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

Aren't we all captives of society and cultural norms
Baboons act more like that, you know primates like us.
...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.

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.
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."
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.
If we could just round up the political people and get rid of them the world would be a much cleaner place.
I'm with you there. Now because of social media it's worse than ever before. The last ten years... oof.
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.
Alpha Males 🤝 🌈
The louder they are, the more fragile they are
That goes both ways lol
how so?
'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.
Fear is the primary emotion of any dude who calls or thinks themselves a alpha.
LTS Males are more reliable, they may still need patches though.
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.
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 :(
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.
Was there always a bucket in that picture?
"We'll convert your children"
"We're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children"

No... it's definitely not fear. I can promise you that.

Nine times out of ten, it's not that anyone is scared of the LGBT community. We just recognize the negative impacts their activism is having on society (especially kids) and we get sick of having a completely contrary worldview shoved down our throats.
What kind of impacts? I've been asking people like you this question for a long time and never got a real answer.
Well grease up that throat twinkle toes, because a lot of your kids are fucking gay as hell, because that shits in the DNA, not in how ignorant and homophobic your dumbass parents are. Good luck!
Damn, I haven’t seen someone use twinkle toes that brutally since Toph
Weird, religion has been shoved down my throat and I'm not religious. You do realize you can't make someone gay right? Just like you can't make someone gay straight. How many hours per day to watch fox "news", be honest.
So what you're saying is you're scared of the supposed negative impacts on society. The negative impact being less people are depressed and less people kill themselves as they can openly be who they are without someone shoving their heteronormative worldview based on misinformation down their throats. Interesting stance to take
If you're so strong why you need the whole world for a month to back up your life decisions, lmao
But the serious answer is because LGBTQ people have been systemically discriminated against in pretty much every country
Literally the next thing in my All feed is about the previous US president having a chill time with a man who proposed stoning gay people to death

A whole month that still wont effect you in anyway.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:9 The words men who have sex with men translate two Greek words that refer to the passive and active participants in homosexual acts.
Is that the "lay with another man" bit? I'm pretty sure there's arguments over the original text, and scholars think it originally meant "don't have sex with little boys" not don't have sex with men.
It's very specific, and it's in many places across the entire Bible. It's written with the same concept, in different ways, leaving no room for misinterpretation when you read the entire thing. I just finished the new testament, can confirm it's spread across that entire thing in different ways too. Here are 3 of them:
Romans 1:26-27 (NIV):
"Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NIV):
"Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
1 Timothy 1:9-10 (NIV):
"We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine."
How many threads are you wearing? Do you kill your kids when they dont obey you? Think owning slaves is fine as long as they survive a couple days after you beat them?
