    Another part of the transcript reads: “Mainly I’m going to slave these bitches […] I’m going to make them work even more hours and hours and hours… I work these bitches like slaves. […] SLAVE work. Minimum 10 or 12 hours a day.”

    Pieces of shit deserve to rot in jail. I hope he does for a long time and doesn’t end up back on YouTube and social media otherwise his braindead fans will say see he was innocent that’s why he’s back.

    This so-called man is the public face of narcissistic personality disorder. My favorite part of the embedded interview is when he described himself as “stoic” without a trace of irony.

    I get the feeling Tate, Putin, Trump, Musk, and the Fox News fascists will all be charged at the same time or not at all.

        I’ll clarify for you. I believe these are all different heads of one Hydra, and they’ll either all be attacked at once, or they will attack first and there will be nobody to stop them.

          I don’t think it runs that deep. I think we’re just way more aware of these dickheads with the 24 hour news cycle and endless communication on the internet.

            I think it runs so much deeper than even politics. Spiritual ignorance is a malignant mind virus. The genocide of Nazis is a symptom of spiritual corruption. I don’t suspect a conscious conspiracy as much as an approaching critical mass. This high energy state is unsustainable. Eventually there will be a short circuit that will ground this ignorance back into reality.

              What is spiritual ignorance and spiritual corruption? They just sound like meaningless nonsense phrases meant to point to an ethereal, nebulous common link that you assume exists but can’t identify.

                Spiritual ignorance is resistance to gnosis. Gnosis is the realization that consciousness is the basis of the universe, and every atrocity you commit in the name of ego is a wound upon your greater self. It’s why Jesus warned against wealth and earthly authority, and why those authorities murdered him and used his legend to perpetuate their own existence. You don’t even need to believe in spiritualism or Christianity to understand that the material world is only half the story. You go to sleep every night and exist in an entirely new world built upon your own consciousness. Your waking life is just the dream of a higher order of consciousness as well.

                  Your posts read like you ate a first year philosophy text book, and now you’re puking it up without any real grasp of what you’re saying.

                  If consciousness is the basis of the universe, I would ask you to demonstrate it.

                  Personally, the only consciousness I’m aware of comes from living, corporeal beings. Science’s best understanding tells me that the universe existed for 10 billion years before the Earth. And the Earth is the only place that I’m aware of consciousness existing. Therefore, in my understanding, consciousness could not possibly be the basis of the universe.

                  Everything you’ve said sounds like spiritual and religious woo. No thanks, I prefer reality.

          Tate is just your common or garden sado-misogynist (reminds me a lot of this psychopath).

          Trump is a wannabe Putin and Musk is a wannabe Trump.

          The Fox News fascists are just amoral, well-paid lackeys.

          All risen or rising to prominence as part of the same global fascist spasm, of course. But Tate is street-fry. He poisons minds but he’s got no real power. And he’ll most likely disappear into obscurity very soon, like so many before him.

            He’s a symptom of the capitalist disease. Essentially, he’s what happens when a person is hollowed out and nothing remains except capitalist ideology. My point is that they’re all garden variety scum, but they’re uplifted into power by a cultural corruption that’s as old as consciousness. The religions of old warned about this kind of mental programming when the dominant form of ignorance on the planet was building pyramids and colluseums.

              In some ways he is. In other ways though, no he’s just a person who is like that. And speaking as a pagan you’re fucking insane if you think this wasn’t happening under pagan rule. Our rot is the same that the Roman republic had.

              Maybe something could’ve made him not this way, but he seems to have been emptier than most before anything. Whether or not their soul is still intact is a question for them and the gods to discuss. But the reality is that in a healthy ancient society he probably would’ve been either dealt with violently or expelled to die. In an unhealthy one, he’d’ve sought to build power with disaffected young men, raped unprotected women who were unable to defend themselves, and either come to power or died trying. Patriarchy is fucking old and he’s got it bad.

                I never said anything about the Pagans, so don’t put words in my mouth. It’s a spiritual rot. It happens on the individual level and it is solved on the community level.

              Yes, such authoritarian charlatans are symptoms of capitalism. This does not mean they are in any way connected.

    The online version of Andrew Tate has already divided the world into prosecution and defence. But in the legal process that’s about to begin in Bucharest, it’s his real-life actions on trial.
