as someone who lives in the UK, seeing Andrew Tate’s influence on kids is really depressing. those kids are gonna grow up as assholes not knowing any better
Nearly eight in ten 16-17 year-old boys in the UK have watched Tate’s content, according to a survey by the anti-extremism group Hope Not Hate, with just over half viewing him in a positive light.
Thank you, these threads get so frustrating. Every thread where boomers get mentioned, there’s so much hate, and a lot of questionable information. Younger generations have done so good about fighting intolerance, and have a lot of the credit for progress with women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, etc., but so many people seem completely comfortable making sweeping generalizations about boomers all being money grubbing misogynistic bigots. I don’t think this community would stand for it if people said “I can’t wait until they’re all dead” about any other group, but I see it regularly about boomers.
And a lot of the impressions are just wrong. Here’s a Pew research chart on the 2020 election demographics by age. Yes, it does show that there are more older Trump voters than older Biden voters, but take a look at the magnitude of the differences - it’s very small. Also notice that the difference between the number of younger Trump voters and younger Biden voters isn’t that great either.
People think all the older people are wearing MAGA hats and all the younger people are wearing pride shirts, but the reality is the amount that the age groups skew one way or the other isn’t that huge. There are tons of liberal older people (like me) and lots of conservative younger people.
Just because you feel that, doesn’t make it true.
There’s no real difference between boomers and anyone else. Still using the same wetware as every other human for 10k years.
There will be rapey boomers, rapey gen x, rapey millenials and rapey gen z.
For example, Andrew Fucking Tate and his regressive masculinity bollocks is extremely popular all over

Yeah… but I think the question is: if Andrew Tate didn’t exist, how many of those assholes would be balanced well adjusted men. Not many.
good point

Just because some statistics show something like
Doesn’t mean that every single one of those views were done in the same way.
I watched some crazy shit when I was 16 but I didn’t think Faces Of Death was anything more than entertainment.
You could just read the article I linked
That is a seriously alarming number
