One of the very few impressive qualities about Andrew Tate is his uncanny ability to unite individuals on both ends of the political, and some would say moral, spectrum. Indeed, you don’t have to be a ‘woke’ left-winger to take umbrage with the misogynist, as proven by controversial conservative author Jordan Peterson.
While being interviewed on Piers Morgan’s TalkTV show, the Canadian tried to distance himself from Tate after California governor Gavin Newsom, in a talk about today’s worrying role models, tarred them both with the same brush. He said (via Newsweek), “I mean, I’m not particularly happy to be grouped with Andrew Tate because I think that there’s some elements about what he does that are quite reprehensible, but that we could certainly talk about that.”
And the psychologist did talk about that with his daughter Mikhaila Peterson in a YouTube video that also took aim at Tate’s followers. Labelling Tate a ‘monster,’ he said: “If you’re naive, and timid, anxious, intimidated, useless, and resentful, there’s going to be a bit of a monster that needs to call to you to say, you know, gird up your loins and get the hell out there in the world. So it’s better to be a monster than a rabbit in some ways, right? Or at least there’s some utility in the more monstrous, predatory path that isn’t in the pathetic rabbit path.”
