When some group is trying to manipulate people, they don’t just boost content from that topic, they generate fake 2nd hand interest. Fake 3rd hand interest. They aren’t trying to boost it a little bit, they’re trying to create an artificial fad. Create the fake appearance of a whole social movement happening that you just happened to stumble upon. When people want to manipulate a whole society, manipulate their culture, in ways that sew distrust and divisions and make it self distrust, they do this to people like him. He’s probably getting boosted by Russia just as Trump removed all the protections against Russia tampering and influencing American social media. His message is hateful and harmful and pro far right, which is exactly where the interests of Russia and maga align. You could be part of a Russian farm trying to spread the message for all I know. The targeted payload of influence you’re trying to spread isn’t “Andrew Tate good” the message is “lots of people are paying attention to Andrew Tate.” The thing is i never hear shit about Andrew Tate. I hear people saying “other people are paying attention to this.” And I’m taking the bait by even responding to this when I know it’s better to just ghost and ignore things like this.

The crash in 2020 was twice as deep as it should have been. The markets were spooked by a president repeating conspiracy theories instead of reassuring people while health organizations were scrambling and panicking.

Those numbers on his poster are made up and don’t reflect actual tariffs that exist and can be cut.

The people there should have taken care of the Houthis themselves like 20 years ago.

They could just not shoot at ships. Ignoring that makes your argument a little pointless.

The people there should take care of the terrorists there themselves, before other countries feel obligated to do it.

The majority of the damage the houthis have done is to the economy of Europe. Despite their slogan they are not competent enough to figure out how to really hurt the US or Israel, not for a lack of trying, though.

They should have taken it upon themselves to overthrow the houthis like 20 years ago already. The houthis holding the Suez hostage for more than a year economically hurts multiple billions of people. The damage they are feeling is a small fraction of the damage they have done to the rest of the world. It’s just not easy to show a representation of a small % of damage to the entire global economy like you can show a viral video clip of a bomb landing.

Each bomb that hits the houthis is a favor to the rest of the world. Given as a gift, by the USA.

The anti Israel part of the Democratic party is a tiny vocal fringe.
