Seeing some of these people defend Tate is mind boggling.
Plus it's almost irrelevant whether he's a sex trafficker or not. Defending his comments about women being property, that they should be beaten and physically controlled suggests tacit support to sex trafficking anyway. There's very little distinction left to make.
This is why I role my eyes whenever someone says "There's no point in making laws on <insert topic>, since criminals don't obey laws anyway". Yeah, the laws didn't prevent Tate from being a sex trafficker. But you look at all his supporters and you realize just how many people DESPERATELY want to be sex traffickers as well, but don't simply because they're afraid of being caught.
Peace is a lie. There is only passion. Through passion I gain strength. Through strength I gain power.
Through power I gain victory. Through victory my chains are broken. The Force shall set me free.

Most of the support I see for Tate on Twitter is stuff along the lines of "Tate is like a father figure to me, my life was a mess but now I'm going to the gym, working out, and no longer blame myself for everything." The implication usually being they blame women, but oh well.
You don't need Andrew Tate to tell you to go work out. There's tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of guys on the internet who will tell you to work out and hustle your job. You don't need a misogynistic sex trafficker to tell you to hit the gym.

And traitor Michael Flynn is back on Twitter. Elon really just wants Twitter to be host to all the worst people, doesn't he.

Musk fancies himself a military genius on top of everything else now.

Needless to say actual experts are dunking on him. Russia is just inept at using them properly.
Even Darth Putin is having a go at him.

And Richard fucking Garriott, rofl. Doesn't he have a crypto-MMO to beg people to fund, because his millions are too busy being spent on trips to orbit or the bottom of the ocean?
Truly, we're getting some amazing examples of Dunning Krueger and also, "I'm just asking questions!"
God, this is the worst news I've heard in a long time. Why must you do this to me. How the mighty have fallen.
What people need to ultimately realize about crypto: It needs to be desirable above and beyond its potential to make money to actually make money. Bitcoin people wanted to buy drugs online, thus why so many people wanted to buy it.
When it comes to MMO currencies, if that MMO currency becomes desirable enough that it's actually worth IRL money because people are willing to pay IRL money for it, the bots are going to destroy its value. Doesn't matter how bot unfriendly you try to make your game. Bots will win.

It gets better. He already e-begged to fund one game that he abandoned and ignores, and that technically exists despite gross mismanagement. Oh btw the guy running that game (Shroud of the Avatar) is also running the new crypto game Garriott is begging for even more money for.
The grift never fucking ends, and because they did someone successful once they think that everyone really needs to hear their uninformed opinions on everything.
