How? Men who are stoic and have a sense of purpose in life are less likely to commit mass shootings and crimes. It’s fricking common sense.



Uh, what? Practicing stoicism doesn't automatically give you a purpose in life. And if you had read the Stoics, you could make the argument that their espoused Stoicism was in fact cowardly, based on the circumstances of the age they lived in.

And I'm really skeptical about the connection here between Stoicism and mass shootings. Violence is part of the human condition. There has never been a philosophical answer to it that is satisfactory on normative terms. If making things up help you sleep, then go for it.

OP is a real winner:

This is beyond sad. These are the types Andrew Tate draws.

Nope. We are talking about Top G and analyzing the positive effects he has on youth

I never said that practicing stoicism gives you a purpose. I said that having a purpose AND practicing stoicism is good. Whether that purpose is religion or career, it helps us focus on our goals. With stoicism, we can block out negative thinking that will hinder us from reaching our goals.

Men who know what they want in life are more likely to be happy and not suffer from depression.

This is the limp wristed liberal’s go to. Everyone on the right is getting grifted, but it never happens to the left. GFY you know it all POS.
I don't claim to be proficient in political pundit discourse, but the grifters I know of are people like Andrew Tate, Alex Jones, the MyPillow guy, Ben Shapiro, Tim Pool, Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, etc. I avoid those like the plague.

Are there liberal grifters that one could point to to so I can avoid them at all costs as well? I already avoid TYT

This is just a lie. The girls came out themselves and said he didn’t force them to do shite. There’s zero evidence of “sex trafficking”. His case is a joke and will be thrown out


Exactly. There’s zero evidence to the allegations, that’s why they’ll probably let him walk

I think the liberal grift plays a little different. It isnt so much in the media, unless you define the whole media a grift I guess.

The liberal way is to start an NGO, get some Dem pol to funnel your org money to solve some problem you and the recent liberal arts grads you got cant solve.

Then bro down with that sweet gov $$$.

Why do people on here hate Andrew Tate? He inspires young men everyday to get off their asses and improve their lives. All of the things he preaches about are things that most users on here would agree with? Forget the hustlers university bullshite, look at his overall message. He’s a good man


I'll answer this as I've watched a bit of him since the last thread you did. I agree with him on shut up and lift, work hard, blah blah. I disagree with him on how he treats women, and seems to flaunt his shite while also preaching a version of stoicism.

100%. Its insecurity parading as stoicism.

Hes good at teaching young men shitty principles.

I dont know why some people need to follow these gurus who are nothing but modern day snake oil salesmen.

Shitty principles? He literally advocates for men to get off their arse and do something productive with their life. LINK

Quote from him in the video: “I think my primary objective is to inspire people to stand up and speak and be unapologetic in what they believe, and to make sure they work hard enough in life and go through enough pain, so they’ve learned enough lessons so that their opinions are based on real life experiences.” @15:37

If he motivates guys to have a purpose in life, then so fricking be it. There are hardly any celebrities/actors who try to preach a positive message to their fans. They all want to do drugs and be degenerate blue voting cucks.
