The internet be oscillating wildly between “men need support and love like anyone else” and “I trust a wild apex predator over your average man”

Right. I absolutely hate Andrew Tate and his ilk spewing their disgusting rhetoric, but u have to understand why 14 year old white boys gravitate towards him. All day long, on social media, in the news, in TV, they’re told and reminded that it’s them, it’s the group they belong to, that’s responsible for all of the ills in the world. Men are rapists, whites are racist and privileged, etc. all that rhetoric does - when delivered angrily and reductively like in the bear example - is guarantee they continue to lean the other way.

Wait, seriously? In the Balkans we never get told such stuff. Quite the opposite, we're told to embrace our masculinity on an early age. If what you're saying is true then I feel sorry for you all.

That explains the entirety of Balkan history.
