That was always my point which you and many others ignored. How can a man that was trending this much be against the matrix? They banned towards the end because he become too argument and ruffled a few feathers, but when he was at his worst saying the most controversial of things, he was there making millions from his content. How does someone against the matrix makes millions from social media?
this is me talking about him December last year, seven months ago:
"Something that annoys me is that Andrew Tate is supposed to be some sort of "masculinity coach" and I do not think this is masculinity to be overly obsessed with women like this. I guess people take him as this masculine icon because he has muscles and martial art skills.
But shouldn't there be more to it? I mean for example what if a man is muscular but is overly obsessed with fashion- is this not unmasculine? Or he's muscular and a dayuth for example.
I don't mean anything derogatory towards women but in the Quran women are mentioned with worldly things. This obsession with having four wives, it's like obsession with owning a mansion, or obsession with eating or some other materialistic obsession.
And isn't Andrew Tate supposed to be "anti-the-system"? How is it anti-the-system to promote materialism? He promotes materialism just like "the matrix" as he calls it does.
In the end this is just someone pushing materialism. This materialism, this obsession with dunya is at odds with Islam. He should be quiet and be learning and reshaping his thought to be in line with Islam but instead he continues to push a message that is contrary to Islam."
I've never liked Andrew Tate or been an Andrew Tate supporter or said or believed he was against "the matix".
this is me in November of last year saying I think he's a freemason:
Wallahi I think both Tate and Muhammad Hijab are freemasons. I've seen both of them seem to flash hand signs that made me think this.
I was never for him, I was just in favor of giving him the benefit of doubt when he supposedly converted. I didn't really believe him but I think anyone who says they're a new Muslim is entitled to the benefit of the doubt. I believe this based on a hadith:
Usamah ibn Zayd reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent us on an expedition. In the morning we attacked Al-Huraqat of Juhaynah. I caught hold of a man and he said, “There is no God but Allah!” I stabbed him anyway. Then, it occurred to me that I should mention that to the Prophet. The Prophet said, “
Did he say ‘there is no God but Allah’ but you killed him?” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, he only said it because he feared the weapon!” The Prophet said, “
Did you tear open his heart to know if he meant it or not?” The Prophet continued repeating it to me until I had wished I had not embraced Islam until that day.
