The fall of McGregor Why was fighter's sinister cult of content lauded and rewarded for so long?

Some good news at last for Conor McGregor. Probably there's a way of spinning it as bad news, which is what the scum mainstream media will do. But in the wake of his defeat in a Dublin civil case against a woman who accused him of raping her, as brands and fans scramble to disown him, as murals are hastily painted over across the island, you have to take your pledges of support where you can find them. Step forward: Andrew Tate.

"Bullshit ruling against Conor McGregor," Tate wrote from Romania, where he is facing his own legal issues, including charges of trafficking and rape. "Women sleep with rich men and if that man doesn't fund their life afterwards, they lie and sue. Their brutal narcissism can't take the L of being undesired. We've set a dangerous precedent. It's literally impossible to be a man in the western world."

Notwithstanding the fact that many men in the western world do occasionally manage to struggle by, there is a certain plaintive quality to all this. The hyper-sensitivity, the victim card, the persecution complex: is this not quite...woke?

Then again, perhaps you need an intellect on Tate's hyper-extended level to find any kind of common ground with McGregor right now and to wilfully ignore that a jury found Nikita Hand had told the truth when she claimed she had been assaulted by him.
