    Cowards like Andrew Tate won’t go anywhere near the actual front, they are all about a fake image of being strong while being being pathetic cowardly losers.


    This is a really fun post however, but made me think…

    Killing Tate in combat can be a bad idea, it could easily make him a martyr, a powerful symbol for other cowards to rally behind.

    However, if the last pictures of Tate were somehow really embarrassing to him and his followers…

    On the toilet perhaps, in the middle of the night, being half awake, hair and beard a mess, wearing a way too old t-shirt with large holes and stains.

    That might do it…

      What happened to Charlie Kirk?

      Him being a martyr would be less of an issue than him being an living promoter of his worldview.

      This hand wringing about awful people becoming martyrs is frustrating to read. How many horrible people have become actual martyrs who inspire people to be worse than the followers they had while living? Actually martyrs tend to die doing things that benefit people.

        The issue is still that it would be dying in combat.

        All his supporters could start using the argument that he was a true man, who never backed down from a fight, “he even went to war” would be a common claim.

      If russia plays it smart. They would not send Tate anywhere near actual combat or standard military. Just some PR stunts with him and trying to make him look “badass”.

      If russia doesn’t play it smart then considering it’s russian military and Tate is western. He would get hazed to or near death or maybe executed by some military official.

      If Tate would even survive. Ukrainian troops would find him in fetal position and crying in a ditch

      i heard that, at least couple years back, rich people, well-positioned people, some influencers etc who nevertheless got drafted sometimes get an option to be a drone pilot in bars-kaskad unit. drone pilots are some of high priority targets, and now ukrainian drones reach like, 50km behind the frontline. in general drones can fly thousands of kilometers to worthy target, and targeting tate would be very funny. on the other hand, i’m not sure how would trump or other republicans react to that, he already got him out of romanian prison

        Globally they are the promoters of the sort of ideas he pushes, matched only by american far right. And there is not many places for them to run, which would be acceptable to their fans and wouldent prosecute them.
