For those of you who wish to know more about them or why some of us despise them.

Agree they are despicable apologies of human beings. Why would you want to know anymore about them!

Oh dear - poor white males...no wonder they are reduced to talking about taking a machete to uppity women.

They’re not white though, their father was African American. Andrew Tate (not sure about his brother) has converted to Islam and has a frighteningly diverse supporter base both here and in the US.

No, nightowl -I was referring to undine's post about the popularity of these men with certain misunderstood groups.

I see chocolatelovinggran I hadn’t read the thread properly. Sadly they do appeal to disaffected white males, but also others.

Without making excuses I do agree with much of what undine says. There are real concerns about white males from poor backgrounds and their place in society. They are looking for role models and someone to blame, found it in one. And unfortunately I think men in general find it easy to dislike women, but most keep it to themselves.

I don’t know who they are, or what they stand for- not much by sounds by the sounds of it on here.

But as I've pointed out on the last page, Florida has opened a criminal investigation on them.

Unless its a set up.

I’m finding this all very suspect, Trump lives in Florida, Trump intervenes to bring them to the USA, then Florida press on ahead with charges? Make absolutely no sense at all to me, but then again not much of Trump’s actions make any sense to me 🙄🙄

I read on Facebook that Trump is playing golf with one of them this weekend but don’t know if that is true. What is worrying is that it wouldn’t surprise me if he was.

the guardian article is enlightening but it highlights how many people watch and follow them too sad

Trumpie-baby and Tatey-babies are evil beyond belief with their twisted attitudes rewards females. They should be sent back to the lab test tubes they were created in and destroyed!

Awful as it sounds, I actually agree! Just add Vance and Musk to your list!

The BBC article in the O/P will tell you about the Tate brothers.

The reason I made this post is that I think it is vital us Grans, as well as parents, are made fully aware of the world their DGC now inhabit.

Our lives, in many ways, were so much safer and more simple.

Whilst I love this digital world we now live in, it has a very dark side and I’d rather be aware of it and the dangers.

Of course the Tate bros and their followers are by definition all weak and cowardly men, who htink that boasting about their weakness and cowardice makes them brave.

Why are they weak and cowardly? Because, essentially they are terrified of women and are incapable of to have an equal relationship with us.

They are mice not men.
