    With role models like this, This guy is a small life crisis away from “can you spare a crumb of pussy” to “does this rag smell like ether”

      Sneako and his “I’m a little teapot” lookin ass with those goofy ass ears. Holding a dickhead like him or the Tates up as some sort of goal to strive towards is synonymous with “rock bottom.”

      I get it - like I understand the mechanism behind why some younger dudes become infatuated with these figures. It’s the same reason boomer housewives get into the Law of Attraction or why people who don’t have a single fucking clue think Trump is going to fix everything if he could just get one more term in office… but I don’t get it.

        for real, have you seen the chin (or lack thereof) on tate? lmfao. might be hard to spot of course because he tries to hide it very desperately with his little prepubescent goblin beard

    Yes, the hostile ridicule we offer them is far superior to the hostile brainwashing these goons offer them.

    The answer? More hostile ridicule!

    The only response to loneliness must be hostility!

      If you don’t know that you’re ridiculous, you might never not be ridiculous. You might never know that the premises of your beliefs are absurd nonsense.

      So yes. More ridicule.

          Why does it always have to be on the rest of society to take the highest road, offer all of the grace of community to those who actively participate, encourage and promote the destruction of our society?

          Ever notice that they immediately have to take the role of the victim and expect to be treated in a polite manner, then get mad when society doesn’t respond the way they want? Fucking exhausting.

            I’m glad you admit that you will not take the high road, and that you have no empathy or compassion. You are a sociopath and you enjoy making vulnerable people suffer.

            You would get along well with Tate.

          If you don’t think Andrew Tate type people deserve more ridicule, you might just be a piece of shit running cover for pieces of shit.

          Why do you defend completely trash people?

            Andrew Tate is absolute trash. He’s also not one of the lonely people he’s targeting.

            I’m not defending Tate or Peterson. I’m defending the lonely men who fall prey to his bullshit because everybody else just ridicules lonely people for being desperate enough to reach out to the only people offering anything to them at all.

              So the secret to deprogramming a rapist’s online cult members is just to have really good intentions. Got it.

              I think I’m just going to continue ridiculing Tate. If that hurts his believers’ feelings and they feel a bit ridiculous, well, I guess I’ll have to live with myself.

                1. Yes, the secret to deprogramming a rapist’s cult is definitely 100% to have good intentions for those lonely men who fall prey to the cult.

                2. Yes, keep ridiculing Tate because he is ridiculous and hostile. But if you are generally ridiculing lonely people for their desperation and their failure to find a good response to their misery… then you are exactly the same as Tate.

                  You know a ton of Tate’s followers are children, right? There are a fuckload of societal issues beyond just “loneliness” in play here.

                Finally, somebody offered something other than than ridicule. Yes, this is an actual response.

                Personally I don’t think therapy will make men less lonely, but it might provide them with better coping mechanisms and a response to that loneliness.

            I’m not talking about the psychotic self-help grifters. I’m talking about the lonely young men they prey on. That’s also who the meme is ridiculing.

              if you are dumb enough to be bigoted out of ‘loneliness’ then I don’t think I care too much. being an asshole and being sexist and transphobic are not the same.

                  I’m fully aware of the depths depression and other mental illnesses can take someone to. I understand hating people because your life sucks, I won’t understand people that resort to demeaning those already beneath them (in a socioeconomic sense, that is.)

        I’m not being preemptive. I’m responding to general ridicule of lonely people who are falling prey to grifters.

        Your comment is honestly incoherent. Maybe you can refine it.

      It’s hard to be nice to people who think being nice is the same as offering free breeding.
