I’m sorry to tell you this, but Andrew Tate’s leaked video certifies him as an abusive freak

Shocking news: Andrew Tate is not only the internet’s biggest misogynist, he’s also a textbook ab. Yep, I’m just as shocked as you are! 

you “must bare some responsibility” for being in that position. 

This ultra-secretive group is home to videos where Tate gives his subcribers advice on how to manipulate, exploit, and ultimately abuse women. The Daily Dot recently reported that hackers leaked clips from one War Room video as part of an organized hacking effort on the influencer and, while the content is roughly what I’d expect from Tate, the advice given is no less abhorrent.  

Speaking alongside Stirling Cooper, “the world’s number one sex coach for men” (self-proclaimed), and fellow Manosphere influencer Justin Waller, Tate advises men to keep their girlfriends away from their friends, ostensibly so she doesn’t realize her boyfriend is a total freak. “People will call it manipulation,” he says, while describing a textbook example of manipulation. “They’ll talk about your business, they’ll give their side of the story only. You’re a bad guy now.” 

In other clips, he continues to encourage his followers to use common abuse tactics like cutting off women from their networks and not allowing them to work normal jobs. “If she has a normal job, she’s got a social circle, she’s got a network. She’s having a bunch of conversations you don’t know about,” Tate rambles, somehow demonizing friendships. “She has concerns which aren’t involving you. Her brain power is dedicated to things that have nothing to do with you.” Women working instead of thinking nonstop about mediocre men? Yegads! 

Aside from expounding domestic abuse as dating advice, of Tate’s War Room have been investigated for grooming women to perform sex work, the He famously moved to Romania in order to escape what he called “Western legal systems” in favor of “somewhere with common-sense rules,” only to be indicted on charges including human trafficking and forming an organized crime group to sexually exploit women. Common-sense rules, indeed.

Tate’s whole worldview and shtick is not only harmful and regressive, it’s embarrassing. Like, who criticized Kamala Harris while raiding her wardrobe, after all. Self awareness is clearly beyond his capabilities, and so too is his ability to evade rightful investigation.
