Summary
Andrew and Tristan Tate face charges in Romania for human trafficking, rape, and abuse, yet their trial has been repeatedly delayed using legal tactics to hold up proceedings.
The Tates, notorious for misogynistic and far-right views on social media, allegedly exploited women through the “lover boy” method, in which men pretend to be caring boyfriends before forcing their victims into prostitution as well as appearing in online sex channels and porn films.
Despite a 2024 court decision to proceed with a criminal trial, proceedings have stalled. Romania’s justice system, criticized for leniency toward traffickers, further complicates justice.
The Tates remain publicly popular, with Andrew even receiving applause at a Romanian festival amid these allegations.
I am a brown person and I’ve gotten a lot more dirty looks and subtle passive-aggressive comments as a tourist in Europe travelling with my white American girlfriend than at home in the US, even in the southern states.
As for Trump, just remember that Europeans have elected the likes of Boris Johnson and Priti Patel, Marine Le Pen made it to the final round of the French elections from what I’ve heard, AfD is on the rise in Germany, Benito Mussolini’s granddaughter who very much thinks just like him is in the Italian parliament, and Hungary keeps electing Viktor Orban.
So are you really any better or just more stuck up like I said?
AfD was not founded by former SS officers, wtf are you talking about?
I got it mixed up since I dont exactly follow European politics I just know what I hear on the news. It was these guys in Austria who were founded by former SS. I knew there was some far right party in modern Europe that was but I remembered wrong. AfD is much more recent but regardless they’re still far worse than most American Republicans as is the fact that there is any active political party in Europe that was founded by literal Nazis.
