I will never understand how people can't see how insecure Tate is

This is an indictment of social media. That system rewards people you would kick out of a party.

terrifying how many younger guys i know got into this. when i was a kid young guys got into more wholesome stuff, like world war 2 history.

A middle 30s male picking a fight with a teenage girl, bragging about how his car goes vroom vroom is such a portrait of this human era.

I'm someone, who technically fits the definition of an "incel", but never described myself as such, or associated myself with "incel culture". In my personal experience, the reason why I am alone is my overwhelming lack of social skills. It's a bit of a self-reinforcing cycle: I don't talk to people, because I don't have social skills. I don't have social skills, because I don't talk to people. I understand fully that this is my own doing. No one "owes" me love, care or affection. It hurts a lot, seeing young men in similar position suckered in with the "one secret" technique, that you are just missing this one thing and then you can have everything you want. Andrew Tate doesn't have a lot of skills, but one he certainly has is his ability to sell himself, and to manipulate others. And unfortunately, that's exactly what his target audience desires.

Andrew Tate is a caricature of himself, is the kind of individual that at first you think is a joke character, a persona, a parody, but no, you realize the horror that he is real.

Honestly one of the saddest things I've ever heard is Andrew Tate describing his relationship with his father. Cause he clearly he admires and wants to be like his dad, but based on his own words seems like he was a bad father and husband. Clearly this is a guy who didn't get enough hugs from Dad and he doesn't even recognize it.

The really dangerous thing about Tate is he hits it with many frustrated teens. We had some 15-16-y-o guys at our school who had been acting out his macho BS on their female classmates, name calling, emptying a bin and forcing them to clean it, and so on, it got to the point when one of the girls stopped coming to school. All 4 were huge fans of Tate. I'm saying "were" because they were dealt with exemplarily and kicked out of the school as soon as this came to light, but I seriously doubt they stopped being his fans, more likely to the contrary, they may feel like victims of this "feminized" world.

Andrew Tate was created in a lab by Rockstar Games in order to play a two bit villain in GTA the movie, but he escaped and became a shit for brains cyber pimp who talks shit all day to incels about how much he loves himself. Good call on this video Georg, it had to be said.

Some guy called me a cunt - over the internet, of course - after I said that Andrew Tate’s courses were a poor investment. That is the level of self mastery and rational thought that listening to AT brings, I guess.

I love how he describes his relationship with women exactly as a street pimp and thinks that's a great way to live. *facepalm*

"Yes, you can join Hustler's University if *you're* English isn't very good". Priceless.

I can never stop hearing "Andrew Taint".

It's always disheartening when men insist they know what women want, ignoring women's pleas for more Hiptang.

I learn celebrity gossip against my will... I learn celebrity gossip against my will... I learn celebrity gossip against my will... I learn celebrity gossip against my will... I learn celebrity gossip against my will...

Speaking as a not-quite lost boy, it's always remarkable how consistently my actual lost boy friends are fairly normal people with some need for stability and community.

"Does it work if my English isn't very good?" "Yes, you can join Hustler's University if you're English isn't very good." 😐

This channel needs more love. Repeatedly great videos being posted. Actual information and not ads.

When I heard Tate had been arrested I thought "who is that?". This video is the first comprehensive account of who he is that I've watched. It's SAD that someone so damaged and toxic has gained so much fame and wealth spouting such awful codswallop. Thank you for sharing, George!

I think the worst punishment possible for Tate is to be locked in a small distraction free room, with a large mirror in it. I suspect that Tate in solitude is very, very different than Tate around people. His outward abrasive personality is a self-defense mechanism.

If you looked up sociopath in the dictionary, this guy's face would pop up. Excellent research and video as per usual, greetings from Brooklyn.

The best thing about crooks like Tate is, that they are far stupider than they themselves think. But it's also interesting how many seemingly smart people fell under his drivel.

Hating women associated with not getting one. WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT.

Boy, I need a shower. Georg, I am amazed at your endurance in handling such a vile subject. I was pleasantly surprised you took the time to speak to the scammed men and boys. You are being scammed. To put it bluntly. I hope you reach them; people drowning in their own self-hatred need help to realize they are lying in a knee-deep pond, that they can, after a long road, escape from.

This is completely off topic I know, but... "Andrew Tate and the Lost Boys" it seems a 80's post punk / new wave band name.

