Functionally illiterate moron, sex trafficker and rapist insists he's "Too smart to read."
21% of the U.S. is illiterate, with 54% topping out at a 6th grade reading level. Meaning 75% of the U.S. reads at a middle school level, at best... So this clown trying to convince people he's in the 25% of folks able to read above a 6th grade level is legitimately hilarious!
And thus grifting fuck knows that, because that 75% is exactly who he is trying to tap into by appealing to their ignorance.

He certainly knows how to rage bait. We have to collectively learn to ignore this bullshit, and teach young boys the same.
did my part by not upvoting the post 🫡
Rage? Try laughter.
Any response is food for the troll. The only thing that gets them to stop is silence
I disagree. These people are notoriously thin-skinned. Mocking works even better than silence.
If he were 5 years old I'd just smile and nod, but an adult making these claims deserves nothing less than open ridicule.

Stop make stupid people famous. Negative attention is also attention.
Agreed. I will never understand how these people got famous. I do understand that they are manipulative and all that, but still... For manipulative people to be successful, one needs to be manipulated. I think this says more about the manipulated (and society overall) than it does about these manipulative, stupid, pieces of shit.
We will always have unscrupulous pieces of shit. The fact that society is choosing to make these people famous, and "powerful", is dystopian. Absolutely pathetic.

ME AM SMART, NO NEED READ! READ AM FOR BETA MALE!
Who cares
All of his examples of his "intelligence" have nothing to do with brain power:
Driving a supercar.
Fighting (and losing badly).
Fucking hoes and champagne (think he might be fucking his drinks?.. grammar is for idiots apparently).
Going crazy...?
Dude is a true genius, and all the hits to the head have only made him more powerful.

That's a strange way to confess to being illiterate.
I feel so bad for the Onion
Can we stop posting / sharing what that guy does? Why do we keep him relevant?
I need action. I need constant chaos in my life to feel content.
This is the sound of deep, deep, profound, deep insecurity chasing a man down a never-ending alleyway peppered with neon signs that say "Unattractive to Women?", "Easily Bullied By Other Men?", "GAY???"
I hope he does serious prison time for his crimes, because it will be extra enjoyable knowing that it's literally the worst place he could ever find himself. No escaping one's own mind in that place.

An proven moron said something mind numbingly stupid. News at 10...

Dear Andrew. You need to fill your head with stuff cause you're unable to sit in the silence of your own mind since it's shouting what an utter failure you are at being a decent person. You've hurt so many people, and deep down you know that ain't right. It's called cognitive dissonance. I want to hope you can become a whole person someday, but frankly you don't deserve that. Honestly I can't see you as anything other than a drain on society.

Tell me you can't read without telling me you can't read.
Sounds like my manager who legit uses openAI as a fucking search engine.

If you only ever read one book,
Then shut the fuck up.
If you never read any books,
No, seriously. Shut the fuck up.
rage bait for internet points. pass
im pretty sure you dont need to emphasize you are woman hater, your action speaks louder than words.
That would be the same Andrew Tate who made his money getting punched and kicked in the head, right?
I'm sure his brain is doing just fine.
no, this is the Andrew Tate who made his money doing human trafficking and crypto scams. He might have made some startup capital from getting brain damage but his money came from being a piece of shit.
I know you’re sitting there going ‘smart people read’... no. I need action. I need constant chaos in my life to feel content.
Sounds like undiagnosed ADHD ngl

How many times has Andrew Tate been kicked in the head during his career? More than he can count to, I'm guessing.
