Possibly, but typically, when someone is incarcerated and posting online, they do so via an intermediary such as their attorney or a family member. One has to imagine that Tate is not managing his own social media presence even when he’s not locked up. I have no idea if that post accurately reflects the conditions he’s being held under, but I do know that it accurately reflects the conditions of millions of incarcerated people in the U.S., which is fucked and should be changed.
Tate still lied about having contact. If he didn’t have any contact, then someone wouldn’t have been able to post his words for him. He made similar posts when he was arrested in Romania. This is just a tactic for attention. Hes an abuser trying to make everyone think he’s a victim.
What’s your point? My original post started with “Fuck Andrew Tate.” I agree that he’s an abuser. It doesn’t change the fact that inhumane conditions are rife through our carceral system. How is the idea that literally everyone should have clean water controversial?
Because when it eventually comes out that he is lying his ass off for internet clout about how poorly treated he is being in prison (he has money and generally agrees with our administration - those people rarely are seeing the worst our prison system has to offer), it will make it look like our prisons treat everyone well and anyone else complaining is just trying to get attention, just like this guy.
It makes it so much harder for people actually in shitty prison conditions to get anyone to believe them, even if they have evidence it will get brushed off as exaggeration or fabricated by so many more people because “look at what happened to Andrew Tate, he claimed the same thing and then we found out he was in a room nicer than any hotel I’ve stayed at with his phone and internet access” (making a lot of assumptions there, hopefully it isn’t that, but it’s the stereotype for rich people in prison).