He really let his fighting capabilities get to his head, idc what anyone says that is some soft shit right there. He was definitely the narcissistic cringey kid in school who you couldn't make into a friend if you tried.

The incel breakdown was actually really well done. Most people wouldn't even bother honestly taking a deeper look purely because of their boogieman status in politics at the moment. It is very much a chicken and the egg situation, but that doesn't discount that it's also an increasing trend - something in our developing world is turning young men rotten. Probably plenty of things. The thing about Tate is he appears like a winner, he has all these vapid and external measurments of success and for a group of men who've lost hope in anything meaningful and want results, I think that was enough to get their attention. The same way we see bad people succeed doing bad things, we start to care less about how and only about what they receive. We attach what we have to how we are, and think that's the answer. This moral disintergration from long term loneliness. These men want unconditional love and validation, but don't believe it exists, so sex is good enough, and that's where pick-up, and Tate comes in.

Andrew Tate reminds me a lot of Alex Jones: They're both grifters who've created these ridiculous and deliberately controversial personalities for themselves. As is also the case with both, the problem is that lots of people listen to them and take them seriously, which has real-world consequences. Tate and Jones are both awful human beings whose sole contribution to society seems to be creating even more awful human beings.

George is such a hidden gem. Thanks for this mini-documentary.

For some reason I can't help but imagine Anton Chigurh asking Tate, "If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?" Ask any of his fans if they really think anything Tate has done trying to become famous has made him happy. The guy is going to lose a lot of his toys and whatever actual cash he has to lawyer fees. I would bet $100 that he declares bankruptcy within the next 18 to 24 months.

This world really genuinely needs real and clear positive role models for young men. The success through being a predatory behavior is always going to look flashy until they get caught.

I have purposely avoided knowing anything about this dude up till now. Excellent video as always.. and thank you for putting the effort in.

I feel so sorry for you George, I don’t know how you found the strength to sit through his long form interviews. You’re clearly an intelligent man, how did you cope with listening to this absolute thicko for an extended period?? your fortitude in this endeavour is impressive. Kudos.

I'm assuming "Tate University" teaches people how to waste their time with Amazon drop shipping lol.

Man you actually sat and watched the shitebags long winded crap! I tried when I was deprogramming my 13 year old son from his junk. I only could watch it in snippets. Thankfully I got to my son in time. Ive a good relationship with him and thankfully when Dazblack called him out I was able to use his video to show how poisonous AT was.

Protip: if you're going to commit a crime as horrible as human trafficking, don't go on the internet saying inflammatory shit every day. This guy is intelligent enough to bullshit people, but it seems he's no more intelligent than your neighbourhood drug dealer - don't attract attention.

Admittedly, I found Tate appealing, but I didn't know a lot of what you told me. Thank you. It actually does make me want to change for the better and be less cynical about everything. His defenders were saying that his arrest was a conspiracy because of Greta. I believed that. I'm just sad for everyone - the incels, the young women who fall for men like him, just the fact that we can all be divided so easily. It's not the women, or me, it's just manipulation of all of us by evil people who seem to prosper. We could all look in the mirror on this one and learn to love each other again. Sad, just sad. It makes all of humanity look dirty, and most people are actually ok if you give them a chance.

It needs to become basic in schools, from the age of ten, that social media, advertising tactics and cults are discussed. Treatments of case studies, old and current, with the rhetorical techniques used discussed in full. Standard.

6:13 one guy killed his mother, father, and brother after they found out he gave $250,000 of their money to an Eastern European cam model. This kind of parasocial addiction is very real.

One slight positive to come of social media is that it’s made more of us acutely aware of the extent to which vulnerable people are susceptible to manipulation and malign influence. What’s also become clear is that “vulnerable people” constitute a significant proportion of the population.

Children's entertainers these days are something else.

Hello. I've been watching your videos for the past 3 years, from Tate's country of residence... Seeing you cover the topic, I dove in, for you, not him. before this video I knew nothing. I was even asking myself why you mentioned my country. i heard of a Tate that spews hate and that was enough to keep a distance from the topic . when asked for an opinion, I just replied that I am not familiar with Tate university, some people looked at me funny for not knowing that, like it was the MIT or something. now I realise I even saw his house, and he lives just a few minutes away :))))) you said it in the video, one reason he got this big was because he sold views to a lot of media outlets, so I just didn't give the topic my click. I'm intrigued by the result of your work, did it do any good? attracted more hate than usual. Cheers, keep up the good work! there is justice in Romania.

