      Yeah, I’m disgusted for having to stare at his “package” because of the post title. Why did OP do this to us?

    If there is such a thing as an alpha, you can be it without a dick

      Fun fact: The whole alpha thing is bullshit, even among wolves. The study that created these terms was made with unrelated wolves in captivity (so perfect incel analogues really). In the actual wild, wolf packs have very caring family structures, centered around a breeding pair and their young.

        Even funnier fact. The alpha, beta nomenclature initially appeared from a study related to chicken pecking order. And there’s no alpha rooster, but an alpha hen.

        More info: Mech used the alpha wolf nomenclature in a classic book of wolf biology, The Wolf: Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species, which was published in 1970. But he has made a point of pushing back against the term as new research has come to light. After a years-long effort, he finally got The Wolf taken out of print in 2022, he says. The 2003 book Wolves: Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation, which he co-edited with zoologist Luigi Boitani, is now far more accurate and up-to-date, he says.

    Wouldn’t it be amazing if one day we find out Tate was actually a woman. And all his bullshit is just some twisted self hate thing

      Would be a trans man, not a woman. Unless she were mtf, in which case, honestly, not ruling it out. People who get really deeply wound with self hate to the point of insanity, and then choosing more hate, end up conservative. The loudest homophobes always end up being gay themselves, and in the most fucked up ways.

      Imagine a one dimensional spectrum where a point exists on one end. But that point has such cognitive dissonance and is surrounded by hate, fear, and ignorance to the point where “no, absolutely not. Being on that end of the spectrum isn’t real” and so whenever they see points that claim to be on that end, it’s a personal affront to them, and so beat them up. It’s actually super fucking dark what we humans put ourselves and others through.

      Used to follow his podcast and even gave money to his Patreon until Trump first term realized he was truly maga and drop him and his content. Regretted following him so long. Thought all was a joke but found hardway he wasn’t joking. But to be far Maddox who use to partner with was fucking snowflake and only follow do to the billion dollar lawsuit he filed.

    I love it how he acts so alpha and he grew up in Luton or Dunstable or somewhere in that shithole triangle of Luton/Dunstable/Houghton Regis

      I dunno. I don’t present as an alpha male probably because I didn’t grow up in a neighborhood where fronting as a bad ass was a common survival tactic.
