Oh shit, there’s a database of the easily influenced with expendable income?
I guarantee the vast majority are around 14 years old
How many 14 year olds have $50 per month going spare?
Potentially more 14 year olds than 34 year olds.
Kids got allowances but no bills and most Americans out here living paycheck to paycheck
Time to become a scammer and financially ruin the kind of dumb men who would fall for this?
It would be morally indefensible not to!
I don’t know.
I think alienation is what drove droves of young men to this clown, so perhaps we shouldn’t try and alienate them more by scamming them and try and understand what the appeal of Tate was/is and work to fix that.
I think i read something or maybe listened to a podcast, where they theorized that Tate got his audience around the time when Jordan Peterson left the "guardian of young men" role. I think it kinda stands to reason that young men don't really have decent men as mentors or role models these days.
No, no, no. Tate is scamming them and they love it. They need scammed until they get their fill. In the meantime, why not profit like Tate, Alex Jones, Tim Pool and Glen Beck? Maybe sell some nice, Freedom Ass Tanning lotion.
I only steal from corporations, however bad the individual may be. That’s just my moral compass though.
And only if the corporation is big enough. Don't steal from your local corner store.
And also, don't steal for profit.
I work at a hardware store, and if you steal some small shit like a file/screwdriver/whatever, you're good. If I see you stealing 5k in light fixtures, tools, and batteries, I'll get my bonus thank you very much.
Corporation by definition is a large company or group of companies.
I would class my local corner shop as stealing from people, as in it’s an individual or families livelihood.
I agree on not taking the piss though and stealing £5k in light fixtures. If only corporations would have such limitations in their theft.
I fully agree, some people just need the extra clarification though
At the store I'm at it's handled pretty nice, we won't stop anyone under a very low amount (single digit €) and above that it's very dependent on your behaviour + how much you tried to steal, so you might just have to pay a 50€ fine without police involvement.
That would be over half of the male population in the U.S.
Sadly many people pony up for these scams out of desperation despite being unable to afford them.
