Kick him in the nuts so hard you remove him from the gene pool permanently.
Ask him,whether this alpha beta talk is a furry thing.
Every time he says it ask him if that’s a furry thing.
He’s defective. Talk to the manufacturer about getting a replacement
Andrew Tate.
You mean Gollum
yes
Your brother is being recruited by the fascists. That is what is going on.
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.
Also doesn’t apply to wolves, the original researcher just mistook a parent protecting her kids for an aggressive male
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.
I say this as a younger brother who was beat up by older siblings. If you are both under 18 and he’s a lot smaller than you, slap him. If he thinks he’s an “alpha” and you aren’t, it might be the only thing that points out that he is just human
After you do this, please please please try to point out his error in thinking. No “alpha” commands any respect and the “alpha” bosses are the ones nobody wants to work for
“There is no such thing, if you want I can slap you around and prove you’re just a normal person if you like?”
Avoids hitting anyone and hopefully gets the point across. If it doesn’t… Wouldn’t hitting them not get it across anyways?
Young men who start to behave this way are lacking direction and aren’t self-starters. So to cope with the fact they aren’t accomplishing anything or going anywhere in life, they assume an outwardly-accusing posture.
Contrary to the image peddled by the grifters, every guy I’ve known with the “alpha” mentality has been a dishwasher, car porter, snow shoveler, or unemployed cretin.

Nitpicking, but not every rule of nature. I still need to pee :(

He’s just an alpha marking his territory.
Anyone who has to vocalize that they’re an alpha, isn’t. Your brother is a loser.
If you have to say you’re in charge, you’re not
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.
The Alt-Right Playbook videos are an also must watch, starting here:
Fucking hell, I had to scroll all the way down here to find an answer that isn’t complete garbage.
Good news, they’re top comment, now!
People are generally stupid, even more so when they’re young. Younger people are getting brainwashed by low-IQ online influencers into believing this Alpha/Beta shit.
It’s that simple.
If you want to help him, try to break his addiction to those influencers.
Did you seriously just do the same exact thing but with high vs low-iq? Was this irony intentional?
No. But I can see how someone obsessed with being obtuse as a hobby could benefit from implying that I was doing so.
Likes or death, amirite?
It’s extra funny cause iq is just as much bullshit as alpha.
every metric for intelligence is bullshit to some degree or another. Yet, some people are actually dumber than others. IQ is a concise term that gets the point across, for the sake of communication, what more do you want?
IQ is a useful test when applied correctly. Using it on individual is rarely productive, but comparing population groups with similar cultural values is very useful. Two rural towns with a 10 point difference? Maybe the chemical plant down the road is doing something. Boomers being a few points lower then Millennials? Leaded gas.
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.
Also if he likes werewolf romance novels
In this case, this should be the only acceptable explanation.
“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?
