Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Oh shit, there’s a database of the easily influenced with expendable income?
Time to become a scammer and financially ruin the kind of dumb men who would fall for this?
It would be morally indefensible not to!
I don’t know.
I think alienation is what drove droves of young men to this clown, so perhaps we shouldn’t try and alienate them more by scamming them and try and understand what the appeal of Tate was/is and work to fix that.
I think i read something or maybe listened to a podcast, where they theorized that Tate got his audience around the time when Jordan Peterson left the "guardian of young men" role. I think it kinda stands to reason that young men don't really have decent men as mentors or role models these days.
Sadly many people pony up for these scams out of desperation despite being unable to afford them.
The Daily Dot was provided with approximately 794,000 usernames for what are believed to be the site’s current and former members, as well as the contents of the platform’s 221 public and 395 private chat servers. [...] The Real World claims it currently has over 113,000 active users. If accurate, the site at minimum would generate upwards of $5,650,000 every month.
Jesus, why is this bullshit that large?
Idiots falling for authoritarian charisma is one of the oldest things on this planet.
They said capitalism breeds innovation. They just didn't specify what kind of innovation.
Money laundering.
Oh. My. Fucking. God.
That many people, actually signed up, and gave him money.
That's a lot of fucking Darwin awards.
Exactly my thought... Tate's U a scam, duh obviously... But god damn... that many suckers.
You've witnessed the US election recently, yes? I'm not exactly surprised.
Darwin awards are just for dying, though?
Wonder what percentage of them are barely voter-age teens who voted for Trump. These idiots are gifting their money to these grifters, and then turn around to complain that they don't have any money because >insert minority<.
Hi mom I just enrolled in the university of a guy who traffics sex slaves and thinks all women should be one
My mom is maga so she would probably be proud
I sometimes work for a guy who thinks women shouldn't be allowed to vote. He's genuinely kind, but not at all academic. It is entirely the fault of low-effort internet bullshit like this. It's actually very upsetting to see somebody poisoned by social media in real-time.
This fucking guy has an online university? Really?
Doesn’t every grifter have their own griftiversity?
He has a website where you can pay to hear him yell at you.
No he has an "educational" program he calls a university.
I guess their security turned out to be as fragile as their masculinity!
A University a.k.a. "Buy this ebook to make money online!" and the contents are "Just resell this Ebook lol".
Wow, that’s a big list of suckers
If I had no morals, damn. Scamming dumb misogynistic men would be such a killer money making opportunity.
Honestly, if you scam them and then donate the money to progressive causes, it's as if you collected taxes.
I wouldn't even call it a scam at that point.
Boot camps for adults that don’t actually want to do any real work along with a get rich quick incel overtone. What a scam.
"incel" is key word here. utter trash.
These hackers have fantastic values, and the effort they put into this made the world a slightly better place. Good on em.
(next on the block: Jordan Peterson's School for Very Logical Manbabies)
If everyone on that list was closely monitored from here, probably the end of school shootings.
He had an online university? Was it CHUD-U?
Oohh, where can I find this list? My wife's ex is one of those sad little men who follows and recommends him everywhere
Ha thats pretty funny, last i heard his dopey academy looked like it was using revolts backend code. Which would be a violation of the gpl V3 license aswell.
Ha ha.
"University" is a pretty generous description.
800,000 users...
I need to get into scamming idiots, that sounds incredibly profitable.
