So the secret to deprogramming a rapist’s online cult members is just to have really good intentions. Got it.

I think I’m just going to continue ridiculing Tate. If that hurts his believers’ feelings and they feel a bit ridiculous, well, I guess I’ll have to live with myself.

  1. Yes, the secret to deprogramming a rapist’s cult is definitely 100% to have good intentions for those lonely men who fall prey to the cult.

  2. Yes, keep ridiculing Tate because he is ridiculous and hostile. But if you are generally ridiculing lonely people for their desperation and their failure to find a good response to their misery… then you are exactly the same as Tate.

You know a ton of Tate’s followers are children, right? There are a fuckload of societal issues beyond just “loneliness” in play here.

The meme is explicitly about lonely men falling prey to brainwashing. That’s what we’ve been talking about this whole time.

If you actually care about diminishing the power of Tate’s ugliness, you would offer something other than more ugliness to those lonely people.
