I'm not the genius chess grandmaster that Tate is, but somehow I have managed to avoid the inside of every single Romanian prison.
Also, I've never trafficked even one person. Seems like a pretty beta male move on his part.
I have managed to avoid the inside of every single Romanian prison.
The secret is to avoid carbs. Romanian pizza is what took Tate down.
I somehow forgot that him getting pissy at the existence of Greta Thunberg is what gave Romanian cops the data they needed to arrest him.
Nope, somebody on Twitter literally just made that part up.

Well, TIL. I liked it better when it was a meme and not a serious police investigation that took him down, but it makes sense.
I suspect the reason it spread so easily was that people wanted to believe.
Downside: Considered a monster by sane people worldwide
Upside: Can order shaorma via glovo every day, even in house arrest
What, you mean you didn't have a successful YouTube channel that advocated for rape and human trafficking and then moved to Romania because you said it made facilitating rape and human trafficking easier and so you were never arrested in Romania for rape and human trafficking?!
This made me smirk.
I refuse to answer this question without my lawyer present
I am the genius chess grandmaster that Tate is!
But not that Tate...
who is charged with human trafficking and rape
And who is a darling of the right despite them knowing that. Sounds familiar, come to think of it...
Just needs some tax fraud and he's fit to run for office as a Republican
Isn't that one of the reasons he moved to Romania in the first place?
The country's lax laws on rape are "probably 40% of the reason" he moved there, in his own words.
The spokespeople for the right are full of individuals like this. It's insane they feel the need to invent elaborate conspiracy theories about others when these people are right in front of their faces.
Projection
They need the other side to also be terrible to maintain the 'both sides are the same' narrative. It's why they're desperate to impeach Biden for something.
They all claim that he hasn't been convicted yet, so he isn't a rapist.
Just have to ignore the part where Taters said he/him fled to Romania because the human trafficking laws are more lax.
Trump was found liable for rape and they still don't call him a rapist. I wish they'd just come out and admit they're fine with rape instead of all of this pussyfooting around.
Considering that he explicitly said that he moved to Romania because he felt he could operate with impunity there, it's good they're keeping him restricted.
Publicly bragging that the Romanian justice system is corrupt and won't detain him probably didn't help.
Quite the contrary, I think it helped the rest of us a lot, by keeping that piece of shit detained.
Not saying it is a bad thing. It is also very fortunate that Romania needs to show that they have a robust judical system to get into the Schengen agreement. I hope for society, that Romania now really needs to show that they can keep the EU safe from non-EU criminals like Tate.
Oh, he's trying to flee Romania the same way he fled the UK to escape accusations of domestic violence and sexual aggression?
Fuck him and his brother. I hope they both rot for life in the worst Romanian prison they can find and that they lose everything. They fucking deserve it for all they've done to humanity.
Any hope of an actual criminal trial in the near future? Granted, any ruling against him is a plus, but let’s get on with it and put this shitstain in prison where he belongs.
I've literally never heard of this guy outside of Reddit (haven't been back since they killed RIF) and here. These articles do more to make him relevant than the other way around like it should be.
This is the first I’ve seen about him on Reddit or here, but he’s all over TikTok, YouTube, talked about among high schoolers and anywhere incels gather.
Not contradicting, but sharing my perspective. I teach 14 - 18 year olds in the USA, 80% of which are male. Andrew Tate peaked in their discussions about the time of his 1st arrest. (Was that last year?) I rarely hear about him anymore and really none this past school year.
If the current conversations I'm constantly battling are any indication, then the content algorithms are mainly serving up Jewish hate. Though surprisingly those comments are not tied to current events in Israel and Gaza.
Being relevant for losing appeals against being prosecuted for human trafficking isn't really the desirable kind of clout
He's now contained in an Eastern European country. Now if only he could be contained within a prison.
Do you mean, "contained?"
There was never a typo in my comment.
Gatekeep, gaslight, girlboss
Lol
Womp womp fuck this piece of trash.
Oh no! Anyway.
Good for him! He will soon be surrounded only by other dominant males. No beta losers nor stupid women in Romanian jails.
'...(he) claimed that prosecutors have no evidence against him and that there is a political conspiracy to silence him. He was previously banned from various prominent social media...'
Am I the only one here old enough to realize 12 years ago this argumentation chain would have been hilarious?
Not that I support human trafficking, but damn news writers nowadays are at the very best lazy as shit.
What's the argument here?
