An online course founded by far-right influencer Andrew Tate was breached by hackers, revealing the email addresses of roughly 325,000 users.
The self-described online university, known as The Real World, offers users “advanced training and mentoring” for around $50 per month. Formerly known as Hustler’s University, the platform focuses on topics such as health and fitness, financial investment, and e-commerce businesses.
“Money making is a skill,” the website states. “We will teach you how to master it.”
On Thursday, the hackers made their actions known by flooding the course’s primary chatroom with emojis they uploaded while Tate was streaming an episode of his show “Emergency Meeting” on Rumble.
The emojis included a transgender flag, a feminist fist, an AI-generated image of Tate draped in a rainbow flag, another where his buttocks are enlarged, and the cat character used in the “boykisser” meme.
Oh. My. Fucking. God.
That many people, actually signed up, and gave him money.
That’s a lot of fucking Darwin awards.
Wonder what percentage of them are barely voter-age teens who voted for Trump. These idiots are gifting their money to these grifters, and then turn around to complain that they don’t have any money because >insert minority<.
They are taught to few the world as a zero sum game. What they do not realise is that they are the losers.
how else could he own 10 buggatis and a huge mansion
Hi mom I just enrolled in the university of a guy who traffics sex slaves and thinks all women should be one
I sometimes work for a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. He’s genuinely kind, but not at all academic. It is entirely the fault of low-effort internet bullshit like this. It’s actually very upsetting to see somebody poisoned by social media in real-time.

People like Andrew Tate deserve part of the blame for propagating this kind of message, sure. But your client who thinks women shouldn’t be allowed to vote is a bad person, and his moral failing is entirely his own. He doesn’t deserve pity because he’s uneducated and falling for propaganda. He’s a sexist piece of shit who thinks women deserve fewer rights than men. Don’t make up excuses for him. He’s a grown man with agency over himself. He chose his path.
Group think and tribalism is very powerful. I used to be a Trump supporter and I remember thinking about how women were more likely to vote for progressive candidates with the conclusion that perhaps they shouldn’t be doing that. I now very deeply regret being part of that and I’m so grateful I broke free of all that nonsense. Monkey see, monkey do is very true. That’s why it’s important that our leaders demonstrate good behavior and set a good example for everyone.
I don’t really believe in free will, so I take a different position to you regarding individual moral failings. He’s obviously confused, and I’m glad I can offer the occasional course correction. If I didn’t have compassion, that wouldn’t be possible.
I’m sorry you have to work for him, and I’m doubly sorry for any women who have to work with him. He’s not genuinely kind. It doesn’t take an academic to see half the human population as humans deserving of the same rights as the other half.
I agree about how upsetting it’s been though. My neigbour and I used to share bbq over the fence and shoot the shit about his life. Now he’s got crazy eyes and legit thinks and says that my wife and I are evil witches (and whatever qanonsense his feed fed him yesterday). I miss the peace I had in my own backyard pre-2016, but here we are.
btw, a lot of effort goes into the misogynist fascist takeover of our public spaces (including online). None of this just happened because (for example, one genesis myth is) low income white boys were bored on the internet. They’ve been groomed for hate and it’s all deliberate.
I think if you ask people why enough times and just say that doesn’t make sense, they find the flaw in their own poor judgments
Yeah, no. People don’t work that way. Once people have adopted these kinds of beliefs that are overtly divorced from reality, telling them that their views don’t make sense usually just hardens their convictions. Being told that they are wrong comes across as evidence that they are right. It validates the “they don’t want you to know this” mentality of people who choose various “red pill” social philosophies.
I guess I just don’t meet that type of person enough. It could also be that many social media accounts are bots or agents, so there was never any chance of convincing them of anything, or any expectation of reasonable behavior
Boot camps for adults that don’t actually want to do any real work along with a get rich quick incel overtone. What a scam.
“incel” is key word here. utter trash.
A University a.k.a. “Buy this ebook to make money online!” and the contents are “Just resell this Ebook lol”.
He had an online university? Was it CHUD-U?
These hackers have fantastic values, and the effort they put into this made the world a slightly better place. Good on em.
(next on the block: Jordan Peterson’s School for Very Logical Manbabies)
If everyone on that list was closely monitored from here, probably the end of school shootings.
For anyone not aware, the entire breach has been published by DDOSecrets and can be torrented by anyone.
For research and journalism purposes, of course.
See, this is what the Matt Gaetz hacker would do if they actually had it
lol
This feels like a 4chan anonymous thing.
