How Did Andrew Tate Become A Thing?

Because you seem to be on some sort of delay. he's been reviled across the rest of the English speaking world already.

America is his last resort - like Milo Yianoppolous

He went into the MRA/PUA/Manosphere grift - which appeals strongly to the legions of alienated and emasculated young men in the west. He also sells MLMs and various bullshit lifestyle/financial guru courses. Some of them are about how to get a girlfriend and then force her into sex work so you can take her money. Some of them are for the typical stuff like FBA and Dropshipping. When you join his cult, you rise up the ranks based on how much work you do to help market his persona and brand. So you get brownie points in Hustler University for shilling his clips on tiktok and youtube. He's also involved with the Peterson family and may have dated Mikhaila briefly. They probably hooked him up with dark right wing money because he started exploding around the time he started slinging anti-SJW and pro-austerity takes along with his usual violent and misogynistic take on male self-improvement. He's a very dangerous figure who is warping the minds of an enormous audience of young men.

r3 why is he warping their minds? is it because they have not had their needs met while all the focus has been on special tiny little groups who have been given disproportionate support?

The idea being "fuck them, they're only white straight kids"? All the support given to black kids haven't stopped them stabbing each other and selling drugs, has it?

He lost his looks when he went bald.

And I don't want to know what "FBA and Dropshipping" is or are.

r5 dropshipping is you ordering shit from someone on the internet at an inflated rate then them sending you it from China - you probably do it all the time without even knowing it.

He's trending because Greta Thunberg shoved him into a locker.

r7 half a photo - could be Kirstie Allie

BREAKING: Andrew Tate and brother Tristan arrested in Romania in human trafficking probe

R8 Hopefully Greta is maturing into a less-ugly adult.

r10 anything could be better than that ugly little troll who never fitted in with the Moomins

His sorry ass is trending because he picked a fight with Greta and got his tiny dick and nonexistent balls handed back to him on a silver platter. This moron — who is too stupid to realize that he got owned by the 19-year-old he was trying to embarrass — then responded to her with, “How dare you?!” How very Karen of him. Not satisfied that he had already demeaned himself sufficiently, he then staged a completely idiotic little video response to Greta in which which he shows himself to be totally pathetic.

Oh, and he’s been arrested. Karma is apparently working overtime during this holiday period.

How does anyone become a "thing"? People pick it up and popularise it and then mainstream media open that to a wider audience. Almost as if it is orchestrated by certain little groups

He was tracked down from a pizza box in a clapback video he did in response to Greta's sick burn.

It’s so hilarious that his ego and need to respond is what got him arrested! A fucking pizza box! 😂

Of interest, OP:
