This Could Destroy Society As We Know It

In a twisted, sick way, Andrew Tate is kind of giving good advice, which is what makes his take so alluring because he is appealing to a certain truth. Okay, so you may have seen the other video we posted where I was speaking about the Coldplay scandal. What do you call the the Jumbotron kiss cam scandal with the astronomer CEO? All right, we spoke about that. We're moving on. But now here's sort of like a related issue that came from that sort of a Twitter war between and I'll mention the names. These are public figures. So, uh, Andrew Tate and Matt Walsh. Okay. So, I'm not going to pull up tweets and read them and I don't even think that's productive. Let let me just summarize. So, Andrew Tate, who I'll be very transparent in my regard for his position on this issue. I'm not going to make a general statement about my judgment of his character. I'll just keep it very very specific. What he's saying is so so so destructive. So destructive. And I'll elaborate. But he basically says, "Well, there you go. An example of a guy who's going to lose half of his fortune for what?" Because, you know, he wanted to have a relationship with somebody who's not his wife. and this is why men should be polygamous and that's natural and they always were and okay and Matt Walsh comes back and I'll be transparent about my feeling about his take on this and again I'm not trying to tell you how I think about Matt Walsh in general I've never met him actually so I try not to have an opinion about him or about anyone I haven't met but I'll just say on this issue he comes back very very strongly in favor of monogamy traditional marriage of a man and a woman. And there's a whole back and forth which ensues which, as I said, I'm not going to get into. Um, here here's what I want to tell you. In a twisted, sick way, Andrew Tate is kind of giving good advice, which is which is what makes his take so alluring because he is appealing to a certain truth. And that is that in the short term, if a man wants to have a better life, of course he wouldn't commit himself to marriage or to anything that would limit him or tie him down. In the short term, why would you do that to yourself? Especially in our day and age with the the laws being as they are and the risks, the real risks of divorce and the way that it affects men financially. So in the short term, Andrew Tate is actually appealing to this fear, this legitimate fear actually, and saying, "Man, don't do this to yourselves." But here's the thing. It is the most selfish, most shortsighted, most hateful advice because if everyone were to follow that or even a substantial segment of the population were to follow that, it would undo society. Now, he's aware of that flaw in his argument and and I noticed in his back and forth with with Matt Walsh, he tries to argue, "No, this is traditionally the way that it was always been in strong societies are always based on male polygamy." Great. You know, you can make such an argument, but the reality is in today's day and age, look at what the facts on the ground are. Taking into account all of the dangers and the risks and the and and I mentioned I'm acknowledging that the laws, the divorce laws um are problematic. I acknowledge that fully. But look at who is good for society, for society, for for the future, and who is part of the problem. If you're going to encourage young men to not get married, um you know, there's two paths in the not getting married. One is you're not going to get married and be a monk. Very few people are able to do that voluntarily. And then there's people who do it involuntarily, known as incelss. But he's saying Andrew Tate is actually saying don't get married but um have many relationships as many as you can um and have many children out of wedlock. Okay, let's be serious here. Let's be serious here. And this is the first thing I would say to Andrew Tate. He's the one who bemmon the low spiritual state or moral state of of I mean, he he mostly puts the the onus on women and says that their deteriorated state, that feminism has eroded their uh integrity when it comes to commitment to marriage and the and the like. Um, I don't want to sound like I'm invoking real trit tropes, but you know, you want to talk about daddy issues, right? The best way if you wanted to create broken women who are not going to be able to be successful wives and mothers, the best way to do that is to make a lot of babies and not raise them. And I don't care if you tell me you're financially responsible for them. I'm talking about in the same home dayto day seeing that with seeing them playing with them doing homework with them combing their hair when they come home and they're sad being the one that they that they can come to and they can cry to and if you're not doing that you're creating broken women and and and that's exacerbating the very problem that you're supposedly decrying. So I get it. He's saying, "Well, the system's so messed up. I'm just, you know, it's every man for himself." And quite literally, every man for himself. Um, you know, and just do the best you can for yourself. It's such a cynical approach, such a selfish approach, uh, is basically saying the system is broken, so I'm going to exploit it in a way that will make it even more broken. Whereas what Matt Walsh is saying is, and I don't know if he's used these exact words. I don't know if he used the word uh sacrifice or self-sacrifice, but that's essentially what his argument is. And it's a noble argument. And it's a ultimately it's an argument that's based on faith because the human organism was endowed by its creator with a very robust uh survival mechanism. So there we we will generally not sacrifice ourselves. We we protect ourselves. We're we're we're built for self-preservation. And in order to to sacrifice yourself, you have to believe in something greater than yourself. Whether that's God or even just an an idea of duty to to society, to country, um some vague notion of future humanity, but something bigger than just me. And so that's Matt Walsh's argument essentially is that perhaps marriage is a sacrifice. Like everything's an opportunity cost, right? Everything is you give up this in order to get that. So you know if you're going to appeal to people's lowest most base animistic well again I'll use the term survival mechanism. Then you take the Andrew Tate approach and tell men don't do it. Don't do it. Don't sacrifice yourself. But if you're going to be noble and if you actually believe in God, I think Andrew Tate purports to be a Muslim. Not he purports to to believe in God, but if you actually believe in God, and you actually believe that we're on a mission that's greater than ourselves, then you would take Matt Walsh's approach, which is, you know, marriage may bring some type of satisfaction. It may in some cases give you a better life, but that that's not even the point. Even if it doesn't, I'll I'll say it. Matt Walsh isn't saying it, but I I'll say it. Even if marriage would give you a worse life, it's the right thing to do because we're not here for ourselves. We're not here for ourselves. I'll say it again. We're not here for ourselves. We are here for something greater. We are here for self-sacrifice, for service. And when and what one of the great ways that we put ourselves aside and we serve a greater good is by building families, intact families with children who are emotionally secure who will be able to grow up and build more families. That is the future of humanity. So, anyone who cares about humanity, anyone who cares about the the the future of this planet, anyone who sees that we're here for a reason, that we're not just here by accident and and and and we we're just here to try to squeeze as much personal satisfaction out of life at this moment as we possibly can because we're here today and then we we die tomorrow. If you actually believe that there's purpose to our humanity, to our embodiment as souls here in the physical world, uh, on the physical plane, then yes, the selfless, altruistic, self-sacrificing move is to commit to marriage and to build a family and to not worry about how that affects you as an individual. idual, but to be driven by what that does for humanity as a whole and for God's plan as a whole. It's so obvious to anyone who actually can get out of their own head and think somewhat selflessly, somewhat altruistically.
