What a piece of shit. I hope once he's arrested he'll never come back to society again.

Previous post removed because it was from the Daily Beast. This is pretty much identical information from the BBC.

Tate says the War Room - which costs $8,000 (£6,300) a year to join - is a network of powerful men and those who want to learn from them.

Members are instructed by some of the War Room leadership - known as "generals" - to romantically seduce, emotionally manipulate and socially isolate women before luring them into performing on webcams - often taking all or most of the money they make.

[The] War Room teaches members through its so-called "PhD" course - the initials stand for "Pimpin' Hoes Degree" - how to groom women into sex work.

Excerpts from the chats:

After that it becomes a series of gradual steps to remove her entire support structure from her life.

“Then we ‘punish’ her for a transgression—real or imagined—by having her get our name tattooed on her, leaving her family’s home/apartment/town/country, WebCamming/stripping/walking the track for us, getting us girls, escalate, escalate, escalate.”

This level of evil boggles the mind.

Wow these guys are screwed, that's textbook trafficking. I hope the laws are up to par in wherever they are.

Don't know about the laws in Romania, but the prison conditions are not pleasant.

The physical environment of these [Romanian prison] facilities is marked by poor cell conditions, overcrowding, poor hygiene and sanitation, and inadequate food and health care.

The continuing use of restraints such as handcuffs and leg irons for very long periods of time as a form of punishment is a violation of international standards for the treatment of prisoners. The report describes abuse by guards and corruption rife in Romanian prisons.

There's irony in the fact that Tate went to Romania specifically to evade international standards and laws.

I keep trying to tell people that Tate isn't just a douchebag alpha male, he's a psychopath.

Yeah, I can't watch more than 30 seconds of any of his content, anything more and I lose all faith in humanity. That people actually like to listen to this guy just blows my mind.
