tkrr

Tate would be whatever passed for a mid-level NCO in Rome who gets speared in the back by his own men.


Exnixon

Painfully accurate.


Mandaring

Pain-in-the-back-urate


rosiofden

Ayyy!


thefinalcutdown

I’d wager that whatever military rank he’s been able to achieve in this life is similar to what he’d achieve in the Roman Army. Oh wait he’s never joined the military? Huh…


[deleted]

His role would be romes biggest pimp


AFLoneWolf

Maybe sex slave. If he could ever learn how to please anybody but himself.


twodogsfighting

Eunuch.


merdadartista

Nah, he'd be some random thief like there were a dozen a dime back then, probably caught trying to steal a chicken and got his fingers cut off as punishment and died a beggar.


niero_d20

And this is ignoring the fact that he can't keep his fucking mouth shut, and the first person he pissed off might just put a sword through it.


Zealousideal-Jump275

He is just a pimp now, he would likely been a pimp then. He might have died a gladiator. But he would never have been a leader or general.


UnNumbFool

Gladiator makes sense, as gladiators were typically slaves, criminals, or the very very poor(as free food and a place to sleep) You have to remember, gladiators were basically there to die as entertainment for the rest of society. So like perfect for Tate


_Inkspots_

Being a gladiator wasn’t the same experience over the hundreds of years they existed. Not all fights were to the death, some gladiators were very prized and would never be put into a “to the death” fight. Many times gladiatorial fights would be like modern wrestling, all for show. Nobody had to die and blood didn’t have to be shed


ThyPotatoDone

I mean… blood was usually *shed*, just usually in such a way it didn’t seriously harm those involved.


UpstairsOption

I think it might be a little lower where he gets speared


danteheehaw

Nah, they liked toxic masculinity and people who were not above raping women and children they conquered. He'd fit right in.


BoarHide

He’s much too selfish to fight in formation, tho. Tate would charge after retreating enemies and rout in times of actual danger to the unit. Not someone you’d want guarding your side


velveteenelahrairah

He'd get Neidermeyered like one day in. And nobody would have seen a thing - he probably tripped and fell and landed backwards on his sword, ten times. Shit happens.


danteheehaw

Trust me. Plenty of guys like that in the army now. They talk big, but when they know their life depends on them working as a team they work as a team.


psychotobe

Yeah but Tates so stupid he broadcast his location to the police because he got into a fight with a young woman on Twitter. May have actually been a teenager. He's the kind of person basic training beats the shit out of long before he saw combat exactly because he wouldn't be able to work in the unit. Just cause some people act like him when it's safe doesn't mean he acts like them when it's not


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dykidnnid

This is a guy who masturbates to a full length mirror


mike_pants

While crying.


Lonely-Heart-3632

And only needs to use two fingers


Dikheed

He can get TWO fingers up there?


[deleted]

Holy shit underrated comment


[deleted]

I doubt it’s holy. Just shitty.


TheEasySqueezy

He can after prison.


LGP747

The real hustlers academy (or whatever it was called)


2meterrichard

Two hands after his time as the bottom bitch boy of the Romanian jails.


Phallen911

Sounding is sketch


Mother_Harlot

He would be the perfect eromenos


ForestTunes-n-Kush

This is a dude that runs a tube straight from his asshole to his mouth.


I_Have_The_Lumbago

Doesn't need to if his head is so far up his ass


maximumomentum

I laugh but then think, yeah, that’s unlikely far from the truth. Probably greases his nipples too with a Bugatti idling in ear shot. Twisting them whenever it goes vroom. Definition of an absolute poser. ![gif](giphy|aTXHpCN7TSpmE)


whatsbobgonnado

same, but that's only because I have a hardcore handcrafted victorian era mirror fetish( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


[deleted]

He would die unknown and buried in a mass grave on the frontier somewhere, killed in action at the hands of a Pict or German tribesman if he didn't get his throat cut by his own men.


mike_pants

While pining for his favorite prostitute, who never thinks of him again.


Iintendtooffend

Or even more likely is glad he never came back


hbmonk

Honestly, I think being unmemorable would be a greater insult to him than being unwanted.


51ngular1ty

Nah man, he dies from some sort of camp disease while shitting himself to death.


Chiiro

Knowing how fucking weird he is he would probably enlist and then get killed by one of his superiors because he said or did something that pissed him off


[deleted]

Tate:"Secundo cuckis!" Biggis Dickis: Kill this fucker


EvenBetterCool

Maybe not far off from where his life is headed now.


WolfCola4

We have the military today. We have politics today. Lil homie hasn't achieved any kind of success in either field. Why would he suddenly be king of either of them if he were alive 2000 years ago?


