    After hearing the Behind the Bastards episode on this guy, he just seems like a self-aggrandizing blowhard. Why is this brand of narcissism so appealing to certain segments of society?

      Confidence and self-esteem (as misplaced as they may be) are attractive to those who lack those qualities. Anyone with a shred of their own self-esteem or confidence can see right through him. Unfortunately, there are plenty of vulnerable, disenfranchised, or mentally ill people out there ready to be taken advantage of. Hopefully his days in the spotlight are numbered.

      There’s a shortage of positive cis white male role models. Some kids need that and they latch onto whoever is the loudest.

    The fact he was arrested because of a ‘look at how alpha i am’ tweet to Greta Thunberg makes this so much sweeter

      Andrew Tate is the one who said “you looked hotter years ago” meaning when she was about 15 or 16, right?

      He did, and then publicly bragged on the internet about how Romania wasn’t going to arrest him.

      They, uh, didn’t take that kindly.
