Greta Thunberg Puts Andrew Tate and His 'Small D*ck Energy' in Their Rightful Place

The moment we see Andrew Tate trending, we automatically know that it's going to be for all the wrong reasons. He's become the "sigma" male prototype these days: a violent misogynistic "influencer" who panders to the lowest of the lowlifes out there.

Toxic kings on TikTok and YouTube love Tate for battling the prevailing "woke agenda" because apparently that is the one true great ill of the world today (not capitalism, the climate crisis, the rise of fascism, or systematic oppression, etc., right?). You'd think a man who's a firm believer in the idea that women are "the property of men" would be banned at this point (he was, on Twitter, before being reinstated, thanks to that billionaire free speech abolitionist guy). Unfortunately, his influence endures around the corners of the internet. He still has about four million followers on Twitter, 4.7 million followers on Instagram, and 760,000+ subscribers on YouTube. Hey, incels need to feel represented, too.

He's at it again, folks. For God knows what reason, Tate recently lashed out at Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, flexing his 33 cars and his "enormous" carbon emissions, of all things. There's a ton of things wrong here (the biggest being the literal cultural phenomenon that is Tate; we'll deal with that in a separate piece), but let's start off with the simplest: going at a kid like that out of nowhere, it seems, is just absurd. You're a grown-ass man, man. Thunberg is a favorite target of the right because she's actually informed and has the influence to match. So yeah, we reckon that's where Tate's coming from (although psycho-analyzing the man will never help his case; he doesn't want to make sense nor does his fans). It just makes sense for them to pick on a kid of her stature.

Secondly, it's champions of the anti-science movement that are the bane of our existence. Tate is one of them. It's 2022 and we still can't fathom the fact that people support these viewpoints. But we guess echo chambers do that to people, especially those who are entitled as hell. Equal parts ploy and anti-climate change propaganda, these sentiments has his fanbase riled up again. Carbon emissions fuck the earth up. This shouldn't be news. Then again, this is just classic shit-stirrer-performative-pseudo-right-winger behavior. What did we really expect? Here we are writing about this, after all. Job done, we suppose.

Anyway, at least Thunberg didn't back down (like the champ she is) this time. In a response that perfectly sums up the kind of man Tate is, she replied: "Yes, please do enlighten me. Email me at [email protected]."

Thunberg is too good for this world, really. We stand with her by saying: small dick energy, indeed. Listen, guys like Tate tend to radicalize men in the worst possible ways, often leading to violence and messed-up world views. That's why it's all the more important for us to put them in their place when we can. They advocate for the "men should be men" type of things, even if that means hating women and anything that sounds the least bit progressive. Insecure straight cis dudes really think they're in the minority in this world. Christ, such miserable, insufferable men.

He's probably not going to shut up after this. Chances are, these responses only fuel the legion of fans Tate and the other right-wing propagandists he stands with (the Shapiros, Joneses, Petersons, and, dare we say, Rogans of the world). Tate has a following for a reason. Thunberg is as smart as she is brave for doing this, knowing that they're going to be coming at her in the next couple of days. Tate's fans will likely just say, "Oh, they're trying to cancel him again." That's where they get their power, it seems. Right-wingers love to cry "free speech" and conspiracies of bias in favor of the "wokes" and the left. It's how they justify their stuff. And fragile men love to rally behind these because, well, it's just easier than having to look at yourself in the mirror. News flash: we're supposed to be biased against shit people and their shitty beliefs. We must always be biased against violence and false information. 

The activist's simple comeback definitely packed a punch (just look at the replies, guys—the worst). We love her for it. The best we can do for now is to challenge the internet's favorite loser. It's hard to ignore him when he's this influential. While we absolutely loathe dudes like these, we can rejoice in the fact that, sometimes, they can get owned in the most glorious of ways. As Thunberg said, they should just get a life.