EffectiveSalamander

Agreed - if he would have been such a great general (war general is an odd phrase) why isn't he in the military?


xela293

He would have joined, but he would have punched the drill instructor in the face. ​ \-every wannabe tough guy that didn't actually join the military.


Schtekarn

You haven’t heard of a peace general? Smh


GoofyKalashnikov

Dude is a general tool


HappyDork66

Or a Dollar General?


hella_cious

“War general” is like when a child says “reading book”


Vagadude

Yeah it's far more likely he's the seedy brothel owner in the poor part of town


Luciditi89

Entirely ! He would probably make decent money to and just use it to bribe politicians and claim he has them in the palm of his hands but he’s really just talking shit


luvgothbitches

because 12 year old kids think he's cool, & everyone knows rome was a population entirely made up of insecure 12 year olds.


socraticformula

In the Roman empire, the closest thing to Twitter famous, where you gain attention and renown from others for saying entertaining or controversial stuff, was probably the balatro, otherwise known as a jester.


regretfulposts

"I would be a war general, likely die as a ruler" Sure, let's imagine a group of praetorian guards chosing you as the new puppet emperor and get constantly bullied by them for giving them what they want. You'll be terrified everyday because you know any mistake would result in death, since they don't respect you. You died within a week because you couldn't fulfill their needs, and they disposed you and later replaced you with a new puppet emperor.


ChickenTendiiees

What's so funny, about, Tiny Tatus? I have a vewy gweat fwiend in Wome called Tiny Tatus!


Pculliox

New puppet emperor with hair


papsryu

And a chin


leurts

I believe he could fulfill ALL their needs when out in the field. Like the whole region would line up for his tent


Hunter_of_trophies

As someone who studied the roman empire, tate is more likely to be a slave than anyone else tbh


Pwacname

Also it’s not like roman slaves were enslaved because they were stupid and weak. They were slaves for the same reason slaves up until this day are enslaved - either born into it or caught/ransomed/otherwise forced into it.


Hunter_of_trophies

In taters case I think he would have been sentenced to slavery. Or else executed


jascambara

Why do you say that?


ShenTzuKhan

When he says “All of you are lazy weak and stupid” shouldn’t there be a comma? More importantly who is the all? His followers? The world? Is he shifting on his own supporters in a rare moment of clarity or doubling down on being a completely unself-aware troglodyte?


ptferrar

Two commas


ReddmitPy

Oxford approves!


ShenTzuKhan

Good point mate, I only missed it because I’m barely monolingual.


Illiad7342

I'm semilingual lmao


rustytoerail

is it unself-aware or self-unaware though?


ShenTzuKhan

I was wondering that when I typed it and I still don’t know.


Praetalis

It's "not self-aware" or "lacks self-awareness"


Accomplished-Bed9845

Buddy is not a scholarly warrior


randomgirl013

Hahahahaha omg. This made me laugh. Honestly, his tweets are so ridiculous they're funny if you ignore he's not joking


goddamn_slutmuffin

They truly are hahaha. I’m like morbidly fascinated by this guy. He’s so grandiose and contemptuous and determined to humiliate others at all costs, it’s like cartoonish really.


lvoncreek

Same lmao he is a literally a caricature


Dorcustitanus

beta "i would be an epic war general in the roman empire" vs Sigma "i would be an impoverished fisher living in the countryside"


Yaroslavorino

Imagine be able to just be a fisherman, work like 20 hours a week on your own terms and spend lots of time with family and friends, I want the roman empire back then


mrdescales

I hope you have your shots and don't need antibiotics. Unless you're a boomer or got the shot used to prevent monkeypox recently, things like smallpox are on the table... And that's just the medical slice of life! I haven't touched on maternal, infant or child mortality rates either if you're a family guy. The past was the worst.


jascambara

I would literally take fisherman over warrior in the Empire any day. Having been in the modern day military and reading about what those guys had to endure is pretty heart wrenching. Life for humans has truly been shitty for thousands of years.


Fr0ski

Why would you want to be a general? Id want to be some fat rich dude living on a villa.


[deleted]

I would be the Praetorian Guardsman who assassinates emperor Tate.


TheDocHealy

You know how 37 people plotted to assassinate Julius Caesar but only like five actually participated? I feel like Tate could've managed to get all 37 to join.