In a nutshell, if someone says there is an easy fix for complicated problem X, either the person is lying, or stupid, or both. Many aspects of life are complicated, there rarely is an easy or simple answer.

I'm a celibate man. Not involuntarily mind you, but still celibate. Never took a chance, never asked a girl out. I get along well with women, actually, just the idea of trying to woo one for romance and\or sex kind of freaks me out. Don't know why. Maybe I'm weird, maybe I'm broken, I can't say. I'm in my 40s now, never had a date much less slept with a woman. Oddly enough, I think I'm happier this way. No complications. Lonely? Maybe, but not cripplingly so. If I wanted to change, I'd be seeking a way to do so, not bellyaching on the internet that women won't put out for me.

Dude is the Hulk Hogan of Toxic Masculinity. A cartoon character and a wrestling promoter, selling snake 🐍 oil to the masses.

The Tate “Stans” remind me of those crypto bros obsessed with Gordon Gekko or Jordan Belfort/Wolf of Wall Street. There probably the same people actually.

Thanks for introducing me to Mr Croissant, Georg. I'm now subscribed to his channel, and donating $49 a month to his Patreon, to learn the secrets of the 'Alpha Pastry-archy'.

My friend who was educated in a Catholic school told me "you're a north american you do not say the word dullard." But it's all I can think about when describing Andrew Tate.

I was amused that until watching your video I've never heard Tate speak; finding myself to be somewhat taken aback by the accent. The guy is definitely going to be a classic case study in University psychology courses in years to come.

Something astounding I read the other day - 48% of boys like him, and 1% of girls. That difference is amazingly stark.

The funny thing about Tate is how such a repulsive and unlikable character became famous in the first place. Part of it was that while 80% of what he said was oversimplified trash, every once in a while he said something true or insightful. And that's what made him resonate. It obviously helped that our society is becoming lonelier by the day.

"Expensive cars with poor height clearance" hahahha

I'd like to think it wasn't done on purpose, but "Can I join Hustlers University if my English isn't very good? Yes you can join even if you're English isn't very good." Sums that shit up pretty perfectly 😂

He’s so mad at his mom

Them: He inspired me to get in shape and lose weight! Me: Richard Simmons does that. And he got wealthy doing it, to boot. So why aren’t you imitating Richard Simmons?

I've noticed a trend over the last 8 to 10 years of people saying things that seem like they're doing parody but in actuality are 100% serious. I want to say it really took off around the time of flat earth getting popular. I think there is something to be said for kids/very young adults not understanding what is real or plausible in terms of people they look up to. Less egregious than 60+ year olds I guess. In both cases touching grass really seems the only cure.

Pretty sure that’s Curtis Mayfield in the background for anyone curious. Song’s called “Pusherman”. Once again, great video Georg.

I don't need minutes to dismiss the teachings of Tate... I hear the tone of his voice. That hyper-confrontational timbre. Where every interaction needs to be dominated. He could be preaching world peace, love and good will for all in the universe. It's how he conducts himself that makes me go as far away from him as possible. I do not want to hear or be near that man, nor spend any time around him. That... That I pick up on in seconds. A fraction of a soundbite. And I do feel very sorry for the people who doesn't have the freedom to just walk away from these prophets of unease and suspicion.

Not only is this a brilliant video on a nearly overplayed subject, the outro is gold.

I grow more and more suspicious of KZfaq all the time. I hit like on the comment explaining how one of the big tricks misoginy pulls is to label men as emotionless while disregarding anger as an emotion. Try to comment on it. KZfaq tells me its gone. Refresh, it's gone despite having ~3 times the likes of other top comments. Why? Did the author delete it? It was a great comment.

In the past years, especially since "orange president", I have seen an enormous increase in news outlets, personalities etc. -who appear to live by the following model: "Say contradictory and stupid things, with as straight a face as you possibly can. When stupid people talk amongst themselves about "how stupid you are", they are spreading your name and giving you free PR".

After 2016 I stopped doing what Georg does- chasing leads on big news stories and finding out the minutiae of things. Although I'm terminally online all day and night for work and pleasure, and although I've been inundated with 60 second Tate clips and Tate memes and people mocking Tate, I never once bothered to actually fill my internet history by looking for anything 'Tate.' Thanks for doing all the work for a weary soul, Georg.

