every time i start to feel cringe for being too deep in the hyperfixation i remember the intense depression i have waded through and have to remind myself that enjoyment is fleeting (so grab it with both hands), and life is for loving (so hold that love close), and if anyone thinks i鈥檓 cringe they must not be having a very good time (and i hope they can find a good time soon).
The Andrew Tate stuff has always been so wild bc the thing people want to talk about most with him is his whole misogynist anti-feminist schtick when that's the least interesting part of him. Like, ok he does the whole "online misogynist for money" thing, that's been around for a while now and if he disappeared tomorrow a dozen other dudes would replace him in that ecosystem.
What is actually unique is that this dude is a full on human trafficker. Like for real. And that is some serious shit! That's what all these conservatives pretend to care about, trafficking! That's what Glenn Greenwald and all these formerly twitter lefty ppl who demand Andrew Tate be brought back to twitter meme about constantly with their stupid fucking podcasts about Epstein and co. Yet somehow the conversation still isn't "hey this man is a literal sex trafficker" its "is misogyny man rly that bad for being misogynist?" Like bro I do not care about the misogyny there's women in his basement.
