self important folk on Twitter.
Answered your own question there, entitled arrogance is a hell of a drug.
I also suspect that for some of them, getting into a online spat with Greta is a weird 'badge of honor' and their fans are too bone-headed to see that she's wiped the floor with them as per usual.
Why do these middleaged men keep taking her on?
Because they're middle-aged men who can't cope with the concept of a young woman with a brain. At her age she should be concentrating on saving the planet by looking pretty so that she can attract a man and start squeezing out babies.
That and I suppose there's the whole "no publicity is bad publicity..." angle. I'd never heard of the bloke before this thread and likely never would have if he hadn't goaded GT into speculating about his penis. In his head that's probably a victory, plenty of people thrive on fame through infamy. Just another loveable rogue who's telling it like it is, saying what everyone else is thinking. Something something triggered woke libtard snowflakes something.

Yep, no idea who he was...
TBH it’s only a months takings on the Hustler academy.
I’m surprised he doesn’t give a few lambos away as a monthly benefit of being in the academy.
One thing that puzzles me about this. Thunberg has burned loads of self important folk on Twitter. Why do these middleaged men keep taking her on? Hubris? she just effortlessly burns them to the ground.
You say that, but your experience is all from inside your own echo chamber.
A few clicks through some other comments and suddenly the feed is just hundreds/thousands of people who think using Gretta's "How very dare you!" catchphrase as a comeback won the day. It's really not as clear cut either side would like to see it (or the view they were presented with). Bet you a penny to a pound he has more followers now than he did a fortnight ago.

Which to outsiders always seems like a while lot of hot air.
Re catchphrase, nice they're both fans of Catherine Tate!
Surely it was the small penis comment that made him the most upset
Judging by the frothing rage of his fanbase, it very much hit home

& led to his rather tragic video in reply
Whether that actually directly led to his arrest I have no idea, but the Romanian authorities do not seem to be treating him lightly
A spectacular humiliation at the hands of exactly the kind of young woman Tate has built a career on denigrating
I think in the olden days it was called tit for tat.
Really?
Id say this was far more than that

What a scumbag

Teenager being used as a media pawn by the global elite to drive their money making carbon credit & trading scheme emergency climate net zero agenda, versus a very opinionated guy who occasionally makes some perfectly valid points against the said global elite, but who is also probably a bit of a tw*t shocker! Best to ignore.
Is it me, or does he look very like Tom Allen?
but who is also probably a bit of a tw*t shocker!
rape, kidnap & people trafficking only makes him a bit of a ****?!?

Our new learned friend has a range of interesting opinions.

Has he been tried and convicted of these yet?
Interesting how his accent has changed over time - perhaps the dodgy yank accent appeals more globally?
The guy is a scumbag.
Oh I do love it when the right wing nut jobs come here to play.
Has he been tried and convicted of these yet?
walks like a duck.....
he runs a webcam porn business, teaches a 'how to pimp hoes' class, fled to rommania to escape scrutiny after police bungling (took 4 years to refer case to CPS) previous rape case, and said he did so because he thought the authorities wouldnt chase him for historic rape allegations, was filmed beating his ex with a belt.....
yet you post some absolutely hilarious brain dead conspiracy theories about Thunberg?
^^ Blimey, hadn't he got a long neck!?
Is it trying to compensate for, well, you know?
walks like a duck…..
Ahh yep, guilty as charged!
Ahh yep, guilty as charged!
So you're happy with him beating up women (on video, so literally 100% guilty) & misogynistic views?
Says a lot about you.
In case you missed MCTDs post kt360 joined the quite recently. Make of that what you will.
Not supporting anyone here, especially not AT.
But the video of him beating up a women - there is also a video of them both "play fighting" after the first video ended- it may have been a role play game....it might not have been and the second video may be fake or she may have been forced to do it, but the other video does tend to make it look consensual. This is in one of the previous links above, in one of the mini commentaries about him on page 5)
He is still a horrible vile person though. I just want it to be known that I think he probably has done what he has been charged with (and more).

No it doesn't. I simply pointed out here in the West it might be unwise calling someone a rapist until they have been convicted in a court of law. Innocent until proven guilty. What is so controversial about that?
People can be portrayed as the media wishes but you only have to look at the BBC and Cliff Richard saga to realise that you can't necessarily trust what gets reported online. Or what doesn't get reported and swept under the carpet for many years as in the awful case of Jimmy Saville. Surely you are old enough to know this fairly basic stuff, right?
Andrew Tate seems to be representing himself.
He's not painting a very flattering picture though.

