We had a good chat, Tate and I, but the guy gives me the horrors. Not all the time, but enough of the time, I simply hate what he thinks. If I had a son, I'd hate the thought of him being exposed to it, and I’m far from wild about my daughters having to deal with teenage boys who have soaked it in. I even agonised about whether I ought to do this interview. Although if the most googled man on the planet can't be written about in a newspaper, then I’m honestly not sure what any of us are here for.

Postliberals who loathe Tate imagine the multiracial working class as resolutely anti-capitalist. Anyone familiar with “grindset” knows blacks and Hispanics don’t want to overthrow the capitalist system. They want to game it to achieve the American Dream. This, of course, often leads them into pyramid schemes and other harebrained endeavors--which Tate seems to actively promote. But their stupid attempts don’t disabuse them of American capitalism. The promise of wealth attracts them more than the pseudo-Marxism espoused by an irrelevant Beltway intelligentsia.

Andrew Tate is probably the most famous internet celebrity in the world right now.
In recent weeks he has been Googled more often than the President of America, more often than Donald Trump and more often than most major pop stars. As of this week, the #AndrewTate hashtag has over 12.7 billion views on TikTok.

And Tate fed into that by saying, "Hang on, what's wrong with being a bloke? What's wrong in male culture? What's wrong in male humour?" He fed into those things. His was a campaign of raising awareness, his was a campaign of giving people perhaps a bit of confidence at school or whatever it was to speak up.

It is no secret that the internet is awash with ugly and harmful content. However, it is rare when someone like Andrew Tate rises to become one of the most famous people on social media because of their harmful content.
While many are already speaking out against Tate, there is a legion of (primarily male) supporters who consume, venerate and share his dangerous content.
Here in the UK, it is not an exaggeration to say that many young students returning to school at the end of the summer holidays will have seen something produced by Andrew Tate. The effect that Tate’s brand of vitriolic misogyny can have on the young male audience is deeply concerning. His content is widely celebrated by his fans for having brought back "traditional masculinity".
However, we also know that misogyny can be a gateway to other extreme and discriminatory views, and there is a serious danger that some people, sucked in by his sexist content, will align with his wider far-right politics.
