This Negro Escaped the Hustler’s University

Cool story by Vice

The centrepiece of Tate’s business empire, the site bills itself as “the world’s most advanced financial education platform” and promises to equip young men with the entrepreneurial skills to allow them to “escape ‘the Matrix’” – Tate’s disparaging term for mainstream society – and avoid an otherwise inevitable future as a “brokie”. Mahmoud was convinced it would make him rich.

Andrew Tate uses a psychological trick that all the shyster influencers use. He insults his audience calling them inadequate and then offers a solution, a course. A course that if you take you will not be a brokie loser, and you will have money, fast cars, and lots of hoez.

Before long, he was completely immersed in Tate’s universe. Isolating himself from friends and family, Mahmoud would regularly spend 10-12 hours a day – sometimes as many as 16 – at his computer, editing and publishing social media videos promoting Tate daily as part of the required coursework. He had become a cog in the same sophisticated PR machine that had initially drawn him into the influencer’s web.

Andrew Tate is farming the suckers to promote his truly.

While much has been made of the toxic influence of Tate’s misogynistic attitudes on a generation of impressionable young men, former Tate supporters and critics have spoken out to VICE News to warn of another dimension of the threat he poses: that his latest business endeavour, in their view, is scamming his own fans.

The “misogyny” is part of the plot. The boys ain’t getting any punani from the girls and they are told to be nice, and they strike with the ladies. So, the manosphere is a flash from the sky. Something fresh! The question some people have is why Andrew Tate was allowed to blow up and the others were not? Now every Karen associates the manosphere with Andrew Tate. People are suspecting a psy-op, a Tavistock manipulation or something along those lines.

The Real World, they say, is a cynical and ingenious grift – with the hallmarks of a pyramid scheme – that targets teenagers to financially exploit them, while using them as drones to power Tate’s formidable social media PR machine. Students on the platform, they say, are given low-quality tuition amid a cult-like atmosphere, where they are pushed to skip sleep and work unsustainably long hours in pursuit of their coursework, which involves producing social media videos promoting Tate and his interests – acting as a decentralised content factory for the influencer.

LOL

One of Tate’s closest associates, Miles Sonkin, who uses the pseudonym Iggy Semmelweis, has stated that its “prime demographic” is “school-age boys, 12-18,” and the platform features a “gamified” design intended to appeal to young people. It’s heavily promoted at teenagers, with promotional posts claiming that young teenagers are making huge sums on the platform.

They are targeting high schoolers…
