Self-professed misogynist influencer Andrew Tate believes reading is for people with “slow brains,” according to a recent resurfaced clip of him on X. In the video, Tate is seen bragging that his brain is too advanced for reading and that he’d rather be in constant chaos.

“I’m too smart to read. I know you’re sitting there going ‘smart people read’... no. I need action. I need constant chaos in my life to feel content. I need to be driving a supercar and f—ing fighting, f—ing a bunch of hoes and champagne… going crazy.”

I need action. I need constant chaos in my life to feel content.

This is the sound of deep, deep, profound, deep insecurity chasing a man down a never-ending alleyway peppered with neon signs that say "Unattractive to Women?", "Easily Bullied By Other Men?", "GAY???"

I hope he does serious prison time for his crimes, because it will be extra enjoyable knowing that it's literally the worst place he could ever find himself. No escaping one's own mind in that place.

Oh if he goes to prison he's going to get it. The guards will be taking bets on how long he lasts.

He has money and political connections, he will get let off easy, and if a prison sentence at all will get VIP treatment, not the least in Eastern Europe.

Yeah, that quoted statement definitly sounds like a massive cope for a profound feeling of emptiness and/or inedequacy.