No, you didn't.
No, you didn’t.
Ahhh, I give up. Clearly you know what I meant more than I actually do. FFS!
I know precisely what I read in your first post on this thread. That's all I know. What you wrote. The post which glosses over the crimes Tate is accused of, and characterises Thunberg as being part of a global elite conspiracy involving carbon credits.
If you want help remembering, it was this:

A true hustler understands that young women can't possibly have self-agency, and are just there to be controlled by men.
Yep. Card marked.
Looks like kt360's mum has given him his phone back, but because he's not allowed to play Fortnite until after tea he's come here to educate us.
Nah, don't blame it on the yoof. Most of them are sad angry middle aged men. Very much like the rest of us, just a bit more warped!
Nice bait and switch though – join, post about ebikes then into the meat and drink.
e-bikes should have been a red flag!
Their patience is getting shorter and shorter, in the past it's taken weeks or months before finally unleashing. Some even might have created sleeper accounts from ages back to reactivate, but I suppose their store of them must have run out.
This one's gone from first post to full on *** * sweary ***** abuse in 2 days, which has to be a record.
Teenager being used as a media pawn by the global elite to drive their...
Are you referring to Greta and are you making exactly the same mistake? I really don't think she is a media pawn
Don’t ban them. It’s fun having a conspiracy theorist amongst us.
That's what they want you to think.

Nah, it's likely just one sad angry middle aged man who's on his twelvetieth ban and lacks the self-awareness to work out why.
Don’t ban them. It’s fun having a conspiracy theorist amongst us.
It's fun until it becomes dangerous.

...or merely tedious.
Well, there's that too.
It's the "open mind" vs "open sewer" argument, isn't it. I'm all for hearing an alternative point of view, this is how we learn things; but that probably shouldn't extent to providing a soapbox for lunatics.
There's an irony, isn't there, that conspiracy theorists like to wax on about pharma or governments or chemtrails or vaccines or what have you, yelling "wake up, sheeple!", whilst blindly absorbing whatever random crap is next funnelled into their brains.
To be fair I think that most serious conspiracy theorists feel that they have come to their conclusions by their own tireless "research".
It takes quite a bit of effort, and many hours of painstaking research, to come up with complex convoluted conspiracy theories which all very cleverly and conveniently link up, as they invariably do.
As long as the conspiracy theories aren't racist I don't see a problem with them being expressed on here, if it is done in a civilized manner. It gives an opportunity for the theorist to be challenged - often they spend little time in environments that allow that to happen.
It is a widespread and growing issue which shouldn't be ignored imo. The more that is known about conspiracy theories the better they can be nipped in the bud.
Plus of course, as Alexei Sayle pointed out recently, not all conspiracy theories are false, real conspiracies, including political ones, do actually occur. Hence the word "gate" after almost every political scandal these days. So always having a totally closed mind isn't particularly helpful.

"Vaccines make you sicker than contracting potentially fatal illnesses?"
Seems harmless.
not all conspiracy theories are false
Of course. But the few that are true do not legitimise the majority that are flights of fancy.
We owe it to ourselves to consider alternative ideas. This is how science works, someone going "well, are you sure about that?" But by turns we should be challenging people who watched a YouTube video once and then concluded that they're better informed than half the planet.
There are some truly horrible conspiracy theories which are genuinely true, we don't need to make this shit up. The CIA's MKUltra programme for instance. But to extrapolate that into "so they're all out to get us" is braindead, it's just rejecting one set of bastards in order to listen to another set of bastards.
A closed mind isn't helpful, but as I alluded to earlier, an open one needs a filter or any old shit falls into it.

The mistake here is the same as brexit, it's heart vs head and head will always lose because heart doesn't care for your logic.
How do you counter the theory that, say, the royal family are all lizards?
1) And in-depth DNA sampling study to disprove Big Lizard?
2) "Well, you're clearly a ****ing idiot"?
3) Kicking it back over the fence, "prove it."
4) Something else?
I'm going with 3) personally. If they can back it up then I'm listening. If they're making random claims without further evidence then that can be dismissed as easily. The answer to "the Earth is flat." is "no it isn't."
I learned this one in the brexit discussions. The answer to "immigrants are..." and a whole smorgasbord of other wild claims is simply "no they aren't." There's little point in expending any further effort in trying to debunk myths because, as you yourself know Ernie because you're a master at this, if it's a successful argument then they'll just ignore it and change the subject.
I’d rather have the idiots in plain sight than mumbling between themselves in a corner. Their opinions won’t gain any traction here and you can ignore them easily enough. Plus entertainment and poking them with a stick is fun!
