The whole thing reminds me of the book "Anatomy of Evil", by Andrew Raine, and his chapter about successful "psychopaths. We could just as easily label A. Tate a sociopath or a characteropath, since the line can be blurry, you have to know the person's background, you need years of observation, etc. But I somehow doubt the "just wounded/angry" label... In Tate's case, it's not too difficult to suspect something genetic too, given his brother's "type" as well. And there's quite a sadistic side to them that goes beyong "anger and attachment issues", I think. But you never know.
Anyway, maybe most of you know this already, but Raine shows MRIs of different "psychopaths". The ones that get away with crime for a long time, usually have a better functioning frontal cortex. They are good at planning, mirroring people, etc. They ARE very smart people. They can be leaders in many fields, even good influencers, and get away with nasty deeds that are even obvious to others, because they are very convincing.
One may argue that Tate can't be that smart, since he left evidence all over the web about his creepy behavior. Well, but the whole thing has been going on since 2009, I think. AND, there won't be hundreds of women reporting him, because he seems to have kept it pretty tight, in one house, in Romania, etc. And some of the stuff is so nasty that he can always claim he was exaggerating, joking, etc. And some of the women will refuse to testify, because either they are really damaged, or they know that admitting to prostitution would get THEM in trouble. All that is quite a smart thing. Now he even has that as an argument: if he was so bad, he'd have been caught earlier, right? Not necessarily.
As to why Tucker would interview him, I guess time will tell. It's a bit unlike him that as a serious journalist, he doesn't seem to have done a thorough "background check" on Tate. Then again, maybe he was just interested in the rest of the interview, not in getting to the bottom of the accusations. But it's weird because Tate is probably lying to his teeth at the beginning of the interview. He most likely didn't just move to Romania because he liked the culture and was disappointed with the West, but rather, because he already had too much dirt in the US and the UK, and figured his operation would be much easier to run from Romania. Maybe that's just another piece of confirmation of Tate's "brains", easily mirroring and fooling another smart person?
