Andrew Tate's Recent Interview

2 posts in this topic

Andrew Tate recently got arrested, but he recorded a podcast soon before. I watched the whole podcast.
 

This podcast is very interesting for a couple of reasons.

1) You learn about deception mechanisms

2) You learn how a narcissist/egomaniac makes sense of reality and convinces people

3) Being corrupt exposes you to corruption? (more about this later)

4) It's honestly very entertaining

TLDR of the podcast (Much of this could be lies; it is told from Tate's perspective):
Andrew Tate explains the full timeline from his rise to fame to the present. He frames himself as initially gaining a niche following from saying whatever he wants on social media. Then, he gets the idea to start a non-traditional school that teaches people how to make money. He gets subscribers and soon gets an offer for 50 million, which he describes as similar to Hollywood contracts that limit what famous people can say. He declines, ruffling feathers with powerful people, especially the British state. A woman falsely accuses him of human trafficking. Then he gets into more and more legal trouble, which he believes is contrived by the British in collaboration with the corrupt Romanian legal system, to shut him down because he is "capable of starting a revolution." He spends months in prison, developing PTSD and ruining his mental health. Tate tells an elaborate thriller movie-like story involving multiple break-ins to his house, framing himself as some kind of real-life John Wick.

My Take

Tate is obviously twisting the story to his benefit, and who knows how much of what he says is lies. It wouldn't be surprising if most of it is given he is a clear egomaniac/narcissist. 
However, it seems plausible that the British intelligence was after him. Also, the extreme corruption of the Romanian legal system is obvious, and he must have suffered some of it. Of course, Tate positioned himself in Romania to benefit from corruption, so it's fitting that he would become its target.
It's an interesting case study in self-deception that Tate genuinely believes he is in the right and that he is some kind of hero. He is also very convincing, since he is admittedly a highly charismatic speaker and storyteller. Con artists make your animal brain want to get on their side.

What do you think?

I get the analysing of his psychology part.

But i mean the guy literally bragged about being a sex trafficker as part of his Hustler's University sales copy. The dude is evil.


There is no failure, only feedback

One small step at a time. No one climbs a mountain in one go.
