97 pages down and I'm still none the wiser about why anyone gives a toss about Andrew Tate.

Taking ALL his claims at face value, simply as a point of reference:

He's better at chess than the average random dude. Ok, well done.

He used to be (still is?) a very high-level kickboxer. Ok, that's an achievement. Fair enough.

He's wealthy to a hotly-debated extent. Ok, that matters to / impresses some people.

He lives in Romania. So what?

He has a silly accent. Doesn't matter at all.

Literally the ONLY thing I've seen mentioned about him in this thread that has caused any response in me OTHER than a shrug is the news that he's currently under investigation for some kind of alleged people trafficking activity. That's a criminal activity and if it's proved then he'll be a convicted people-trafficker.

So in summary, he's of literally no interest. If he's been up to no good then I hope he's punished, but otherwise he's just another person. More money than the average, but just not remotely noteworthy.

I know two people who are definitely more wealthy than him, and they would be of no interest to anyone on this forum either because they are just normal people who happen to run two successful businesses. One's a residential property developer from Norfolk, the other is a commercial property landlord in Essex. The only things they do differently to Mr. Tate is they don't pick fights on twitter with Scandinavian teenagers, they don't post videos of their own theories about gender and politics on the internet and they've never been arrested on suspicion of people trafficking. I'd add their Twitter handles so you can follow them, but neither of them ever post anything.

@emir fancies him.

Is there any way to get rid of them though?
I get that they can be cancelled pronto and the ruination of their lives and livelihoods is to be applauded but surely there is a quicker way to solve it.
[Poor language removed]-footing around such toxicity is no way to deal with such a major problem that is destroying the world.

Who wants to "get rid of them" though?

My main wish is that people like him who possess millions and billions wouldn't use the social and mainstream media firms they own to tell us that the system is rigged against us. Saying they know how to beat the system is also profoundly annoying, given that they are the system.
 
Probably already been mentioned but he was on a reality TV show called Ultimate Traveller. I watched it when it came out (12 years ago). I can't really remember much other than he seemed like a tw@ on it.

Indeed, as you and others have pointed out, no one gives a toss about this guy. However, @emir is having a hard time accepting that all the money he sent to Tate's "Hustler University" isn't paying off and it's a tough pill to swallow when you are trying to have six children as a means to increase your status amongst a bunch of other men at some random Baptist church in Missouri.

Why on Earth would anyone want to have six children? How does having six children "increase your status"?

This thread is a rollercoaster of utter mystery.

No idea, but that's what he claims (also here). That and the whole fertility rates in the west are low (which is generally a white nationalist dogwhistle that too many of the "wrong" people are having kids and immigrating to western countries, while the "civilized" westerners are not).

It's called hate-watching.

He is divisive. Many love him, many hate him. On this forum, most hate him. Sharing that hatred is enjoyable and pleasurable.

Mad to think that a generation ago Mr. Tate would be leaning up against a bar in a nightclub in Derby three nights a week boring the [Poor language removed] out of any 19-year old lass who wasn't quick enough to swerve him, and that would be the extent of his "influence".

The internet has given an un-moderated voice to all, regardless of talent.
