Didn’t know he was accredited
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.

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?
That would be over half of the male population in the U.S.
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.
No, no, no. Tate is scamming them and they love it. They need scammed until they get their fill. In the meantime, why not profit like Tate, Alex Jones, Tim Pool and Glen Beck? Maybe sell some nice, Freedom Ass Tanning lotion.

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.

A University a.k.a. "Buy this ebook to make money online!" and the contents are "Just resell this Ebook lol".
Oh. My. Fucking. God.
That many people, actually signed up, and gave him money.
That's a lot of fucking Darwin awards.
how else could he own 10 buggatis and a huge mansion
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<.

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?
*removing yourself from the gene pool
Death is not required.
True, good point!
He had an online university? Was it CHUD-U?
helpmebrucecampbellabsorbedmychin.com
Damnit
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.
Where does data like this end up?
I’m asking to avoid it of course
It's in the article.
The email addresses from the dump were provided by the hackers to HaveIBeenPwned, a service that alerts users when their credentials are leaked. Those email addresses as well as the chat data were also handed over to the journalism collective DDoSecrets, which hosts hacked and leaked data in the public interest.
But its not on the site, unless i missed it
This fucking guy has an online university? Really?
He has a website where you can pay to hear him yell at you.

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.

This feels like a 4chan anonymous thing.
