media
Social media doesn’t belong on social media for all I care. I think it’s time to just… Pull the plug and shut all the shit down.
You should post on social media about that
Waaaay ahead of you buddy!
…created by trumps people

So… next Republican candidate for 2028?
He has all the proper qualifications for a MAGA candidate, so sure.
Fuck this evil bastard with a chainsaw.
That’s far too forgiving. A blunt spoon should be used.
I’m not in the slightest surprised
Yup. Totally tracks.
It’s always the person you most suspect.
