Your brother is on a (specifically designed and heavily funded) pipeline to being a total piece of shit (not just with misogyny, but racism, and probably queerphobia and ableism too), do what you can to get him off it. A quick search brings up what looks to be some good info to start you off:
Misogynistic influencers are trending right now. Defusing their message is a complex task
De-radicalising incels out of the ‘manosphere’ through Reddit
There are also many youtube videos on the subject, though I haven’t watched any recently, so I won’t link, but look up something along the lines of “manosphere right wing pipeline” and you should see some results.
The Alt-Right Playbook videos are an also must watch, starting here:
Fucking hell, I had to scroll all the way down here to find an answer that isn’t complete garbage.
Good news, they’re top comment, now!
Tell him calling himself an alpha is just what a beta would do. Real alphas don’t say shit about themselves, they have people who do that for them. Watch him implode.
Im a Sugma male.
Not a Ligma male?
“Any man who must say ‘I am king’ is no true king at all.”
“Alpha male” basically translates to toxic masculinity, and “beta male” basically translates to anyone who respects other people in any way. It’s the callsign of pieces of shit like Andrew Tate, who is a human trafficker and serial sexual abuser currently in prison awaiting trial in… I think it was Croatia?
He doesn’t know what it means to be cool, so he’s hoping that just declaring that he’s cool will be good enough to make him popular.
The problem is that the kids who try this strategy almost universally cannot pick up on social cues, otherwise they would understand that it will always lead to the opposite result. People who seriously say out loud that they’re alpha males are pretty much exclusively losers or scumbags.
Romania?
I think it was Croatia?
If you want advice on how to handle this: ask questions. Ask them calmly and without any judgment. Be genuinely curious.
“What makes him a ‘beta male?’”
“What characteristics do you admire most in ‘alpha males?’”
“What characteristics do you think you have?”
“Where’d you learn about all this?”
Don’t ask them in rapid fire, pepper a question in here and there over time.
Alternatively refer to him only as “Cuck” until he stops acting like a fuckwit.
No cuck shaming please.
What are they gonna do about it? Get someone to defend their kinks better than they can while they jerk off in the corner?
Dunno, but your fixation on defending the use of a kink as an insult soulds pretty assholeish. You do you.
Ok, in fairness the second comment was a dumb joke. But I fight stupid bigots with stupid bigotry. Its more entertaining for me than trying logic and reason because as we have seen time and time again from Trumpists it plain doesnt fucking work. Fuck them, if I have to be mad listening to their dribble, Im gonna make them madder.
Someone constantly spouting off about being an Alpha will hate a dismissive “shut up cuck” and being walked off on so much more than actually respecting their stance by arguing it with logic.
He’s watching toxic YouTubers like Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate.
You got opportunity here to tame him, ask him what makes one alpha?, then convince him that you are one or at least superior than him. Then, you will unlock ability to demand more share in things like food and money. But he looks like person who just argues.
Beat his ass to establish dominance.
True solution, beat him into submission so that now he’s the beta male and all of a sudden he’s denying the concept
Ask him if being an alpha male is a furry thing
Also if he likes werewolf romance novels
neutron male 😎
Alpha males are like alpha versions of software
Get him off YouTube and social media
Kick him in the nuts so hard you remove him from the gene pool permanently.
Andrew Tate.
You mean Gollum
yes
Just tell him that alpha and beta thing does not exist in the wild. Even the author said so.

It does not apply to humans. Are you saying your brother is a wolf? Is he a furry perhaps?
Humans are more complex than that.
Also doesn’t apply to wolves, the original researcher just mistook a parent protecting her kids for an aggressive male
Every time he says it ask him if that’s a furry thing.
How old is your brother? If he is an early teenager, it is possible that he picked these concepts up from somewhere and will very likely grow out of that thinking all by himself.
Twenty Two. He just started this shit. Me and my mom don’t know to be offened worried or what.
