The appeal of the men who sell masculinity

Restored from Instagram stories ·

read my previous criticisms on the TTB(the tate brothers)

my criticisms aren't
- allegations on sexual trafficking (a wild goose chase. we have some complaints. he's sued. was kept without being charged. now under house arrest. and still not deposed in court over those charges. if they had proof, he'd have a sentence already. so not debating on that)
- that he's influencing people in the wrong way.
- blah blah blah.. no.

i criticise the very fact about how much he propagates an incel culture based on hypocrisy. i question the very basis of what he sells - 'masculinity'

i demolished that on my criticism by stating that what he states is nothing more than personal discipline and it has nothing to do with gender.

i demolished the very fact that he's trying to save men, by stating from both TTB videos - basically their own words - on how they actually made their first few million $ by scamming the very men that they loudly say they want to save by preying on the weakness that they had.

when tate fans put him on the pedestal that he's the saving grace of a masculinity, i demolish that by stating that muscles and this doesn't make a man, but virtue does.

there are far more virtuous men in history you can take as models of masculinity.

// i heavily criticised the incel nature of blaming the matrix - their version of the government or rich people acting as a system to prevent others from growing.

if you are actually a man you say you are, you'll know how to be a part of that power circle. that's what the laws of power are.

there's a difference between having leadership qualities and the ability to gain power and wielding the same.

the same difference between being the leader of a group of piglets or the runt of the society and being the leader of a society.

so question yourself. any human who says they are protesting against the upper echelons of power in a society are just deluding yourself with the matrix or the fight club stuff. it feels rebellious. it feels awesome. but it isn't real life.

even if you actually manage to shake the existing power 'matric' as you call it, when you establish power, you become what you actually sought out to destroy.

take it from history. i can quote countless.

one example? the French revolution and Napolean. did things change? lol no. the man who started the guillotine was guillotined.

boom done. anarchy never wins. it's like a temporary ecstasy feeling by which you feel good.

humans are heavily social, follow societal rules and hence it's heavily important to control to govern everyone in a good way.

you like it or not, the matrix is here to stay. you sit on it, you become it.

you wanna escape it? die.

atleast the earth gets back more nutrients.

idk. is countering the worst of idiotic cult followers very easy when you know history? yes.

---
but there are important take-aways. TTB are one of the most brilliant marketers and sales people of the modern world.

the way they talk, the fluency is something you should learn.

give credits where it's due.

it's impossible to have an army of fools come at you for literally nothing in the modern world. it's insane. it's amazing that they actually built something that people think that it threatens society.

that's a skill. that's pure talent. read that.

one day, perhaps I will sit and write a long form essay analysing it in all perspectives.

tbh, i don't hate TTB followers at all. not all people who follow him listen to all of his words. some people in my circle who follow him don't like his hoeing stuff. they like him for his rebellious nature and it's natural for people to follow someone who rebels and questions authority.

the very same stuff that inspires following for people like savukku etc .,

the psychoanalysis is something that i like doing.

so i am not hard at people who follow TTB.

-- but i do call out people who endorse them like fitness influencers since that's bad influence to use that to bind with masculinity.

otherwise, chill. internet is not real life.
