The self-proclaimed King of Toxic Masculinity, who converted to Islam in 2022, had previously claimed to have funded a number of charitable projects, from establishing a dog shelter in Romania to rebuilding an orphanage, but this was a whole new level of giving. “I donate $25 million a year to feeding children in war-torn countries, especially in the Islamic world, because that’s where war is,” he explained in a video posted to TatePledge.com, which compiles evidence of his alleged good works. “I’m going to be starting a foundation, the Tate Foundation, which is going to be dedicated to charitable acts. I will be spending millions and millions of dollars on charitable acts for the rest of my human life. God has blessed me with fantastic wealth. It’s more money than I will ever personally need.”
In case viewers didn’t get the message, the video then displayed a statement: “This is how the most famous man on earth exerts his influence. Despite all the attacks from his fiercest critics, he is the only one actively trying to change the world for the better.” So, nine months on, how is he doing?
As of yesterday, according to Tate’s website, he and his brother Tristan have donated “$12m+” in “14+” countries in collaboration with “20+” non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and changed the lives of “1,165,340+” people. The site carries details of 43 of the projects they have donated to, the most recent being on December 18, when they helped to provide winter clothes for Yemeni children. Other programmes include the installation of water pumps in African villages, the provision of school meals at orphanages in Somalia, and the handing out of clothes and food parcels in Syria, Gaza and Yemen. Some of these are also supported financially by the War Room, Tate’s online network that charges $8,000 to join.

Never liked the bloke, but would prefer if he had the fair application of law. He comes across as the sort of smug cunt I would want nowhere near my female relatives.
But!

It was years ago on here that somebody told me about Alex Jones and his mental gay frogs rant. I had to go and find the clip. It bemused me immensely, but intrigued me as well and I watched a fair bit of his content. He's also a lunatic, but very interesting and sometimes strangely prescient.

My son's at a boys school. I speak to him about who Tate appeals to. He says he has broad appeal across most types.. Black kids, nerds, even posh kids. All look up to him.
There lots of push back from liberal middle-class parents which is adding to his appeal.
Told my son I think Tate is an ignorant dick and his attitude towards women is not just politically incorrect but very rapey. He sort of agrees. I don't push back more than that as I don't want to make him a taboo. I think they will grow out of it.
