Gonna say this again, but one of the defenses used by Tate fans is "BUt hE sAys StuFF ThAt WORks!!!" and that somehow justifies all the other stupidity he does. I'm not saying Tate's a good guy, but I can sympathize with them in that he
does say
some things that make sense, and i guess that serves as "bait" for all the other stupid shit. Let me bring up a diagram I brought up in an earlier argument with someone who supported him:

Yes, being told you're a whiney bitch and to get off your ass is something every teacher, parent, personal trainer, drill sergeant, etc will tell you, but idk, emotional connection or something?
That and "framing" is one hell of a drug, so even if your life is actually going shit, you feel like it's going well.
No friends? Good. The guys aren't hustlers like you, you must surround myself with hustlers!
No girlfriend? Good. The girls are all sluts anyway, and not ready for an Alpha like you, and you should find a pure virgin!
Parents, Teachers, Authority Figures think you're a lunatic? Good. They're slaves to The Matrix anyway.
No life? Burning out due to hustling 25/8? Good. That's what you're supposed to do, you're a man, you must hustle 24/7!
etc
There's also the possibility they're high on Tate farts being told constantly that they're part of a small, elite group of people fighting tHe MAtRiX
