   You can criticize Andrew Tate and the hive mind surrounding him, but the reality is that he's the consequence of neoliberal economic policies that crushed unions, and other solidarity movements, whilst pushing a narrative of individual responsibility.

     @aral @inquiline @ErikUden Neoliberalism is consequence of the cult of the individualism, a selfish faith of the "mefirst", the contrary of what living in society means giving exclusively monetary value to everything and uses the same tools as any other belief system like religions and hides behind them. They even created their own mythology like trickle down, self regulation and the invisible hand. It's a way of the people in power to control the peasants like every religion.
