Self-professed misogynist influencer Andrew Tate believes reading is for people with “slow brains,” according to a recent resurfaced clip of him on X. In the video, Tate is seen bragging that his brain is too advanced for reading and that he’d rather be in constant chaos.

“I’m too smart to read. I know you’re sitting there going ‘smart people read’... no. I need action. I need constant chaos in my life to feel content. I need to be driving a supercar and f—ing fighting, f—ing a bunch of hoes and champagne… going crazy.”

Tell that to the snowflakes here that are oh-so-upset this was even posted.

The only difference between Maga morons and of some liberal snowflakes here is what they find triggering.

I mean one side has literal Nazis, is building detention facilities while sending a poorly militia into cities to arrest and attempt to disappear people without any charges, the other side just wants a half-assed European social democracy (because you know the Democratic party is currently captured and unwilling to make any meaningful change that isn't incremental and trivial to reverse)