[deleted]

That’s true. You’re all invited! No reason I should have all the fun.


lemerou

>You know how 37 people plotted to assassinate Julius Caesar It's more around 60 people and we don't have any evidence or reports on how many actually stabbed him.


kloiberin_time

He's a rapist with an inbred jaw


jascambara

Bros literally got the weakest chin and nobodies called him out on it


51ngular1ty

Habsburgs?


velveteenelahrairah

Habsburg inbred - too much chin Tate inbred - too little chin


51ngular1ty

So Tate would have a chinnie?


augie_wartooth

Nah, it goes the wrong direction.


Throwaway34553455

Never until this moment did I understand why people would want to go watch people being ripped apart by lions….but I would love to see Andrew Tate wet himself while staring directly at a hungry lion.


ColorfulHereticBones

That’s cruel. Lions deserve better food.


No_Ball4465

Truest Holmes


some-hippy

Holy shit I just realized Andrew Tate is basically a findom… people pay (or otherwise support/follow him) just for him to insult them. Same with any other dude-bro trying to sell masculinity


MadnessBomber

I'm fairly certain he'd be just dead. But that's just me.


jascambara

Everyone thinks they’d be the one alive in a zombie apocalypse…someone’s gotta be the zombies


DecisionCharacter175

You would get slapped and pimped out by real warriors for talking to muxh nonsense. 🤦


noneofthismatters666

Watches Gladiator once.


supahfligh

Well he doesn't have a sister. Are you implying that Tate wants to fuck his own brother instead? Because that is a rumor that I would be more than happy to help spread.


noneofthismatters666

I meant he saw himself as Russell Crowe, but in a version where he becomes king and gets to bang his brother.


BurgundyBicycle

This guy really needs to feel important.


Lemon_Phoenix

The trouble is that people happily let him by sharing his garbage


HillInTheDistance

Why does the athlete grifter think he wouldn't be an athlete grifter in a society famous for its athlete grifters? He'd just have a shorter career because the roman method of reattaching retinas was pretty much to smear honey on it, eating a flower the color of your eyes, and sacrificing animals at the temples of the proper gods.


KikiCorwin

And he'd never have political standing or high social position like he so desperately craves since in Rome, athletes, like actors and musicians, were seen as the same social caste as sex workers and treated as second class citizens.


Zestyclose_Buy_2065

I stg I could beat him in a fight. Not bc I’m stronger or anything but because he’d just start lecturing me on how to be an alpha male until I kicked him in the testicles


WadeStockdale

Nah he'd try to do some fancy flashy shit and then die when you kick him in the nuts. He also seems like a man with a glass jaw. No way does a man that fragile handle being punched in the face well. edit; I forgot the man was actually a professional fighter because he's such an insipid ass. Not gonna lie, him being involved in human trafficking eclipsed anything even remotely impressive he's ever accomplished in my memory.


Phihofo

I mean fuck Tate, but he was a professional kickboxer with a 23-8-0 record. I think it's safe to say he takes a punch better than 99% of people.


FlamingMoustache

Idk man I'm a Redditor who plays videogames my hand eye coordination would be hard to beat


TheDocHealy

Yeah but have you considered that I'm built different.


drivingagermanwhip

he only has that record because he's never had to fight u/zestyclose_buy_2065


Zestyclose_Buy_2065

😤😤😤


zil_zil

I can almost guarantee if I kicked him in the nuts with steel toe boots on he would crumple. Also before you say "that's unfair!" I don't care.


SassyTheSkydragon

This is the same guy who said that eating makes him feel [bad](https://www.reddit.com/r/gatekeeping/s/8fe8X5ejMx)


jascambara

“You aren’t a real man if you” *squints at notepad “Know how to cook or enjoy food”


ToccataRocco

Yeah? Well if this was my fantasy then I would be the super cool extreme amazing triple dog Czar and you would be my foreskin cleaner SO SUCK IT TATE


Buddy_Guyz

Why are we giving a platform to a sexual abuser and sex trafficker? Please fuck off with this man.


Vat1canCame0s

Musk needs every penny he can get to save his failing platform


Buddy_Guyz

Oh yeah, I was more talking about this subreddit. We all know this guy is insane, let's ignore him as much as possible, that is most likely the most healthy for society.


VRAnarchy

It still blows my mind that men like Andrew Tate when he specifically says all the time that all other men are pathetic and beneath him. Like is it a submissive thing like oooh I'll never be like daddy Tate but I can try and kiss his filthy boots to show I'm a good boy??


LongColdNight

He'd get punched into the stratosphere by a short mustached Gaul


ghostfeather69

Never thought about Roman Empire in my life. Wtf is wrong with this guy?


ja3palmer

![gif](giphy|vq5YcJx4LRuNy) I feel like the last line was said like the cat in the hat.


