Andrew Tate Has Been Released From Jail And It’s About Damn Time
And a lesson in mob psychology
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate have finally been released after a 3 month stint in jail. The two brothers will be under house arrest until April 29th, when they will presumably be set completely free.
And well, of course they’ve been released. It was an absolute injustice that they were ever in prison to begin with. Seriously, imagine getting sent to jail for 3 months despite the courts having no evidence that you actually committed any crimes.
If you hate Andrew Tate, you probably aren’t letting what I just said land. Think about it. He was in prison in 3 months. Despite no evidence of any crimes.
I’ll just say that one more time. Just to make it extra clear. He was in prison for 3 months with ZERO evidence against him.
But to some people, evidence isn’t important. And to some people, allegations and truth are the same thing.
When I see this kind of human-behaviour, it helps me to understand how entire villages used to get together to burn witches. It helps me to understand Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
There are simply a lot of people out there who have no self-awareness of their own biases. A lot of people who aren’t capable of thinking rationally or critically. And a lot of people who care more about the collective opinion of the crowd than they do of truth.
The mainstream media told them he was a sex trafficker, and they believed it unquestioningly.
They may have had negative interactions with men similar to Tate in the past. Or they may have a negative view about men in general. So they allow their biases to cloud their judgement. They want him to be guilty of sex trafficking, and they confuse their own emotions with reality.
I wonder how long it will be before the label of “sex trafficker” is finally dropped. 6 months? 1 year? 2 years? Never?
Somehow, I suspect that these people, as well as the mainstream media, will continue to apply this label to him for many years to come. Despite no proof of it being true.
