While Tate's conversion to Islam is disappointing, I think his impact is a net positive. The "Tate circus," like the "Trump circus," represents another odd step out of the hole we're in despite these clowns' imperfections. It would be nice if everyone who is inspired by Andrew Tate was able to understand his messaging with a critical mind. And no public persona ever offers the whole package. We have Christ for that. Sadly, Christians have turned Christianity into another float in the gay pride parade. I have often felt inspired, myself, to run from the church because of its sad state. I, too, can get jealous at the display of comradery and brotherhood that Moslems can display. Sadly, Christianity is in position to learn from Islam in this regard.
I wish every Tate fan had your words to read, Knowland. And I look forward to reading more from you on how we move forward with a Christian resurrection of masculinity. Thank you for this piece of the puzzle unfolding. It gave light to a few of my own blind spots.
Another point: Tate's religion may be business, not Islam. He is a rags to riches figure excited about the business world. He is also a traveler. His conversion is likely a means to better relationships within Islamic finance, at least to some degree.
Ultimately, Hill's line is about the necessity of the Crucifixion because we are fallen creatures in a fallen world. This means suffering and sacrifice. The most bloodless political philosophies have always turned out to be the bloodiest in the end.
Your welcome. Perhaps if you have time, you can checkout William Michael of the Classic Liberal Arts Academy. He is Catholic and has a wonderful YouTube Channel. Thanks so much for your channel, I truly appreciate it.
I am interested in your take as to why you think Islam in particular holds such sway over the masculine mind as opposed to Christianity and Judaism.
And why have Christianity and Judaism not seen interest from new converts in the West the same way? Is it the exoticism and free pass Islam gets from leftism that could be the reason?

I would like to understand the quote from Geoffrey Hill “No bloodless myth will hold”. While seeking to understand, I came across this excellent article in First Things https://www.firstthings.com/article/2021/06/the-cross-and-the-machine
