I need to get into scamming idiots, that sounds incredibly profitable.
Oh shit, there’s a database of the easily influenced with expendable income?
Time to become a scammer and financially ruin the kind of dumb men who would fall for this?
It would be morally indefensible not to!
I don’t know.
I think alienation is what drove droves of young men to this clown, so perhaps we shouldn’t try and alienate them more by scamming them and try and understand what the appeal of Tate was/is and work to fix that.
I think i read something or maybe listened to a podcast, where they theorized that Tate got his audience around the time when Jordan Peterson left the "guardian of young men" role. I think it kinda stands to reason that young men don't really have decent men as mentors or role models these days.
Sadly many people pony up for these scams out of desperation despite being unable to afford them.
The Daily Dot was provided with approximately 794,000 usernames for what are believed to be the site’s current and former members, as well as the contents of the platform’s 221 public and 395 private chat servers. [...] The Real World claims it currently has over 113,000 active users. If accurate, the site at minimum would generate upwards of $5,650,000 every month.
Jesus, why is this bullshit that large?
Idiots falling for authoritarian charisma is one of the oldest things on this planet.
They said capitalism breeds innovation. They just didn't specify what kind of innovation.
Money laundering.
Oh. My. Fucking. God.
That many people, actually signed up, and gave him money.
That's a lot of fucking Darwin awards.
Exactly my thought... Tate's U a scam, duh obviously... But god damn... that many suckers.
You've witnessed the US election recently, yes? I'm not exactly surprised.
Hi mom I just enrolled in the university of a guy who traffics sex slaves and thinks all women should be one
My mom is maga so she would probably be proud
This fucking guy has an online university? Really?
Doesn’t every grifter have their own griftiversity?
He has a website where you can pay to hear him yell at you.
No he has an "educational" program he calls a university.
I sometimes work for a guy who thinks women shouldn't be allowed to vote. He's genuinely kind, but not at all academic. It is entirely the fault of low-effort internet bullshit like this. It's actually very upsetting to see somebody poisoned by social media in real-time.
It is entirely the fault of low-effort internet bullshit like this.
People like Andrew Tate deserve part of the blame for propagating this kind of message, sure. But your client who thinks women shouldn't be allowed to vote is a bad person, and his moral failing is entirely his own. He doesn't deserve pity because he's uneducated and falling for propaganda. He's a sexist piece of shit who thinks women deserve fewer rights than men. Don't make up excuses for him. He's a grown man with agency over himself. He chose his path.
I guess their security turned out to be as fragile as their masculinity!
The password protecting it all was 12345
A University a.k.a. "Buy this ebook to make money online!" and the contents are "Just resell this Ebook lol".
Wow, that’s a big list of suckers
If I had no morals, damn. Scamming dumb misogynistic men would be such a killer money making opportunity.
Honestly, if you scam them and then donate the money to progressive causes, it's as if you collected taxes.
I wouldn't even call it a scam at that point.
Boot camps for adults that don’t actually want to do any real work along with a get rich quick incel overtone. What a scam.
"incel" is key word here. utter trash.
These hackers have fantastic values, and the effort they put into this made the world a slightly better place. Good on em.
(next on the block: Jordan Peterson's School for Very Logical Manbabies)
For anyone not aware, the entire breach has been published by DDOSecrets and can be torrented by anyone.
For research and journalism purposes, of course.
If everyone on that list was closely monitored from here, probably the end of school shootings.
He had an online university? Was it CHUD-U?
Oohh, where can I find this list? My wife's ex is one of those sad little men who follows and recommends him everywhere
Ha thats pretty funny, last i heard his dopey academy looked like it was using revolts backend code. Which would be a violation of the gpl V3 license aswell.
Ha ha.
"University" is a pretty generous description.
