My younger brother keeps saying he is an Alpha male and bad mouths who he thinks are Beta. Can some one please explain to me what the hell is going on? (self.explainlikeimfive)

Beat his ass to establish dominance.

True solution, beat him into submission so that now he's the beta male and all of a sudden he's denying the concept

you would only be reinforcing the perception of alpha/beta roles that dont actually exist unless they're enforced.

It's not important whether he believes in that nonsense, it's important that he knows he's the lesser brother.
