When I was younger, I looked up to a guy who was a piece of shit like Andrew Tate. I started acting like him and treating people poorly. I lost good friends and relationships. I realized that I was losing them because I was being a piece of shit. So I stopped.
I guess my point is, even if someone is a piece of shit after looking up to Andrew Tate, they’re not hopeless.

Yeah… but I think the question is: if Andrew Tate didn’t exist, how many of those assholes would be balanced well adjusted men. Not many.

You don’t think role models affect how kids develop?

Of course they do, but my point is, how many kids with parents who are good role models are attracted to Tate?
