I'm torn.

His audience are the people that have been left behind in society - especially in a time where men are demonized so heavily. He speaks the taboo truth about life, which pulls his audience in. He then upsells them "hope as a service".

Before I can say one way or another on his character, I'd have to know if he believes in the hope he is selling or if it's just a con to absorb profits from a mostly untapped audience.

Something never sat quite right with me about Tate. That doesn't mean I think he's a trafficker, but it wouldn't shock me if we learned his Bugatti addiction isn't just funded by his business ventures.

And then there is the other entirely real possibility - he pissed off the wrong evil people in power. His actions and reach are counter-narrative at such a level I'm surprised they haven't had a stronger takedown of him before now. Wouldn't be the first victim of that by a long shot.

I guess we'll see how it plays out.