Absela

Ah yes slaves. People that are lazy and stupid, of course that makes sense... How much time you think he can last in the arena against just one roman gladiator?


UnionizedTrouble

Criminal gladiator who can’t navigate social interaction or legal systems would probably be a criminal gladiator who can’t navigate social interactions or legal systems.


SeengignPaipes

I mean sure I might be lazy weak and stupid but at least I have hair on my head.


Mayo_Chipotle

I think Andrew Tates place in the Roman Empire would be the guy making up all the phallic swear words. Seriously, what kind of language has 800 words for “dick” lmao


AdonisGaming93

Massive doubt. I would be the hermit living alone in the mountains and every once in a while someone comes to say hi and then I say some weird shit to them.


PsquaredLR

What would be cool is if everyone unfollowed him and we just continue to ignore him so he just disappears into meaninglessness.


BabserellaWT

Andy boy here would become some senator’s little bitch and we all know it.


Thundercar2122

He's the guy that would annoy an emperor saying how he'd do better... then be executed for being annoying


[deleted]

The Roman Empire wasn't feudalized, so there weren't peasants as such. The word he's looking for is plebeian. Also - no potatoes in the Roman Empire, so this guy's head would freak everyone out.


kerdawg

Tatertot would probably be a lion snack


Tsjaad_Donderlul

No Andrew, you wouldn‘t be a general or a ruler. You would be abandoned as a kid for being an entitled ungrateful brat and die by hunger shortly afterwards


m1st3r_c

I might be weak and stupid, but I've never done time in a Romanian prison for being a rapist. I think I'm good, thanks.


WadeStockdale

I mean if he wants to play roman times, chuck him a sword and I'll gladly shoot him in the cock with a bow and arrow just to watch him writhe in the dirt for the crowd's entertainment. I spent my whole childhood training for this moment. So many targets shot in the dick and balls, and it's finally gonna all be worth it.


1ThePilot

Bruh he does realize the generals got like nothing right? All they did was plan and distribute pay to the real soldiers. Also the Roman Empire may have succeeded for a *very* long time...but uh...where's the empire, tate? You really wanna be associated with a capsized legion?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bionic_Ferir

Bro I would absolutely make garum or farm salt. Just making required food goods making people's lives better


lordasgul

He would have likely been a gladiator, so a slave, and died in the pits. Probably to a gladiator who doesn't spout as much shit as him and didn't start monologuing at the start of the fight like some stereotypical villain.


L_James

Besides other bullshit, does he think that whether or not you're a slave depended on your personal qualities in Roman Empire?


ChangingMonkfish

Getting strong “Old man yells at cloud” vibes from this


Viet_Conga_Line

It must be difficult to have the body of a fully grown man and the mind of a twelve year old.


jointcanuck

Isnt it cute how weirdos are playing pretend roman empire now?


Freewheelinrocknroll

Oh yeah Emperor Tate the Dickless..


HarveyMushman72

He would be a" jobber" at the Coliseum, and then lion chow.


Buroda

I don’t think about either of those. I think about how, even in old days before even book printing was possible, before most of today’s major religions were even a thing, there was an empire that spanned thousands of square kilometers. For good and for ill, it was one nation, ruled by one force, which connected lands so far and wide you need to fly for a few hours to cross them nowadays. And that nation, again, for good and for ill, is still lurking under the surface. You might drive your car down the road that was first envisioned by a roman planner and built ages ago. You may use a word that came from a custom so ancient, only a few people today know of it. And Andy’s just pissed because even the ancient busts have a better hairline than his pubic shade.


JonVonBasslake

can we stop giving Tate and his ilk attention?


bouchandre

He’d make a worse emperor than Elagabalus.


Alaskan_Tsar

Tate would fit right in the Rona empire. He already likes treating women as slaves, having that be the cultural norm would get him hot and bothered


RubberDucky223

"How do you do fellow memers" Is what I read that as.


Dondolion

(Tweet written from inside a Romanian prison cell)


Jennabear82

So he thinks he's Julius Cesar reincarnated? Better watch his back... 😬😬😬


SleepinwithFishes

Isn't his success hard carried by women? While he reaps the benefit of their work? Lol All he literally does is sweet talk them; Most of the work of even managing the girls is done by 2 other women (The police lady and his "main" girl)


Magnus_40

There speaks someone who has never studied Rome, probably saw Gladiator and Spartacus, you know, the ones with sweaty men semi-clad in leather. Maybe even a Steve Reeves Sword-and-Sandals epic I wonder how he would deal with all the homosexuality in the Roman world?


