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)

Where's the accusation? I simply stated a fact.

"If you're over 6 get tall you're taller than me" - I'm not accusing you of being tall.

"If you think bigoted things I'm going to treat you poorly" - also not an accusation. Just a fact.

That said, if you're feeling like it's an accusation, you might internally be worried that you are a bigot. But that's a problem for you and your subconscious to sort out. Nothing to do with me.

There you go making assumptions about people again. You're rather aggressive aren't you? Why so angry? Why are you always looking for confrontation? What a sad pathetic life you have.

Do you not know what "if" means?

Ah there you go making assumptions again. Stop being a little bitch.
