The male feminists are not beta males. They are much worse.
There is a common narrative in the conservative sphere that the progressive men are beta males and the conservative men alphas. I think this not the case and that there are more alphabets at play.
Let’s start by introducing the alphabets. The first two we know.
α
The alphas are dominant individuals. They seek to assert their position by challenging others and putting them down. They want to lead and are not keen on making compromises but rather fight for their position. In human life alphas might become business leaders, sports heroes, military men – and quite often criminals. In a typical action movie the archetype of alpha is the boss of the bad guys.
β
The betas accept the leadership of the alpha and some degree of domination. They’d rather seek a win-win situation than risk fighting – but they are not complete losers as they are often painted. Most people probably fall into this category. In our action movie the betas are all the normal people and the side kicks.
ω
Then there are the omegas. Omegas are the very last in the pecking order. They are not only unable to defend themselves but also unwilling to do so. They try to appease the bullies and it never works. Lion tamers know that the lion in the pride that is the easiest to train is the omega, because it will try to please the alpha – the tamer in this case – by doing everything they wish. This is their only way of getting social status. They need a master and are miserable without one. The less liked the master is by the others the better it is for them - it is their time to shine. The archetype of omega is the vampire masters' human minions.
γ
Finally there are the gammas. They are interesting. People who don’t seek leadership position because they have no desire to dominate but who absolutely refuse to be dominated. They hate tyranny more than anything. This type in my opinion is the back bone of the American spirit and in a larger scale the story of the West. See I view the western civilization as a gamma-led revolt of the betas against the alphas. The idea of self-reliance and that every man should stand up for himself and if needed team up against the bullies to set them straight without becoming bullies them selves. The gamma is the lonely rider who appears in a troubled town and takes down the bad guy and his henchmen - Clint Eastwood or John Wayne kind of a figure.
What people typically call betas are actually the omegas. They are the male feminists and the white-guilt-ridden SJWs. The ones that whole-heartedly embrace any ideology that calls for destruction of these people themselves. It is the only way they can feel important and gain any status. The meals who resort to what Gad Saad reffers to as the sneaky fucker strategy. The alphas are typically also in that camp because it offers them a chance to dominate people and the progressive movement is in a very dominant position in the west these days but they are not believers in the SJW cause. They are in it for the personal gains. Some alphas are on the conservative side too, because their way is getting blocked inside the progressive movement. The conservative counter culture is young and dynamic and just a great place to gain status for an up-and-coming alpha.
The betas are the silent majority. They are still following the leadership of the progressive establishment but are smelling the change and might change sides in a heart beat given the right circumstances. The gammas are in practice all against the progressive elites because of their loathing of tyranny and the progressive bullying is getting obvious to all.
Many third world immigrants manifest alpha behavior. It is cultural. Most cultures did not have gamma-beta domination but pure alpha domination. You either had to bee a bully or get bullied. However lots of them are faking it. Most people are never alphas, but betas acting in accordance to their cultural norms. They are out of character and will break when met with resistance. Hence the term cry-bully. True alphas would always fight an even fight because only winning will do.
The Western societies have become not beta – but omega. Omega is not a natural state for most people but a person can become one is bullied, criticized, or abandoned. In other words if you are a victim. More and more people are marginalized in todays society – by the very people who loud-mouthedly announce opposing marginalization. Constantly telling people they are victims makes them victims – in their own heads – which shapes their personality to omega. People who grow up in broken families become omegas more often. Especially if grown without a father.
Traditional Western culture was a tough place to be for an omega because taking responsibility of ones own actions is their worst nightmare and that was exactly what was expected of everyone. It is not the strict gender roles they rebelled against. It was them being forced to being a reliable person. It was tough also for the alphas though arguably not as bad as for the omegas. It’s never easy hiding ones own personality. They just tried to blend in move in the shadows. The broken personality omegas could not do that and perversely the alphas came up with this scheme to “protect” the omegas from the society that was bullying and discriminating them. That is what the progressive movement eventually is. Bullies using the weakest ones to establish dominance over the majority.
The gammas have been in decline for ages. Strong masculinity has been demonized, moral relativity is blurring the lines and by education people have been turned more sensitive to public opinion. This is changing now though. More people have had enough. The betas are gamming up. Regular guys are joining national, cultural and identitarian movements and refusing to be a victim.