Andrew Tate is grand example of everything wrong with the world today. Another great content from Georg as always 👍

Influencers are possibly one of the more corrosive elements of our modern society….it can go too far

We can surmise there is a certain percentage of men that admire/want to be like AndrewTate and another percentage that are just like fish, easily hooked and reeled in by any one or thing.

Its amusing how his fan base is so angry and hostile, they are not happy people with fulfilling lives 😆

If you want to have a better body, you totally can. Just don't listen to people who pretend that you have to do that to get women. It's a scam, always.

The baseline to Pusher Man in the background of this video is phenomenal. Well done as always.

The outro of this video is real gem. A little bit of tough love is needed on the road to becoming a better person. You should open the University of Hard Knocks, it's a business idea right here.

I appreciate you making this video. I've been following this story via several influences and you never know how many people you can help get out of the hole.

you look like Tate if he played warhammer (I mean this as a compliment)

Hey Georg Steve here, keep the videos come my friend, always a great summary

I always thought Andrew Tate was actually gay. However, his "philosophy" is nothing new. I remember hearing the same shit, the same scams, and the same problems just from different people. I don't ask what is it about Tate that other men find compelling, but what in society has allowed Tate to seem compelling.

We know it's not Rob McElhenney because we would have heard if Rob chopped off his chin.

And of course the incels never seem to realize that women are not nearly as hung up on looks as they think. Most my friends are married to guys who are short, or fat, or otherwise not a Greek God. Most women just want a chill guy to watch Netflix with and who isn't afraid to scrub the toilet.

I've been waiting for you to cover this. Thank you.

I stopped listening to Tom Segura and his wife's podcast the day they had tate on as a guest. It was incredibly cringe.

The point about people and interviewers not pushing back enough is spot on. I kinda feel like Trump did a similar thing, sort of posturing, being a larger than life person, and a laughing stock to shield his true colours which were far worse.

I hope Romanian prisons are as bad as I imagine they are.

It's so weird I had never heard of him until he was arrested.

This was very informative. I didn't know who he was when he got arrested.

Speak with confidence, lie your ass off, talk a lot of shit, and attack anyone who challenges or disagrees with you. Rinse and repeat. Social media isn’t the first place that technique succeeds

You know, as a young struggling guy, that advice at the end kinda hits hard. I however canot imagine a younger versionof myself taking it seriously. Even when you're aware of your bullshit, you are still very succeptibke to it. The best way to sort this out is a counter manipulation. I know it gets a bad rap, but it's basically what your mom does to get you to eat vegetables. If you can get them to like you and respect you, maybe you can get them to think about themselves.

I got a 10 minute PragerU ad in front of this. I wonder why PragerU would want to be associated with Andrew Tate?

Tate needs "Beta" dudes to continue to be Beta so he can be top g or whatever the fuck he calls himself. Because without his Beta following, he would never be considered an Alpha, it's a codependent relationship with these two.

I think there was a point in my mid teens when I could have possibly at the time have had an incel mindset... like I was confused as to why I was a virgin... in retrospect, honestly think it was because of a few things, not having a father, or when he was alive not seeing my parents have a loving relationship... the death of my cousin father and grandfather...and really I think my fear of making real connective relationships due to my experience with loss putting me in an emotional position where.. frankly I wasn't that interested in making meaningful relationships because of the trauma I had experienced in my late 10s through early teens. All that said my closest friends through my mid and late teens were girls I had a platonic relationship with, plus after the loss of all of the male figures in my life, I was the only man left in my family, my sister, my mother, my grandmother... so there was no way I could ever fall for this 'manosphere' shit, like yeah my mums shit at driving, but she brought up 2 kids by herself, on a shoe string budget, and we turned out pretty good, had one of these manosphere melts been presented with the situation my mother had been they would have evaporated into thin air, instead mum brought us both up and when I (the youngest) left school and went to work, she went to university for the first time... Lol sigma bros now... my mum will out fuck you and out earn you in her mid 60's after she's already got 2 adult children.. andrew tate you fuckin batty boy.

Do you hear that crazy squeak just after 20:32 ? I thought there was a mouse nearby - or perhaps an angry bird just outside my window. I got so distracted that I rewound the video to better focus on what I missed, and I heard it again. This time, however, I thought it was my computer. I rewound again and, bam! my Alpha-level focus and determination uncovered the truth: the sound was an audio glitch in the video. "Well done," I thought, lit my cigar with a 100 pound note freshly issued from The Royal Bank of Scotland - the manliest bank of all royal banks - settled down on my leather utility bench for a half-dozen bench presses at a leisurely 180 kgs, and finished the video.

