      Apparently he was in the U.K. saying they needed to dissolve parliament, so… I guess anyone, anywhere who will give him power to rule over them.

      Seems pretty evident he has no loyalty to South Africa or the U.S… so why anyone would give him the time of day to listen is beyond me.

    Just a reminder that hypocritical Republicans are still planning for “war”.

    They’re literally in the cesspool of Reddit and community forums trying desperately to justify political violence. He went to college. Literally one semester in Utah mind you. He has a trans roommate, therefore he’s left. With no evidence again mind you.

    Oh they’re still planning and salivating for “retribution” against the left.

    And big ol’ reminders that when the violence from the right comes, the “left” they go after won’t be white people, it’ll be directly aimed at minorities, Blacks probably the hardest because even when the violent right knew the suspect was white, the first guy arrested was an old white dude, they still called in death threats to HBCUs.

    Remember 2A isn’t just for racist Republicans and a assasinated by Republicans Charlie Kirk there minority Americans. Stay safe.

    A lie can make it halfway 'round the world before the truth has got its boots on.

    A famous aphorism, which, ironically, is actually somewhat difficult to nail down attribution to a specific originator, due to essentially similar sentiment and phrasing being used by fairly notable people… for hundreds, or thousands of years.

      I know. I was really hoping it was gonna be time to kill some nazis til i get unlucky, but they just cannot make up their fucking minds.

      It’s so frustrating.

        My ancestors didn’t deal with Nazis by voting them to go away, or having civil convos with them. They fucking blew up their factories!

          Yeah, well, MY ancestors dealt with nazis by giving them all favorable business deals or jobs with the government and industry and probably also blowing them, and that seems to have turned out just fine in ways that have no bearing on any current situation, so why don’t we accept that that different cultures can have different equally valid ways of addressing problems?

      I know Knowledge Fight calls it the wet cement time period. Grifters like Jones and the whole GOP spew as many lies as possible to benefit their side until it dries, and then they don’t often discuss the truth so the old set lies continue to dwell in people’s heads.

      Libs of tiktok is a “satire” account. That’s actually a right wing thing. The other one I don’t know.

    Shouldn’t Andrew Tate be busy raping young slave women instead of screeching civil war?

    “They won’t leave us in peace”

    … to fuck us over and plunder all the wealth?

    This is the “if you won’t treat me as an authority, I won’t treat you as a person” all over again.

    “THIS TIME IT’S WAR!” Said the keyboard warriors and dregs of human civilization… as they sat safely behind their screens like real men.
    Some were so manly and tough that they hired bodyguards to protect themselves.

      In the US, following pressure from the Trump administration on Romanian authorities to lift travel restrictions,[215] Tate left Romania by private jet for the United States and arrived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he had become the subject of a statewide criminal investigation.[13][216]

      I thought I remembered he was allowed to go to Florida. Yet another Trump atrocity. After reading Tate’s Wikipedia page about his crimes, he should’ve probably been the one to take a bullet. Jesus fucking Christ what a monster.

      You’re German. Share a border with the Czech Republic. I can excuse a non-European, but you must know that it was Romania.

        Ah, but Tate’s more famous in the US, in Europe you might pay less attention to the news.

        Not me, I’m terminally online and remember the whole fucking pizza box based arrest. But I think normal Europeans care less about American idiots?

          Um, no.

          He’s only partly US American and has apparently spent significant time in Europe. Significant enough to get him into jail.

          And for the larger implications in your comment, yes, we read news about the USA, probably most after European. All your media has this entertainment aspect. But tbh that has been increasingly less fun since, say, Jan 6 2021, and none at all since Jan 2025.

            Huh? I swear if I asked random people on the street, more than half of them wouldn’t know who Tate or Kirk are. They’re so insignificant, they’re normally not reported on here.

            Also what about Estonian media has this entertaining aspect and what does it have to do with Tate or other American pseudo celebrities?
