Current Affairs The Andrew Tate thread

[ilikecheese]

Few years ago I was sat next to two Bristolians arguing in a pub, although I didn't know who they were arguing about.

Then one of the fellas turns to me and says 'ere mate, you like that Pol Pot?'
I says....'erm... no'
He says 'why don't you like that Pol Pot???'
I says... 'well.... cos he was a mass murdering psychopath'
He says 'Pol Pot????'
I says 'yeah'
He says, 'Pol Pot never killed anyone!!!'
Now I'm doubting meself a bit....
I says 'well maybe he didn't actually pull the trigger, but he oversaw the deaths of like tens of thousands of his own people'
He says 'Pol Pot????'

Then someone else at the bar says to me 'I think he's talking about Paul Potts'
I says 'Ah... who the fk is Paul Potts?'
He says, 'he's a singer on that X Factor I think'

Then the fella goes 'who was you talking about'
I says 'I'm talking about Pol Pot'
He says 'who the fk is Pol Pot???'
I says 'he was a Cambodian dictator'
He says 'ah right.... nah different fella'

Same planet, different worlds. Kind of a beautiful moment really.

Off topic but NEA.

Incredible.

I noticed this Andrew Tate come up on my Twitter feed yesterday for the first time. I've looked back on this thread to find out more about him and noticed you said he was extremely popular. I'd never heard of him until yesterday so i'm another one in here who can't share your view he is the most popular person on the planet at this moment in time and "everyone" online knows who he is. I spend a lot of time each day using the internet and a fair bit on social media etc and have never heard of him.

As for the bit in bold, i've now watched a few videos and it actually struck me how inarticulate he is! I've seen a few of his type before and they seem to have a lot more charisma and intelligence than Tate, but have a similarity in spouting utter nonsense and being lauded for it.

I can imagine he actually believes a lot of it too, but he is not to be taken seriously and his views are mostly abhorrent. If you want to buy in to his "popularity" then that's up to you but I reckon if you asked 100 people in the street who he was, barely any would know who he was except for in places like the USA and Canada, and even then it'd probably only be those of a certain age group.

Your Internet must be broken.

He's the most Googled man on the planet. Even more so that Kim Kardashian (according to 'Bro' Emir) and she isn't even a man, so that's impressive!

What were the videos of him that you came across? What was he saying?

Emir, you live in the states. Why are you looking at the analytics for the UK?

Ah, look at that. A bigger arse popularity competition, of sorts.

That's as valuable as every other 'fact' you have embarrassed yourself with other the past year or so.

You sir, are an idiot. (and you completely missed the point. Again.)

I've explained my story in my past. You can go through my post history and see.

It's the same story in USA as well.

In fact, you could Google any footballer or celebrity in the UK and they would be lower than Andrew Tate on average past 30 days. The only person that competes with Andrew Tate is Ronaldo but Ronaldo's figures are on average a lot lower than Tate's in the past week. You could even compare Tate to Boris Johnson or the Queen, for that matter.

You clearly can't accept some facts as they get you triggered.
