A mob is motivated not by its cause but by its effects.
Andrew Tate is not representing young males as Joe Rogan would have you believe. He’s simply playing a game of status. A high-status player giving low-status players a chance to be part of something, a chance to be noticed, is a positive loop for both players.
Positive feedback loops never last. They implode. If you want to understand the mob, look for the effects, not the cause.
