“Alpha male” basically translates to toxic masculinity, and “beta male” basically translates to anyone who respects other people in any way. It’s the callsign of pieces of shit like Andrew Tate, who is a human trafficker and serial sexual abuser currently in prison awaiting trial in… I think it was Croatia?
He doesn’t know what it means to be cool, so he’s hoping that just declaring that he’s cool will be good enough to make him popular.
The problem is that the kids who try this strategy almost universally cannot pick up on social cues, otherwise they would understand that it will always lead to the opposite result. People who seriously say out loud that they’re alpha males are pretty much exclusively losers or scumbags.
I think it was Croatia?
Romania?
You’re very confrontational. Don’t lie.
That’s called autism.
nope, autists don’t need that flack
Your brother is being recruited by the fascists. That is what is going on.
Toxic people that would never have had a platform for their bullshit have suddenly gained that ability in just 20 years time because of the internet. People that would normally receive a lot of fists in their face, do not anymore. The digital world is such a new thing that it’s completely unnatural for us to live with and it affects our perspectives and social lives. It simply goes way too fast for evolution to catch up to.
Without good care, it creates people that are completely delusional and deranged. Filter bubbles also add up to the problem. One that consumes content will be served more similar content, creating and feeding a very limited perspective. Because everything in the digital world is so new, there have been almost no studies in how it affects us and how it should be remedied.
Bro… Evangelical pedo clergy exited before social media…

file bankruptcy to settle it all.
Chief pedo in Vatican and his Intentional Pedo Protection Org should be liable if local pedo ring is BK’ed, or if not catholic, whoever they pay their fee too.
Beat his ass to establish dominance.
Seduce his mom!
True solution, beat him into submission so that now he’s the beta male and all of a sudden he’s denying the concept

It’s not important whether he believes in that nonsense, it’s important that he knows he’s the lesser brother.
How old is he?
Lil bitch got hopped up on manosphere podcasts… Likely due to rejection or and poor social skills.
Just tell him that alpha and beta thing does not exist in the wild. Even the author said so.

It does not apply to humans. Are you saying your brother is a wolf? Is he a furry perhaps?
Humans are more complex than that.
Yeah that argument has never dissuaded a single chud from embracing in the “alpha” bullshit. They’re being fed this bs from manosphere manipulators like Andrew Tate or someone adjacent or from peers. Their goal is to become cool and intimidating, it’s not about the bad research that lifted up this bullshit myth so long ago.
Also doesn’t apply to wolves, the original researcher just mistook a parent protecting her kids for an aggressive male
That tells you that he’s insecure about himself
kick him in the ribs, become the true alpha
It’s a furry thing
Yeah, ask him how many omega males he’s fertilised.
Andrew Tate and his cum dungeon brother are a big reason for this.
This comment section is either full of top notch satirists or the worst fucking people on Lemmy. I honestly can’t tell.
Can’t it be both?
If you want advice on how to handle this: ask questions. Ask them calmly and without any judgment. Be genuinely curious.
“What makes him a ‘beta male?’”
“What characteristics do you admire most in ‘alpha males?’”
“What characteristics do you think you have?”
“Where’d you learn about all this?”
Don’t ask them in rapid fire, pepper a question in here and there over time.
Alternatively refer to him only as “Cuck” until he stops acting like a fuckwit.
No cuck shaming please.
What are they gonna do about it? Get someone to defend their kinks better than they can while they jerk off in the corner?
Dunno, but your fixation on defending the use of a kink as an insult soulds pretty assholeish. You do you.
Ok, in fairness the second comment was a dumb joke. But I fight stupid bigots with stupid bigotry. Its more entertaining for me than trying logic and reason because as we have seen time and time again from Trumpists it plain doesnt fucking work. Fuck them, if I have to be mad listening to their dribble, Im gonna make them madder.
Someone constantly spouting off about being an Alpha will hate a dismissive “shut up cuck” and being walked off on so much more than actually respecting their stance by arguing it with logic.
I also hate bigots, it’s just that engaging in hate against non-bigots to go against bigots is unnecessary when there’s tons of other ways to go against bigots.
I never said “don’t insult the bigot pro alpha asshole”. Please do, but please don’t kink shame <3
Cucks are kinda into that though…
