Summary

Ooooooooooof! From now on, epic misogynist Andrew Tate will be known as 'that guy who got wrecked by Greta Thunberg on Twitter'. He thought he was being well hard and clever, but suffered the mother of all smackdowns. But this matters - because this underlines the biggest issue of all which is at stake.

Oof, this is quite the epic take down before I come onto that, look question. What is

0:05.6

it about Greta Tumberg, which sets off a particular type of man? It must really great

0:12.5

on, let's be honest, excruciatingly mediocre men, that this 19 year old woman with autism

0:18.5

has achieved far more in her life, in her short life than any of them have or ever will.

0:25.2

And by a large margin, it's not actually a fair comparison, because the net impact

0:28.9

to Greta Tumberg is a positive, whilst the net impact of those who spend their lives

Now what is the crime of Greta Tumberg? What is the crime? It's trying to encourage the

threat as a climate emergency, which is trying to draw everyone's attention to, it's pretty

up indeed. Now, enter Andrew Tate, a former kickboxer with a history of making some pretty

1:32.1

gruesome comments. If you want to just have a random selection, he said depression isn't

1:37.4

real, that's pretty low in the list of how offensive he is. As The New York Times has put

1:41.1

it, he said that women who were raped are partially responsible for the attacks, describing

1:45.3

the detail how he might attack women and criticise people who seek mental health treatment.

1:49.9

Now he's been banned from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Twitter, but as we all
