I think a lot for the guys that follow these morons and buy into this culture did not have positive male role models growing up, thus turn to media for some guidance.
This does not excuse their conduct or self-delusion, but does explain why it happens.
They are victims as much as they are villains.
Very much so, which makes it all that more sad.
I'm in no way excusing their villanry, but most are so delusional that they won't ever take a hard look at the way they are and wonder if they could be something else or if they need to change
They also never grew out of high school mentality.
Don't forget has never assessed what they have to offer, nor do they make efforts to improve.
That’s what most people tend to forget, unfortunately.
One of the harder moments in my adult life was facing the fact that I had nothing to offer at that time which was why only creepy much older gay men were interested in me as I looked like I was 15 at 25.
The funniest thing about Andrew Tate is he's so obviously overcompensating for being gay. I mean funny weird, it would be funny ha ha if he weren't also a manipulative kidnapping rapist and grifter.
"Everything is transactional, especially relationships"
"The reason feeeeemales don't want to commit to transactions with High Value Men is feminism and wokeness" 
Such a romantic
It's like Cosmo and their awful sex tips for women.
Keep them single, they'll keep coming back to you.
People only offer derision towards people who fall for this (which is absolutely reasonable), but only a few see it as the fucking tragedy it is, no one gives a fucking shit about young men and their issues or gives them support, who are then taken wholesale by THESE bastards and turned into incels and/or nazis, had young men had any support from decent people we might have less people on the side of the bastards
I've stopped believing that. I think there's plenty of support for them online; people like Mark Manson have been putting out great stuff for years. (His writings helped me through a lot of stuff.)
I think the main problem is that improving yourself requires admitting that you were wrong about some things, and apparently that's really hard to do for some people. Easier to blame it on the rest of society.
bullshit. hating the world is just the easy way out, admitting you yourself are wrong is simply harder.
We need a starterpacks community!
Who are these two high value men (lol) next to Tate and the other one with the selfie?
With role models like this, This guy is a small life crisis away from "can you spare a crumb of pussy" to "does this rag smell like ether"
Sneako and his "I'm a little teapot" lookin ass with those goofy ass ears. Holding a dickhead like him or the Tates up as some sort of goal to strive towards is synonymous with "rock bottom."
I get it - like I understand the mechanism behind why some younger dudes become infatuated with these figures. It's the same reason boomer housewives get into the Law of Attraction or why people who don't have a single fucking clue think Trump is going to fix everything if he could just get one more term in office... but I don't get it.
What a bunch of freemales
Kermit the sexist philosopher.
No, these people were always sexist, that's why it's so easy to hook them on this bullshit.
We are all socialised with misogyny (as well as cis-heteronormativity) literally from infancy (and those of us who are directly impacted sadly internalise them to a depressing degree), and that's when we need to start fighting against it, not only once the misogynists turn violent (verbally as well as physically), it's too late at that point (even if they can be deradicalized the damage they did is already done).
That is not necessarily true. People can and do change. Darth Vader was not born evil, after all.
