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.”

      He upsets people which facebook and most other social media designers view as an important way to keep users engaged.

    He’s a media producer, and he ain’t producing books. Of course he’s going to tell his audience books don’t matter.

      Make friends with your IT guy, devise a plan to block the correct web domains for the 2 hours ahead of any company meeting to let that problem sort itself out.

    If you only ever read one book,

    Then shut the fuck up.

    If you never read any books,

    No, seriously. Shut the fuck up.

      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)

    Projection as usual with this putz. Books remind him of how slowly his brain works, so he assumes that is everyone’s experience with them.

      Isn’t this kind of thing the point of the sub? Looks like an onion headline, but it’s real.

      That said - i do get it’s a bit depressing and probably doesn’t pass the vibe test.

      With all the whining about this post you’d think it was a Bad Bunny post in a Maga sub.

      Most people think this is hilarious.

    Hey fucknut, the Russian Infantry is looking for volunteers for frontline duty. Don’t worry, the European NATO members will provide plenty of tungsten for the action you seek.
