    Does he think people googling him means he's popular?

    Because to me it implies the exact opposite

      For real though, who the fuck is this nerd and why should I care?

      Nevermind, I don't actually care.

        The only reason to care is that his chest beating misogyny is (Or at least was this summer, idk if it still is) being pushed on vulnerable teenage boys by social media algorithms.

            Yeah I didn't take him seriously until I saw middle school teachers saying that boys were mouthing off to them and saying Tate told them so.

      False they used askjeeves in the 1300s. Google wasn't invented until after Luther discovered the printing press.

    Really wish this dude would just get killed and have his body dissolved in lye. Also really funny when these douchers act like they are in any way comparable to Ghengis Khan -- as horrible as he was, the Mongol empire made meaningful contributions to culture and civilization in those regions beyond a shitty self-help scam and some kickboxing belts from some lower-tier promotions (also historically any half-competent grappler of comparable size would most likely tool this guy up).

      The Khanate of Asia

      vs

      Social Media popularity

      Andrew Tate doesnt have a quarter as many horse archers as he'd need to offer even token resistance. Gotta hand it to Ghengis on this one.

      if he got in a fight with my bf my bf legit could just walk up to him and hug him to death. like zero effort. he isnt nearly big enough to fight a grown man, which is why he picks on small women :shrug-outta-hecks:

        One time a guy at the gym tried to start a fight with me because I "stole his parking spot"

        I was basically going to ignore him, but when he started insulting my partner over her weight, I called him a "pasty white little waste of time"

        Long story short, he tried to sucker punch me, my partner hefted him over her head and threw him into a concrete support like Donkey Kong hucking a barrel

        Was pretty cool

      And while you under no circumstances have to hand it to him, Genghis brought some pretty radical reforms to Mongol society—social mobility was made more merit-based, conquered peoples were allowed to practice their religion and culture in peace (provided they didn't resist subjugation, of course), and some pretty far reaching legal reforms that I'm a bit fuzzy on.

      Probably more bad than good all in all, but I can't think of any good Andrew Tate has done...

        I mean Chingis murdered millions of people in a time where there weren't that many millions of people, but his actual rule post-conquest was supposed to be pretty decent.

      I would pay cash money to see Chingis Khan throw Tate around like a rag doll.

    Chingis Khan; United the Mongolian steppe tribes, conquered Song China, sent his armies all the way to Baghdad, his generals were in the process of subduing Hungary when his armies were recalled for his funeral. His heirs remained the rulers of numerous regions across the Eurasian continent for hundreds of years.

    Tate: Fought like one MMA match. Fled the US due to outstanding sexual assault charges.

    genghis khan hundreds of children shit is completely conjectural and not really supported by the sources. its mostly a fun-fact backtracking a wide lineage and conflating that with the man individually.

    like a stupid proportion of euros are technically descended from distant royals with just a few children just as a function of it being a long time ago.

    Genghis has that too but more importantly just his official inheriting children's dynasties controlled a huge part of the planet for centuries. the last Chinngissid ruler was put down in fucking 1757. Genghis didnt have to have hundreds of kids for his family tree and genetic footprint to be massive.

    and thats not even bringing in infant mortality its getting logistically ridiculous to imagine how many pregnancies he'd have to cause for that to result in hundreds of children

    e: also its asiatic horde racist sterotyping no-one accuses equally violent polygamist euros like Alexander of the same
