    Pedophiles and abusers. Conservatives have been investing a lot of money so that pedophiles and abusers are the role models of young men as part of their manufactured culture war. When Javier Milei took power in argentina he already had a network of influencers behind him spewing the values of his presidency: anti LGBT sentiment, scorn for women and feminism, racist rethoric and the openly abusive machinations of free market capitalism. The ideology came first. The looting of argentina followed.

    This has been going on for a while in the US and it has the potential to get way worse. Because this is the official discourse now, and children and young men are taking the examples of these adults and reproducing them in equally disfunctional lives.

    Why are we surprised that things are going to shit? People say we are living in the ideocracy, but i think the state if things is way worse. They want to create a society of savages and march us down to self destruct along with their failing system.

      Right wing politics in general tends to go hand in hand with misogyny, sexism, and generally treating people as things. Whenever you talk to them they always say it’s a few bad apples, but it seems to be like a third of the barrel.

      Of course it’s even worse with the GOP because they are now actively misogynistic rather than just trying to hide it beneath the surface which is what the right of done in the past. To various levels of success.

    Oh look — another Conservative pedophile.

    I’m no genius, but I’m sensing a pattern here.

      Well Tate isn’t the best president in the Universe! They all say so. Some say even better. It used to be the best president in the Universe, it’s probably up to multiverse now. Some say it’s multiverse. They came up to me and they say, Mr. Best President in the Universe, how do you do it? I say I don’t know, I don’t know. That’s what they say.

      They’re being charged in the UK. All Trump can do is refuse to extradite; but that just means they’re bared from the UK and anywhere else that has an extradition treaty with the UK.

        I’d be very surprised to learn that the US doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the UK. Given present circumstances, not sure if matters.

          The US does have an extradition treaty with the UK but they also refuse to adhere to it. Remember that lady that ran a kid over in the UK and then escaped to the US? They refused to send her over to stand trial for her crimes.

      The other day there was a post where he was shaming Epstein associates and then here he is doing Epstein shit. Andrew Tate deserves no sympathy or mercy.

    He’s the kind of guy you just wonder when he’ll get sent up on some kind of sex offender charge, not if.

      I mean he was already arrested for exactly that in Romania and somehow was allowed to leave the country to flee to the US.

      My confidence in such things has taken a real beating over the last few years. I’m relieved to see him charged.

        Same. About goddamn time. Now let’s do the rest of them. R or D, I don’t care. You diddle kids, go straight to prison.
