So, are you Team Tate or Team Thunberg? Do you side with the muscled misogynist who has convinced tragic TikTok incels that he’s a ‘real man’? Or with the pint-sized prophetess of doom famous for scaring the world witless about the coming climate apocalypse?
I say neither. I can’t be the only person who finds both of them annoying. The world will be a better place in 2023 if we hear less from woman-hating Tate and future-fearing Greta and their clashing armies of wide-eyed followers.
Dogmatic devotion to a leader is never a good idea. Which is why the Tate mob and the Thunberg mob unnerve me equally
This is the news that Andrew Tate, a bald pick-up artist, has had a Twitter run-in with Greta Thunberg, a Swedish doom-monger. What a Christmas gift for the Very Online! This was the Rumble in the Jungle for social-media saddos, the clash of giants they’ll be gabbing about for years.
