So my brother just send me a post on insta on Mason Greenwood, saying our club should just sign him now. Like, mate have you not heard the audio of the guy literally r*ping his gf? Or do you just not care?
According to my mom he also sometimes goes on a rant against woke and LGBTQ+ people. I’m 100% convinced social media algorithms got him into Tate territory. My mom is an open minded person. My dad, while being a typical working class guy, is an open minded person. They would never say dumb shit like that. And I don’t think I have to clarify how I think about the world.
My brother is a kind and good guy but I always felt he was easily influenced. I hate that losers like Tate can change him from what he is into a potential racist shithead.
That sucks. I’ve known a few people who’ve gotten caught up in that world.
For what it’s worth, if he’s been influenced by them, he can probably be influenced back. The best method I’ve found is just inviting those folks around to my home and letting them observe a healthy relationship between me and my wife. Direct confrontation has never worked for me, just continued exposure to something healthy (especially if there are moments I can defer to my wife or otherwise act against the mysogynistic worldview).
Guys like Tate can talk all they want, but seeing two people be genuinely loving and supportive of each other tends to disarm a lot of the bs argument points (and ultimately reveals the fear and loathing those guys are barely hiding). Can’t save everyone, but we can do our part.
