Is It Strange That My New Hero Is A Swedish Teenage Girl?
Just email Greta Thunberg at smalldickenergy@getalife.com
When I first saw this, I was practically rolling on the floor laughing. Andrew Tate, a misogynistic asshole, was utterly owned by Greta Thunberg, a 19-year-old Swede who, like a Kung Fu master, proved that less could be far more.
While Tate was trying to bait Thunberg with his “mine is bigger” argument (Did he think that was going to work with a woman?), Thunberg turned it against him masterfully. His refusal to take his medicine resulted in his getting arrested in Romania.
Karma’s a bitch, and schadenfreude is genuinely a thing of majesty and beauty.
Earlier this week, I didn’t know Andrew Tate from an anal wart, and my world was richer for it. Now that I’m learning who he is, all I can do is apologize on behalf of those of us who own a penis. Ladies, he may think he represents the best of the male gender. Rest assured that decent guys like myself would love nothing more than to rid the world of trolls and misogynists like him.
So, yes, Andrew Tate had been humiliated before the entire world by a Swedish teenager. For someone with delusions of grandeur and an ego as megalomaniacal and toxic as his, there was no way he could let his humiliation go unanswered. And it was his response that would ultimately be his downfall.
Don’tcha LOVE it when karma and schadenfreude work together to bring down a toxic, flaming asshole like Tate? It kinda makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
There’s so much delicious karma to this story. It’s like the Christmas gift that keeps on giving. Seeing Andrew Tate in the custody of Romanian police sans the smug, self-satisfied grin was worth the price of admission. He thought he’d gotten the upper hand on Thunberg when all he’d proven was that he didn’t know when to leave well enough alone, take his medicine, and move on.
While Thunberg's post received a chorus of praise and attention, the mockery stemming from her response is not the only thing Tate needs to worry about. On Thursday, Tate, a former professional kickboxer and self-described "misogynist," was arrested in Romania, alongside his brother Tristan, reportedly in connection with an investigation into human trafficking and other alleged offenses.
Social media users have been speculating that a video Tate posted on Twitter in response to Thunberg's viral tweet led to his detainment. In the video, Tate is handed a stack of pizza boxes from the Romanian restaurant, Jerry's Pizza, which some believe may have helped authorities track him down. In his video, Tate also tells someone off-camera to make sure the pizza boxes won't be recycled.
Though Romanian police are now downplaying the importance the pizza boxes played in locating Tate, the important thing is that he’s finally in their custody. The rest is just details.
And, as might be expected, Thunberg couldn’t resist the opening to drive her victory home…and it was a thing of beauty:
And then there was this:
This story is best told in tweets, especially since that’s how it all started. The fact that a 19-year Swedish girl started this firestorm with just a few well-timed words of shade is sheer brilliance. Most of us will live our entire lives and never have the opportunity to make that kind of an impact. Greta Thunberg did it in two tweets.
I’m in awe- she’s an absolute legend.
To call it impressive would be to utterly miss the point of what she did. She made Andrew Tate look like a tiny (“small dick energy”) man in just a few well-chosen words. How could she not be my new hero?
Remember, kids- this is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes.
