Andrew Tate blames American parents' 'lack of responsibility' for school shootings, Internet says 'you are just larping'

Andrew Tate claimed that American parents are failing to instill the values and respect connected with their family names and instead blame the system

BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew Tate has embroiled himself in yet another controversy by commenting on the parenting style followed by Americans. After another fatal school shooting took place in the US, Tate stated that the shooter's parents are to be blamed in such situations.

There have been more than 18 public shootings in the country between June 15 and June 18, resulting in the deaths of 18 people, according to GunViolenceArchive. Tate has expressed his views on the recurrent issues through tweets while under house arrest in Romania.

'Family in the USA is absolutely broken'

Tate addressed America's gun issues on Twitter and claimed that most of the time, the families are at fault for their lack of "responsibility or guidance." He wrote, "Country - States - Cities - Towns - Communities - Families. It starts with the family. Family in the USA is absolutely broken. Mother and Father can't even stick together. Extended families hate each other over politics. Where are the cousins? Great uncles? Where is the guidance?" 

Tate also attached a video to his tweet, developing the argument further by asserting that one of the major causes of shootings in America is that parents aren't accepting responsibility for failing to instill the values and respect connected with their family names. In the video, he says, "I bet in the '60s, '70s, people didn't want to do dumb s**t because the family would be known as criminals. The last name would be tarnished... Now you have a school shooter whose gonna go out there and kill people, meanwhile, their families say he was failed by the system. They don't even feel any shame! It's unbelievable."

'You are literally just larping'

After Tate made his remark, netizens didn't shy away from sharing their opinions. A user wrote, "your parents werent even together little bro. you are literally just larping. you saw your dad once a year or less." A second user wrote, "Yes, the family is the smallest unit of the society. When the basic fabric of the family is torn, then we have a broken society and eventually a dead country. Sad." "Yes, we need to fix the core-family," wrote one, while another stated, "Bring back strong families".
