The Andrew Tate-trix
And the Alpha Male Apparatus
Matrix /mā-triks/ (n.) : something within or from which something else originates or takes form; a derivative of what’s real.
“Masculinity is kind of a toxic curse, isn’t it?”
— Luis Alberto Urrea
Because of f*ucks like Andrew Tate, it appears as though men have plans to take over the world. As a fair point of fact, it would be simply ignorant to deny the existence of the male power fantasy, of which women have always — completely unneccessarily — been a direct target by weak men.
Woman are taught to avoid violent men: But strong men are taught to become violent to avert danger.
Superheroes are vigilantes, soldiers are killers, kings are cut-throat, all of which appeal to traditional male expectations (“be a man!”).
“The tyranny of masculinity and the tyranny of patriarchy I think has been much more deadly to men than it has to women. It hasn’t killed our hearts. It’s killed men’s hearts. It’s silenced them; it’s cut them off.”
— Eve Ensler
“Strong” men are born with the need to become aggressive: something they learn to live with in darkness. Now imagine weak men…
We males are born in the shadow of stronger and stronger men — under the corruption of power-hungry leaders and generals — guiding us to become strong arms, killers, meat shields…. while weak men are displaced.
Power is hardwired into a man’s genes like a growing parasite.
“Treat your men as you would your own beloved sons. And they will follow you into the deepest valley.”
— Sun Tzu, c. 500 BC, Chinese general & military strategist
Violence has never been a necessity, but it’s the only defense against other violence — power defends against the abuse of power — therefore, to say we’ve evolved past the need for physical force is a grave simplification.
Boys are told that manhood = power = purpose
“Brain-washing starts in the cradle.”
— Arthur Koestler, 1905–1983, Hungarian-British writer
″A man needs a battle to fight; he needs a place for the warrior in him to come alive and be honored, trained, seasoned. If we can reawaken that fierce quality in a man, hook it up to a higher purpose, release the warrior within, then the boy can grow up and become truly masculine.”
— John Eldredge, Wild at Heart
“Violence has always been unfortunately embedded in masculinity, this alpha thing.”
— Sebastian Stan
In our youth, my male peers and I would engage in a type of physical combat we called “fisticuffs”: feeling like we were animals, possessed by the spirit of budding “manhood”, we’d beat each other to pulp until passed out, bloodied and exhausted: something we never once thought of as “amoral”….
As boys become men, aggressive tendencies are usually displayed more openly.
The threat of violence is always in the back of a mans mind, as we’re trained that it’s a common part of life….
Men find it necessary to resort to violence in order to protect themselves from the threat of one another.
“Power shows the man.”
“Αρχή άνδρα δείκνυσι.”
— Bias of Priene, 625–540 BC, 1 of 7 Greek Sages
The male power fantasy is every man’s responsibility to overcome, but not necessarily a man’s fault: It’s simply the way of feeling safe in a rough-and-tough society.….
Aggressive men are really just afraid little boys, aware of the animal inside of them, defending what’s left of their right to feel peaceful and safe.
Ofcourse, “masculine power” can easily be overblown to terrifying degrees, as with men like Andrew Tate and his followers….
The term “Top G” is another way of saying “alpha” (as in “alpha male”): a truly arbitrary title sanctioned by simps and intimidators alike (in order to easily feel superior).
The “Top G” ideology empowers abusers and heartless manipulators who’d do anything for control over others.
Tate and his followers have started calling this supposed agenda against true masculinity “The Matrix” — yes, like in the movie — as if anti-masculinity is something we must actively escape/wake up from.
Here, the irony is that Tate’s worldview is entirely a pipe dream: a delusion designed with the purpose of making aggressive men feel superior.
There is no “agenda against true masculinity”….
The real Matrix is created by dogmatic figureheads like Jordan B. Peterson, Andrew Tate, Adolf Hitler, etc. (the horseman of the authoritarian apocalypse) who aim to submerse our culture in a dystopia where a select class of people can do and receive whatever they want, based on power generated by men.
“Many leaders is not a good thing. Let there be one ruler, one king.”
“Ουκ αγαθόν πολυκοιρανίη. Είς κοίρανος έστω, είς βασιλεύς.”— Homer, c. 800–750 BC, Ancient Greek Poet
Anyone who believes in ideology over observable truth is part of the Matrix….
Those who ground themselves in what can be known have escaped it….
