The idea that wolf packs are led by a merciless dictator, or alpha wolf, comes from old studies of captive wolves. In the wild, wolf packs are simply families

Baboons act more like that, you know primates like us.
Bonobos, primates like us and more closely related than baboons, do not.
I mean. They are a matriarchy. So one could say the oldest is the alpha female. Who only accepts a new female in the group if she's able to sexually satisfy the matriarch. And in case you want to see what bonobo gay sex looks like... don't. It looks like two sopping tumors rubbing against each other.
Oh thank god the tumors aren't dry.
...There are a range of animal behaviors out there, and just because humans choose to identify with some more than others doesn’t mean we have to.

Aren't we all captives of society and cultural norms
The louder they are, the more fragile they are
Don't push alpha to production, silly.
So alpha males are males who are unrefined and flawed? 🤔
Beta males must be further along in development, then.
Gold males used to be pretty damn good. Now they're just as buggy as the rest, and usually need a few patches on release day.
"A delayed male is eventually good, but a rushed male is forever bad."
Yes im a alpha male: still in developement and full of flaws
I'm a bad boy. I'm a boy and am literally bad at everything :(
LTS Males are more reliable, they may still need patches though.
Fear is the primary emotion of any dude who calls or thinks themselves a alpha.
It's really funny. Real alpha males don't care if you wear a rainbow or not.
Real alpha males don't exist. The study on wolves having alphas have been proven wrong my most.othet subsequent studies.
Well...
Alpha wolves definitely don't exists, but there is support for "alpha" behaviour in primates, particularly chimpanzees.
"Alpha" is still a stupid and harmful idea, but it's not without precedent.
They also found in other chimpanzees that alphas don't exist. I think we are both in agreement that it's a stupid construct to apply to humans though.
And the biggest badasses I know also drive some of the crappiest cars and such too.
When more hilariously, here in Australia, I do a lot of hiking and such, and the badasses these days tend to be women. There's a lot of macho guys who talk big, but I've done some scary hikes with elderly women and a woman with Parkinson's.
The guys and women i.know who do the most crazy stuff also tend to be the most friendly people
'alpha males' find that they cannot use their typical lazy tools for wiping out competition when dealing with such adversaries. violence against them is unacceptable. filthy rumors aren't damaging.
Why are there so many
Rants against rainbows
And hatred of showing pride?
Look. Once upon a time a rainbow was a rainbow and everyone loved them. Then a group of people turned it into a symbol of a political movement and now a rainbow is no longer just a rainbow.
Of course some people are displeased.
The "symbol" being LGBTQ people asserting their right to exist. Without those "displeased" people, the symbol would have never been necessary.
That is nothing to what you people did to the swastika.
Those are the people that just do what told to do. They're told how to feel and think and they gobble it up. They're easy to see, usually wearing a red dunce cap and have some flags of a washed up felon in the back of their black ram 1500.
If we could just round up the political people and get rid of them the world would be a much cleaner place.

Was there always a bucket in that picture?
Maybe they were feeding the rabbit from the bucket. The rabbit just wanted some snacks, and these kids didn't like that.
Reminds me of the fight porn video on reddit recently where a sp./port. Andrew Tate elbowed someone out because another guy fell asleep on his shoulder ring the subway and he had to have a closet gay fit of felonies.
