Simplifying Complexity, One Answer at a Time!
Rules
Your brother currently is a little loser who listens to the sad little men like Andrew Tate who talk about aloha and beta and have no fucking idea what they're talking about. He can be alright, he just needs to get out and touch grass, interact with real people, interact normally with girls... He'll be fine.
He's a beta cuck. Real alphas don't have to go around proclaiming their alpha status and receiving praise and validation from betas and other "alphas".
All alpha maleism is categorically insecurity. For each of them it's different. Figure out exactly what he's trying to bury under all this tate shit and address it directly. It could be the onset of male loneliness, that shows up around the teenage years - lasts forever though if he's aware he can make changes. It could be he's insecure in his own sexuality - just get him to open up and take everything he said to the grave with you. There could be a person or activity the betas engage in that he can't, or is afraid of being made fun if. Teach him how to stand up to that shit and grow through it.
I'm not suggesting you punish your bro in a way that would enable this behavior further. It's hard to be an alpha type when you're showered in love and support- it just looks stupid. He's probably going through some of the first real life shit, and handling it poorly. As his sister you're kinda on the hook for helping him through this. If you do, you'd probably have a better brother and friend.
disgusted to see "just hit your brother" so sentimentally popular. Please dont abuse your family members as a method to disabuse them of their indoctrination. how would that work? seems pretty obvious to me it would only reinforce the view that alphas are stronger than others and can get what they want through violence. it's a humorless joke at best and terrible advice at worst. shame on anyone who made the remark, and shame on all those who voted it up.?
op, check out fd signifier.
Get him off YouTube and social media
Re-educate him & show that Alphas don't live that long
NGL I called myself a bad dude as a teen. Said it to the wrong person and got ego-checked real hard in the face.
Let him know he's gonna get Alpha'd one day.
next time he says that just slap him hard. And ask him who's the alpha now?
this would just reinforce the conditioning that alphas are strong and get what they want through violence.
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.
Just beat his ass lol
Ask him if being an alpha male is a furry thing
Skip a step and just buy him some furry romance novel like "alpha of my heart" or whatever (I will not be googling for options, no shame but I don't need that in my history)
Give it to him and tell him you support him and he's really brave to be himself in front of you and others.
In this case, this should be the only acceptable explanation.
Also if he likes werewolf romance novels
Andrew Tate and his cum dungeon brother are a big reason for this.
Your brother is on a (specifically designed and heavily funded) pipeline to being a total piece of shit (not just with misogyny, but racism, and probably queerphobia and ableism too), do what you can to get him off it. A quick search brings up what looks to be some good info to start you off:
Misogynistic influencers are trending right now. Defusing their message is a complex task
De-radicalising incels out of the ‘manosphere’ through Reddit
There are also many youtube videos on the subject, though I haven't watched any recently, so I won't link, but look up something along the lines of "manosphere right wing pipeline" and you should see some results.
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.
"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.
It’s called the manosphere, and it’s a bunch of bad podcasters and YouTubers giving shitty advice on how to be a man to insecure kids. It’s annoying because it’s so stupid on its face and yet it’s working.
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.
How old is your brother?
He wants girls to think he is cool but has received bad advice
He’s watching toxic YouTubers like Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate.
Tell him calling himself an alpha is just what a beta would do. Real alphas don't say shit about themselves, they have people who do that for them. Watch him implode.
"Any man who must say 'I am king' is no true king at all."
That would probably just stop him from sharing. He would still keep consuming the harmful content