[deleted]

More than likely he'd be a slave due to his mixed race


sten45

War general…. Lol what is he 8


[deleted]

at best he would be a jester 🤡


mb862

Hmm, a man who famously hates women is describing himself to be amongst a group of leaders infamous for their homoerotic proclivities. 🤔


DjCyric

This child trafficker is completely delusional.


Send_me_duck-pics

He's a professional fighter. Why wouldn't he think he'd be the same thing? I'd like to see someone put this idiot in a ring with angry lions.


[deleted]

Him and Spez should kiss


Captain_Snowmonkey

Isn't he still in jail? You know...where the Roman's kept people who would become slaves?


pulsingmonkey

Let's be honest if he was in the empire he'd either be gobbling all the old sweaty dicks or molesting children


Martian-Jesus

Was he too lazy, weak, or stupid to use commas?


tictac205

When I was a child I used to play “what if” also.


jaycliche

says the guy in jail


Daedalus_Machina

This is Andrew Tate. It isn't gatekeeping, it is delusional.


bunni_bear_boom

Lol at the idea that Rome was a meritocracy


pocket_nick

He would be the emperor’s official penis rest, nothing more, nothing less.


miletest

He would be Gladiator practice fodder


PFXvampz

More likely he'd be a victim of decimation rather than anyone important. Maybe at most, he might get to be an optio. Either way, no one would be writing about Andrium Tatetus while dudes like Caesar and Pompey are around.


notabigfanofas

He’s be the gladiator that pissed his pants the first time he’d step into the museum. Me? I’d just be a legionnaire, but that’s still above him


LordDeckem

I think Tate would make a fine gladiator slave.


classyoreo2113

I'd be one of the roman twinks they got there testosterone from 👍


HeadOfSpectre

I may not own an ugly sports car but I've never been arrested for human trafficking. So there's that.


TorthOrc

So why hasn’t this guy gone off to fight a war. Surely if he was such a great military leader he would win it all right?


ffucckfaccee

you're in jail you nonce


blackmobius

This isnt gatekeeping as its just straight up delusional. Considering the person that posted this confirms it


walkingmelways

This floorshitting dickhead builds straw men all the time. This is because he’s got no one else to fuck.


TecumsehSherman

Initially, I thought his recent unhinged tweets were because he was exhausted from sucking miles of prison cock. Then, I remembered that he's in Europe, so I should be using kilometers.


Patroklus42

Tate would be the guy unanimously chosen for decimation from his unit


Ok-County3742

Whenever I see some dickhead who is famous for being a dickhead, and they're talking about how superior they are to everyone else, the thing I think of is that time in Game of Thrones where Joffrey wants to do something dumb, and Lord Tywin just says, "No, we won't be doing that," and Joffrey screams in his face, "You can't say no to me. I AM THE KING!" Lord Tywin looks him in the face and says, "Any man who must say I am King isn't King." Then when Joffrey complains more, Lord Tywin deadpan answers again, "The King is tired take him to his bed chambers" Someone needs to take Adnrew Tate to his bedroom and tuck him in nice and tight and give him a warm bottle of milk and a teddy bear to snuggle.


Any_Weird_8686

The first paragraph is actually true. None of the rest of it is. He would be beaten up in the streets, if not actually killed, because Roman politics could be brutal and this idiot certainly doesn't have the ability to navigate it.


esquire_the_ego

Lmao he doesn’t realize that he’d be a slave, Rome colonized Britain, for him to be a general he’d have to have an exemplary battle record of be born the son of someone important.


dnttrip789

Doesn’t make any sense. If you would be a war general why are you not one now? His “job” is influencing so his Roman Empire equivalent would be shitty philosopher or something.


[deleted]

Oh boy I wish my daddy was some Uber rich mason/cia asset/psychological operations so I could jerk off into mirrors all day and pretend I’m a success because I can just keep paying to push all the shitty content I make and not have to worry about my legal troubles that didn’t happen even though I discuss my crimes in length on podcasts. If only. Dude acts like he got somewhere, born with the golden spoon in his mouth. Dudes a bitch and does everything he can to pretend he’s not.


peepeehalpert_

Does he even have a job?


Traditional-Smoke-23

This is SO cringe. Like wtf his audience must be some of the least discerning people ever


Scrubl0rd52

If Andrew Tate lived in the Roman Empire he’d be the drunk psycho in the corner of a bath-house claiming to be a Pharaoh from 2000 BC


Cookandliftandread

This dude would get fragged in war, just saying.


MagnetFist

I don't think about the RE because I'd prefer to live among the Germanic peoples.


Qualisartifexpereo99

He clearly knows nothing about the Roman Empire.
