![[CW: misogyny CW: racism] Andrew Tate is starting a political party and the manifesto is genuinely fucking unhinged](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/23eea102-be78-4d40-8fba-16d4a4009f65.png){kind=link}
its full of extremely janky ai art and legitimately impossible shit that relies on complete political illitaracy from the entire electorate. link to the pdf.

TLDR of some of his insane points:
this is awesome. so perfectly, deliciously incoherent, unenforceable, vile, stupid and nonsensical you can just feel the angry seething
Right? It comes of like early 2000's spam. All it needs is flashing magenta/cyan stars and promises of making my dick bigger.
It has the feeling of an almost-due assignment done last minute where the result is just a raw stream of emotional thought onto the document without any actual thought put in to it whatsoever.
Like you can tell he was angry at the BBC for not following his narratives, and the first thought that came to his mind was "X is free speech" and he just slapped that on there because it made him feel good.
that's really the modern version of "only landowners can vote".
I don't think it's necessarily comparable, since that in no way implies monetary value would be used to gauge votes. (remember, "blockchain" and "crypto" are different things)
I think he just saw the intrinsic capability of blockchains to record and verify data, couldn't see how a normal database run by the government you're voting for would provide the same functionality and security in that context, and just ended up using it as a buzzword for "more secure" or something.
Kind of like how he also wanted a national Bitcoin reserve. He doesn't want that because he understands the underlying economic function of inflation, national debt, etc, he just wants that because it sounds good to him on the surface. ("inflation bad, bitcoin = no inflation, therefore holding bitcoin = no inflation")
Imagine having an existance where this sounds like a world you want to build.
I assume this person to be just deeply broken, because this is so far beyond any dystopia anyone has ever written and then there lives an actual human being who would want this.
I think Tate should be studied, as some sort of horror of pathriarchy personified (and Musk, Peterson and all these types). These are like the most violent fantazies of a very immature mind, not that I necessary think immature is a good word for it, because kids are far more ok than these people.
So basically, this combines into:
Privatize the police via public(?) schools that (mandatorily?) teach children martial arts, and that entrepeneurship basically boils down to 'start a business the government will subsidize' when you don't actually have any real starting capital.
... Its like a very stupid sequel to Fight Club where, somehow, Tyler Durden becomes the President/Prime Minister, forgets about destroying capitalism and consumerism, and instead, uses the state to basically start a franchise of fight clubs that 'go legit'.
...Except he also wants to have 25,000 public police officers added to London too, I guess?
He can't even keep his own narrative straight within the same minuscule context.
After deporting all the immigrants, he still has a pile of "laws" that deal with immigrants that will still be around, and also non-citizens who will also still be around.
I think he legitimately just used the completely wrong wording, (because of course he did) but the interpretation I got from the actual raw text was that he was differentiating between native-born citizens, and people who applied to become citizens, but didn't come in through other immigration/visa processes.
So essentially, implying that you're only a "true" British person if your parents were British, and you were born in Britain. So even if you, for instance, applied for citizenship, waited years, got it, moved there, got a job, bought a house, etc, then if you, say, shoplift, you get deported almost instantly, but if you were born in Britain, you'd just get the usual legal treatment.
At least, that's what I assumed he meant based on the other context.
Let's be real, the test is entirely based on
and people whose family have been living in TERF island for centuries will be kicked out while white Americans who moved there last week won't be touched.
Two generations back of deportations? That's... A lot. I'm not entirely sure there would be a huge amount of Britain left.
I'd get deported even though only one parent would be an immigrant (while the other half of my family has a long history of being in the British navy >.> ). Not that I live in the UK anymore, and if Tate ever got elected the society we'd live in would be both very different and one I wouldn't want to live in.
Well, he's not exactly too specific, I have no clue if it's 2 generations or just the most recent one, or if he meant something completely different altogether. It is, after all, essentially just an incoherent manifesto probably typed up in a few hours to make him feel good about his supposed impact on the world.
I meant like... So many people have at least one non-UK-born parent, requiring at least two generations of natural-born-citizenship for someone to stay. Sorry for poor wording. (also he wasn't born in the UK I think?).
Yeah, it does vibe with getting blackout drunk and posting to facebook.
