I'm not the genius chess grandmaster that Tate is, but somehow I have managed to avoid the inside of every single Romanian prison.

Also, I've never trafficked even one person. Seems like a pretty beta male move on his part.

I have managed to avoid the inside of every single Romanian prison.

The secret is to avoid carbs. Romanian pizza is what took Tate down.

I somehow forgot that him getting pissy at the existence of Greta Thunberg is what gave Romanian cops the data they needed to arrest him.

[-] aniki@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

I wonder how much he seethes at night knowing this fact.

Well, TIL. I liked it better when it was a meme and not a serious police investigation that took him down, but it makes sense.

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I suspect the reason it spread so easily was that people wanted to believe.

Downside: Considered a monster by sane people worldwide

Upside: Can order shaorma via glovo every day, even in house arrest

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

What, you mean you didn't have a successful YouTube channel that advocated for rape and human trafficking and then moved to Romania because you said it made facilitating rape and human trafficking easier and so you were never arrested in Romania for rape and human trafficking?!

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

This made me smirk.

I am the genius chess grandmaster that Tate is!

But not that Tate...

who is charged with human trafficking and rape

And who is a darling of the right despite them knowing that. Sounds familiar, come to think of it...

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 47 points 2 years ago

Just needs some tax fraud and he's fit to run for office as a Republican

[-] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

Isn't that one of the reasons he moved to Romania in the first place?

The spokespeople for the right are full of individuals like this. It's insane they feel the need to invent elaborate conspiracy theories about others when these people are right in front of their faces.

[-] nulluser@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago
[-] zurohki@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

They need the other side to also be terrible to maintain the 'both sides are the same' narrative. It's why they're desperate to impeach Biden for something.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

They all claim that he hasn't been convicted yet, so he isn't a rapist.

Just have to ignore the part where Taters said he/him fled to Romania because the human trafficking laws are more lax.

Considering that he explicitly said that he moved to Romania because he felt he could operate with impunity there, it's good they're keeping him restricted.

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 46 points 2 years ago

Oh, he's trying to flee Romania the same way he fled the UK to escape accusations of domestic violence and sexual aggression?

Fuck him and his brother. I hope they both rot for life in the worst Romanian prison they can find and that they lose everything. They fucking deserve it for all they've done to humanity.

[-] Oiconomia@feddit.de 36 points 2 years ago

Publicly bragging that the Romanian justice system is corrupt and won't detain him probably didn't help.

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Quite the contrary, I think it helped the rest of us a lot, by keeping that piece of shit detained.

[-] Oiconomia@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago

Not saying it is a bad thing. It is also very fortunate that Romania needs to show that they have a robust judical system to get into the Schengen agreement. I hope for society, that Romania now really needs to show that they can keep the EU safe from non-EU criminals like Tate.

[-] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago
[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

I saw him being interviewed about the middle east and Israel, like why the fuck are outfits like the BBC interviewing this rapist piece of shit about anything?

I was cool with not seeing news about this chud after I left reddit

[-] SkippingRelax@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I don't understand why people keep complaining about journalists doing their job. Every time there is an article about musk, someone is bitching that they can't stand him anymore and op should stop posting about it.

Now Tate has had a major ruling against him. I read the Guardian most days and I haven't seen an article about him in weeks, I admit I might have missed one.

You know you can put your phone down, or go read arstechnica or Tom's hardware if you are not interested in the news?

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 years ago

Oh no! Anyway.

[-] iegod@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

Womp womp fuck this piece of trash.

[-] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

He's now contained in an Eastern European country. Now if only he could be contained within a prison.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago
[-] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

There was never a typo in my comment.

[-] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

Gatekeep, gaslight, girlboss

[-] Iapar@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago

Must be weird for him that someone tries to fuck him voluntarily.

Good for him! He will soon be surrounded only by other dominant males. No beta losers nor stupid women in Romanian jails.

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

He's such a poser.

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Any hope of an actual criminal trial in the near future? Granted, any ruling against him is a plus, but let’s get on with it and put this shitstain in prison where he belongs.

[-] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I like this superpositional moment for him. I suspect his insecurities made him want to be caught, and that there is some relief that will come, even if he sent to jail.

[-] Clbull@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Standard ~~Tate~~ Society W.

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I am okay with this.

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I've literally never heard of this guy outside of Reddit (haven't been back since they killed RIF) and here. These articles do more to make him relevant than the other way around like it should be.

[-] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This is the first I’ve seen about him on Reddit or here, but he’s all over TikTok, YouTube, talked about among high schoolers and anywhere incels gather.

'...(he) claimed that prosecutors have no evidence against him and that there is a political conspiracy to silence him. He was previously banned from various prominent social media...'

Am I the only one here old enough to realize 12 years ago this argumentation chain would have been hilarious?

Not that I support human trafficking, but damn news writers nowadays are at the very best lazy as shit.

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 years ago

Whom are you criticizing? News writers? Tate? What argument is occurring?
