Andrew Tate Vs. The Multiracial Working Class Myth

Tate is the "right-wing" figure post-White America deserves

Most conservative movement activists hate Andrew Tate with a burning passion. In their eyes, Tate is no more than a sexist pimp. He's a bad influence on young men. He's not a "real man" because he doesn't encourage his followers to get married, have children, and vote for GOP candidates. In short, Andrew Tate is not a True Conservative. 

Conservative pundits fixated on the "Crisis of Masculinity" use Tate as an example of what leftism produces. Josh Hawley, for example, says Tate is "a child pretending to be a man" because he tells men that women like to be choked during sex. Sexual asphyxiation must be a major cause of the GOOD MEN shortage!

The irony, of course, is that Andrew Tate embodies the multi-racial working class movement that Hawley and his ilk promote so desperately. Tate's massive audience includes lower status ethnic groups. (The former kickboxer is mixed-race himself). His hustler ethos has more appeal among working class men than any DC meme ideology. If multiracial working class conservatism were real, Tate would be its leader. 

Tate’s philosophy is a more polished variant of the rap ethos "Fuck Bitches, Get Money."  He exudes over-the-top machismo, finds self-worth in ostentatious displays of wealth, and emphasizes a gang mentality among friends. But Tate takes the rap lifestyle out of the ghetto. His appeal is not black-coded, it’s open to all. Though he sometimes speaks the language of criminals, Tate doesn’t want his audience to become gangbangers. He promises to make them middle-class entrepreneurs, sans the old bourgeois values and norms. He raises rap values to a level that can appeal equally to white suburbanites and working-class minorities.

In some ways, Tate's "hustler" mentality is a cynical and classless variant of the American Dream. Both emphasize hard work (called the “grindset” in Tate’s world), dedication, prosperity, and the entrepreneurial spirit. Hustlers University promises to turn its “students” into rich capitalists. One could say Tate is a Horatio Alger for the 21st century. 

The differences between Tate and past exponents of the American Dream are obvious. He ridicules middle class careerists as "brokies" and doesn't pay much lip service to family men. He promotes a life of extravagant opulence rather than middling comfort. Tate is not a Christian and, despite his newfound Islamic faith, dispenses with social conservatism. He encourages his followers to become rich and successful men more than good husbands.

Everything about Tate's style is an affront to WASP taste. He doesn't sport Brooks Brothers and loafers. He encourages more discrete bling than rappers, but still flaunts bedazzled watches and expensive sports cars.  Tate’s celebration of excessive spending and gaudiness flies in the face of WASP thrift and inconspicuousness. His semi-gangster machismo would be frowned upon at a country club. WASPs hardly know what a Bugatti is, let alone brag about owning one.

Andrew Tate's American Dream will represent the right in a post-White America. The traditional WASP values associated with conservatism and the Republican Party will die out with the Baby Boomer generation. Young whites today have zero aspiration to reproduce the WASP ideal, raised as they were in a world dominated by rap music and black culture. They also don't want to sink towards wiggerdom, a direction many are headed. Non-whites don’t want to be WASPs either, but they fear getting stuck in the ghetto. And neither group enjoys the constant lectures from prissy, moralistic liberal women. Tate offers something different from WASPdom and the ghetto lifestyle. He promotes a lavish, male fantasy. 

Andrew Tate's hustler ethos appeals to both white Americans who want to shed their whiteness and non-whites who want to achieve material prosperity. His transgressive male sensibility speaks to young men bashed over the head with feminine moralism (from both right and left) their entire lives. They want to make money and fuck beautiful women. And while most Tate adherents will not drive sports cars or hang out on yachts, they may rationalize their middle class striving as a Tate-style hustle. It’s just a new “self-help” guide for such men to reach the suburban ideal. Hustlerism has a much broader appeal in a majority-white nation beset with anti-white racism. 

Postliberals who loathe Tate imagine the multiracial working class as resolutely anti-capitalist. Anyone familiar with “grindset” knows blacks and Hispanics don’t want to overthrow the capitalist system. They want to game it to achieve the American Dream. This, of course, often leads them into pyramid schemes and other harebrained endeavors--which Tate seems to actively promote. But their stupid attempts don’t disabuse them of American capitalism. The promise of wealth attracts them more than the pseudo-Marxism espoused by an irrelevant Beltway intelligentsia.

Conservatives and postliberals insist the multiracial working class is socially conservative. There’s some truth to that, but not in the sense you’d find in the pages of a conservative magazine. Young men who watch Tate videos are not avid churchgoers waiting for marriage. The majority of them never go to church. They don’t want to live in a society run by clerics. They just dislike the excesses of wokeness and feminism. Tate, as stated above, is no social conservative. He makes his money off of OnlyFans girls and encourages sexual promiscuity. At the same time, he attacks feminism and political correctness. Conservatives may scoff but this reflects the beliefs of young American men far more than any integralist.

This is not to praise Hustlerism. It would be much better for young Americans to aspire to WASP etiquette and decorum. Andrew Tate wouldn’t be popular in a whiter country. But we are moving towards a post-white America, and Tate’s politics and self-presentation will only become more common. Conservatism in a majority-minority America looks like the former kickboxer, minus his recent conversion to Islam. It will be secular, diverse, hyper-capitalist, and anti-woke. It will not care about gay marriage or abortion. It will not dress in polos and khakis. It will not desire the Empire of Our Lady of Guadalupe. 

In practice, multiracial working class conservatism will want a new version of the American Dream–complete with rap music and gold chains. It will want Andrew Tate.
