Andrew Tate claims to teach society ‘stoicism, emotional control’ as Tristan Tate backs brother, here’s what youth thinks of Top G
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew Tate claimed in one of his recent posts on X (formerly Twitter) that he teaches stoicism and emotional control to society along with self-accountability as he criticized knife crime publicly.
On September 27, a 15-year-old schoolgirl in Croydon, England was stabbed to death when she was on her way to school and tried to stop a fight between her friend and her ex-boyfriend, as per Daily Mail.
Andrew Tate on stoicism and emotional control
In response to a tweet criticizing Andrew Tate and blaming him for the stabbing of the 15-year-old, Tate wrote, “I teach stoicism. Emotional control. Self accountability.”
He added, “I teach men how to grow into formidable forces of competence which protect and provide for everyone they love. Especially the women in their lives. I have spoken out against knife crime publicly, I have many daughters - I have also condemned London as a failing society repeatedly and publicly. ”
He further said, “A society lacking what I teach is what’s dangerous. Sometimes, men feel angry. They must control this. Telling men to "cry more" and "act how they feel" then being surprised they act violent is whats dangerous. Attacking me, a man who stands up and tells young men how to grow into good men, is whats dangerous.”
I teach stoicism.

He also mentioned in the tweet, “Only a strong man could have stopped this attacker. Strong men are needed more than ever. When you call the police you pray for a strong man. Not a feminist. You, with this single idiotic tweet, have done more damage to society than I will ever do.”
Moreover, his younger brother Tristan Tate also backed him. He tweeted about the stabbing news on X along with the caption, “If young boys listened to Andrew Tate this would not happen. Stoicism. Emotional control. Self accountability. Andrew Tate is not dangerous, a society lacking what he teaches is what’s dangerous.”

Youth have a positive view of Andrew Tate
In May 2023, a YouGov research looked at how young men felt about Tate and his views; the latest YouGov Children's Omnibus survey did the same for boys.
Notably, 60% of males that age and 54% of all youngsters between the ages of six and 15 have heard of Tate. This percentage rises to 84% for males between the ages of 13 and 15.
Moreover, one in six boys aged six to 15 (17%), including 23% of 13 to 15-year-olds, had a favorable impression of Andrew Tate. Similar percentages of boys agree with Andrew Tate's opinions "in general" and think highly of him.
In contrast, 63% of 13 to 15-year-old males and 56% of all boys between six to 15 years of age have a negative opinion about Tate.
Tate's views on women, however, are less enticing to boys than his ideas on labor and achievement, as well as masculinity, according to the research.
Notably, 1 in 8 boys between the ages of 6 and 15 (or 12%) say they share Tate's opinions on women, compared to 17% who share his opinions on what it means to be a man and 20% who share his opinions on work and achievement.
