Some people think of Tate as controlled opposition. He says a few true things about the importance of men being strong, for example, but he’s also said he has no problem with LGBTQ. He’s like a safety valve that allows some pressure to be released without threatening the liberal paradigm itself.
But really Tate isn’t opposition at all. The millions of young men who thought he stood for masculinity were duped (perhaps like Tate himself). He furthered the feminist agenda of fornication and contraception — the two essential components of the Sexual Revolution.
Tate’s message repeated the machismo of rap culture for the mainstream. Get paid, get laid: Bugattis and bitches.
And nothing is more damaging than this to the family and the male authority that comes with it. In an ironic twist like one of the punishments in Dante’s Inferno, “alpha” promiscuity emasculated the black man in the ghetto. The male rush from responsibility resulted in the welfare state supplanting fathers, creating a harem of single mothers.
The black family was thus the canary in the coal mine for modern man. “Free love” was the ultimate honeytrap, and men were seduced into doing the radicals’ work for them. And now they are frustrated by the very feminism they have themselves been entrenching.
But a young man in this situation is primed for recruitment by Islam. As Aquinas noted, Mohammed ‘seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh urges us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all this, as is not unexpected; he was obeyed by carnal men.’
