Yeah, Andrew Tate has personally ruined who knows how many lives. His rhetoric has likely ruined several orders of magnitude more lives. Anybody should naturally feel that Tate’s life cannot be worth more than all of those lives that he’s ruined.
Because we are modern people, our first instinct is, well, just imprison him for the rest of his life and then we can forget about him. Problem solved.
But the problem is not solved because we can all see, in real time, that justice doesn’t seem to be happening here.
It’s when justice is denied that people start to think of extrajudicial solutions. This is the danger of having dysfunctional governments that don’t serve the best interests of their citizens.
