Guess what an idiot with a Twitter account did now

[CubinNY]

This idiot may deserve his own thread

But for now it appears he did something stupid with his Twitter account

Did he do something bad in Romania?

Thread (and that account) has some more details, but they arrested him in relation to an ongoing human trafficking case. Believe I saw that it involves at least two young women or possibly underage girls.

oh this rocks lmao

Except the human trafficking part.

Someone had fun with Tate's wikipedia entry...

[CyHawk_Cub]

Heh, yesterday, someone I follow re-tweeted Great Thunberg's roasting of him...

.....and then he gets busted, hahaha. Sometimes, not often, we get nice things.

[WrigleyField 22]

Oh my God that's gonna feed his and his followers matrix brain [expletive] so much.

[TomtheBombadil]

Nice

Also wow Twitter (and really the internet) sucks now…I’ve noticed pretty much all mainstream media has crept towards the right in recent years and the Musk/CIA acquisition has really accelerated this on Twitter. I’m not necessarily anti-religion esp compared to say 10-20 years ago but spent like 2 minutes on the site yesterday and - unprompted - got alot of the Jesus

[CubinNY]

I had no idea who Tate was until the Twitter blow up. No words.

[Sammy Sofa]

the Musk/CIA acquisition

I'm bored; please explain how this possibly makes any sense.

I caught a couple LLWS games this year and he was the favorite athlete of so many of these kids

Holy horsefeathers.

I mean 11 year old boys are, generally, dumb horsefeathers, but uh... That's concerning. Good reminder I'm gonna have to be vigilant in a few years once my kids are old enough to consume stuff on the internet on their own.

[squally1313]

Him getting arrested obviously rocks. Probably shouldn’t focus on the pizza box aspect of it though, as that definitely wasn’t the impetus to him getting busted.

[TomtheBombadil]

The crazy part is I *see* why. These kids are coming up in a very safe society that is very, very happy to pin the sins of their fathers onto them. Like imagine being a young man these days and hearing about how men are like these rape bros (meanwhile on the whole: less sex than ever) who refuse to hear women roar or whatever…None of these kids are responsible for unequal pay, 19 century education opportunities, rampant domestic violence, etc but the social hammer came out for them while actual perps continue to leech and thrive…Of course they’ll be attracted to someone showing any kind of empathy (otherwise extinct), wouldn’t be able to recognize much else but that this guy isn’t calling them evil etc

You can’t say I didn’t warn you.

Jesus h Christmas. The social hammer is not coming for 11 year old boys. Stop pre-excusing terrible behavior.

[TomtheBombadil]

^ Case in point…It’s so easy to see why guys like Tate can thrive among the youth when saying anything other than these kids are dumb dangerous idiots is some kind of reach…What do you *expect* to get from these people if they’re stupid evil doing criminals before they’ve done anything?

[jersey cubs fan]

It’s not “anything but”. There’s a wide gulf between saying they are dumb dangerous idiots and that the societal hammer is coming for them.

Just saying young men are:

- way behind academically over the past 10-20+ years
- living increasingly sexless lives
- living increasingly sedentary (by necessity since sitting in front of a screen is learning, work, and leisure now) lives
- not making money

The social hammer isn’t coming, long here

[WrigleyField 22]

The social hammer isn't punishing young men/boys. The only thing happenening is groomers like Tate making them believe it is. You're trying to attribute Tate and his ilk as a natural consequence of some larger societal change and its not.

[TomtheBombadil]

Oh, no way I see this as natural. It’s just another tank job built around preying on the weak through prejudice and fear mongering. At this point it’s all we’re good at

No, that was not a case in point.

No, you're not making any sort of point.

Just stop, now, please. Go sit for a minute and reexamine every moment of your life that led you to this mindset and try to figure out if it's salvageable.
