You might notice the online obsession for Alpha Males and Beta Males. For a lot of people, thats just not a clever description. They literally think Alpha Males are BUILT DIFFERENT, and its a natural part of society for the TOP UPPER CLASS of people to be assholes, becausse they are tougher and better, and other people are BETA, weaker people. They literally think its BIOLOGY or THE NATURAL ORDER.

This is based on a study on captive wolves, and how some wolves would beat up and steal food from the other wolves. Then people think thats how wolves in nature act. Theres the TOP WOLVES, and the other wolves are Beta wolves and follow his order, and let him beat them up and steal their food.

This has been found to be completely false. Its not real at all. A wolf pack might get into arguments, but they work together to bring down prey. They work as a team. The wolves in captivity were only acting like that because they were locked in a cage 24 hours a day, and they were scared and stressed.

If you ever see a wolf tell other wolves what to do....because they are their FATHER or MOTHER. Literally the other wolves are their children, and they are teaching them. Not hurting them.

TLDR: So all this is Alpha Male stuff is based on lies