I don't plan on having kids. But if I was an expecting parent, I would make the decision now to keep my kid away from social media for as long as possible. No ipad or smartphone, no personal laptop, screen time is supervised. That's very 2003, I know. But who exactly do you want raising your kids...

38:39 "Yes, you can join Hustler's University if you're English isn't very good" This shit writes itself

Bro, you are a big channel now, fix your audio levels.

Andrew Tate is almost a real life parody of those callers in the videogame series Grand Theft Auto radio shows

anyone who manages to cram academic bibliography in an andrew tate video really deserves that subscription

How come no one ever mentions that Tate walks around with a dollar store knock-off of the Harry Potter sword?

Grown man picking on a 19 (at the time) year old on social media to shit on her cause. I'd imagine he reGreta'd that.

Amazing ending 😂 lovely awkward. Great piece mate 👍spot on

You forgot the best part of Greta;s burn - "This wouldn't have happened if you recycled your pizza boxes."

You made me rofl within just 16 seconds.... per usual another great video.

Great vid. I always wondered at what point in time did sex with prostitutes become cool? When I was a kid, it was sad middle aged picking up girls round the back of industrial estates.

As the mother of 3 sons this kind of mindset worries me. It’s not just this chump but so many followers who believes in this misogyny and terrible ideology. Thanks George for some reasoned response to this. You’re a real G 😅

I do have sympathy for men who are incels specifically for the way the media seems to love to bait them. There's often an air of sniggering and nearly always contempt for what essentially boils down to people who've been unable to realize their natural biological imperative for one reason or another. It is as if many a commentator would prefer these men to be eunuchs because the thought of them having an unrequited sex drive makes them problematic. There's a huge emotional cost to being rejected and if there's one thing our culture has extremely poor at doing it is nurturing intimacy and emotional honesty. For a start we have all been lied to about what the standard human experience is and been fed stories about finding 'the one' who you'll love just as much as they will love you and you'll just know it when it happens because it'll be effortless like you are 2 halves of the same entity just waiting to live happily ever after..! My generation were told that men were afraid of commitment and that they abandoned their families because they lacked a feminine side and so most of us grew up swearing that we'd never do that only to find that women didn't want commitment either, especially as there was no longer a shortage of men, they wanted the independence they'd been promised and being committed to make it work just gets you scoffed at and threatened with restraining orders! No, the vast majority of people who have lived on this planet have not had a 'soulmate' and the idea that it is normal is clearly harmful. Marriage was always about property and just because it's what the aristocrats did in order to maintain ownership claims and consolidate wealth it doesn't mean that we should all do the same. Common folk lived very different lives if you look into it. Most men died without leaving offspring while those that did tended to leave lots. It is a bleak situation and the fact that it hurts is a testament to the depth of that person rather than the sign of pathetic-ness that it is often portrayed as. Once someone learns that their vulnerability will get them ridiculed they can be expected to become bitter and resentful... and all the while the desires they inherited never go away... nor does the image of 'normal' that includes all kinds of people who'd until recently been at risk of public shaming and persecution... It all seems so wrong when it gets put like that! My advice if you are hung up on not getting laid is to go see a pro and get it out of the way. Not only will it help put you back on an even keel physiologically putting priorities into a different order (at least temporarily) it'll help demystify women too and you'll be better able to experience them as individual people rather than as a class of alien creatures. Do it sooner rather than later and you'll have a much better chance at avoiding toxic baggage and becoming comfortable being yourself when opportunities for spontaneous intimacy come along. I think that UK and US culture is extremely unhealthy when it comes to sex by making it taboo so they can commodify it and shame you at the same time whereas many other parts of the world are far more at ease with accepting people's needs. When I was younger I was very shy and I never felt comfortable doing the 'chatting up' stuff in pubs and clubs because it didn't seem right to 'take advantage' of drunk women! The amount of times I just froze and ended up angry at myself... I had this notion that sex was always something that men wanted and women put up with and it wasn't until I was in my late 20's that I let go of that misconception. If I had my time again I'd definitely be much less uptight and apologetic and express myself more directly and with much more freedom. I was definitely repressed and even though I had a few early encounters they were largely either forgettable or extremely embarrassing because I didn't know what I was doing. It pains me to see that we are getting worse as a culture at this on top of everything else and media plays a massive part in that.
