Andrew Tate is on a mission to prove his model of masculinity is what will save civilization.
Matt Walsh helpfully reminded him why he's so insanely wrong.
It started with this:
You may not agree with Matt. Cool. Stick with me.
What's about to unfold is a debate between a guy who believes Conan the Barbarian is a model for manhood and a man who believes vows and commitment are the model of manhood.
Tate responded with the Conan approach:
Tate has built a business model on the angst of a post-modern West where God and oaths are forsaken … and there are no penalties for it.
But his call to sire children like an animal during a rut should raise immediate red flags for anyone who has studied human history, human nature, or the rise and fall of civilizations - particularly the West.
Matt Walsh responded in kind:
What Matt is saying is rooted in the biblical teaching that built the West.
‘This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh.' - Genesis 2:24
This reminds me of what GK Chesterton said a century ago:
The revolt against vows has been carried in our day even to the extent of a revolt against the typical vow of marriage. It is most amusing to listen to the opponents of marriage on this subject. They appear to imagine that the ideal of constancy was a yoke mysteriously imposed on mankind by the devil, instead of being, as it is, a yoke consistently imposed by all lovers on themselves. They have invented a phrase, a phrase that is a black and white contradiction in two words - ‘free-love' - as if a lover ever had been, or ever could be, free. It is the nature of love to bind itself, and the institution of marriage merely paid the average man the compliment of taking him at his word. Modern sages offer to the lover, with an ill-favored grin, the largest liberties and the fullest irresponsibility; but they do not respect him as the old Church respected him; they do not write his oath upon the heavens, as the record of his highest moment. They give him every liberty except the liberty to sell his liberty, which is the only one that he wants.
Real men take oaths and make covenants, even if others break them. Real men bind themselves in love and duty with a promise.
That is what God did for us, after all.
