  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Yeah, Andrew Tate has personally ruined who knows how many lives. His rhetoric has likely ruined several orders of magnitude more lives. Anybody should naturally feel that Tate's life cannot be worth more than all of those lives that he's ruined.

Because we are modern people, our first instinct is, well, just imprison him for the rest of his life and then we can forget about him. Problem solved.

But the problem is not solved because we can all see, in real time, that justice doesn't seem to be happening here.

It's when justice is denied that people start to think of extrajudicial solutions. This is the danger of having dysfunctional governments that don't serve the best interests of their citizens.
