Secret courses recently leaked from inside Tate’s online “university” reveal that paying disciples of the British-American former kickboxer were taught not only how to manipulate women into sex work for financial gain, as previously uncovered, but also how to dig into the private lives of the elite for “leverage” in business too – using the tactics of intelligence agencies and private investigators.

He said he was also upset to see “young men essentially being poisoned in their view of women” by Tate’s brand of toxic masculinity, which tells men to “take the red pill”, referencing sci-thriller The Matrix, in order to understand “the real world” where men must fight back against feminism.
