The Manosphere Recruiter Got a White House Number
Read more . . . →Here’s the part of the Barron Trump dating-advice story nobody wants to say out loud: the campaign did this on purpose. Trump handed his youngest son the job of pulling in young male voters, and the pipeline ran straight through Andrew Tate — a guy under human-trafficking charges in Romania and facing four women in a UK rape lawsuit this month. Tate’s move was to send Justin Waller, who calls himself the “third brother” to the Tates and teaches that a woman’s only born value is how she looks. That’s who got handed a White House family number. Not a...

The Manosphere Is Just a Scam With Better Lighting
Read more . . . →Sadiq Khan stood up in London this week and called the manosphere what it is: snake oil salesmen peddling pound shop misogyny to a lost generation of young men. He’s right, and the part everyone keeps tiptoeing around is that it’s a business. Tate, the HSTikkyTokky crowd, the whole grindset content farm — they’re not selling masculinity. They’re selling a course to a 19-year-old who can’t find a job, can’t afford rent, and has been told his whole life that if he just hustled hard enough the door would open. The door’s been bricked up for years. These guys figured...

He Flew to Moscow to Ask Permission
Read more . . . →The manosphere’s hardest man spent this week in Moscow. Andrew Tate — the guy who sells teenage boys a religion of never needing anyone’s approval — showed up at Putin’s economic forum visibly looking for some. He was reportedly invited to promote “Christian values,” which is a choice, given that he’s a Muslim convert under criminal investigation for sex crimes in two countries. He got the bread-and-salt welcome, posted a folk-dance video to his timeline, and drew a grand total of three fans outside his hotel after his people promised a swarm. Here’s the part the algorithm won’t push to...

The Alpha Male Is in Court This Month
Read more . . . →Andrew Tate is in a London courtroom this month, sued by four women who say he beat them, choked one of them unconscious during sex, and held a gun on another between 2013 and 2015. He denies all of it. The manosphere’s favorite philosopher — the man who spent years selling teenage boys a worldview where being a real man means domination — is finally being asked, under oath, what domination looked like when he actually practiced it. The answer, according to the claimants, is a woman strangled until she passed out and another told “you’re going to do as...

Joe Rogan feels 'betrayed.' Millions of workers felt it first.
Read more . . . →Joe Rogan says he feels “betrayed” by Trump over the Iran war. Tucker Carlson went on air and apologized for “misleading” his audience. Eight of the fourteen bro-podcast hosts Trump campaigned with have turned against the war. Day 56 of a conflict the no-more-wars candidate started — he’s blockading Iranian ports and just cancelled peace talks because the flights were “too long.” These are the guys who handed Trump the keys. Rogan gave him three hours of softballs. Carlson gave him months of uncritical coverage. They sold the no-more-wars line to millions of people and now they’re doing the confused...

Barron's Pen Pal
Read more . . . →The New York Times reports the president’s 20-year-old son has been corresponding with Andrew Tate since 2024. Tate is the accused rapist and human trafficker who got airlifted out of Romanian prosecution onto a Florida tarmac because the manosphere economy demanded his continued podcasting. This is who Barron looks up to. Of course he does. The whole administration is a manosphere group chat with nuclear codes — call women weak, call workers parasites, call due process woke, then tape a four-hour podcast about how a Bugatti makes you a man. The Tates weren’t downstream of the White House. They were...

The Tate Brothers Just Accidentally Funded Women's Shelters
Read more . . . →Devon and Cornwall Police seized roughly a million pounds from Andrew and Tristan Tate — unpaid taxes on £21 million the brothers raked in running their misogyny-industrial complex — and handed it straight to programs that reduce violence against women and girls. That is the single funniest sentence written in English this month. The guy whose entire career is built on teaching young men to treat women as objects is now, involuntarily, bankrolling the people trying to undo his damage. He ran the grift, skimmed the receipts, and a U.K. magistrate stuffed those receipts into a women’s shelter. Incredible. Meanwhile...

Accused Rapist Gets His Travel Ban Lifted by Trump's Friends, Posts Selfies
Read more . . . →Andrew Tate is posting nightclub selfies in Hong Kong right now because US right-wing figures close to Trump pressured Romania into lifting his travel ban — the same guy facing rape and trafficking charges in two countries. Meanwhile his associate is bragging about dinner with Barron at Mar-a-Lago on a Netflix documentary, because apparently the first family’s guest list and a sex trafficking indictment aren’t mutually exclusive anymore.
