    It’s shorter than ineffectual and underachieving men in their 30’s and 40’s who think everything is the fault of socialists, that everything is ‘woke’, that women are destroying the world with their notions, and who always like to blame someone else for their own shortcomings as men.

    So they admire a tinpot dictator who murders his political opponents for some reason.

    Beta.

    You're very kind, I have brought him down to Theta, actually.

    Great game of golf. I guess he is, to a lot of folks, the idea of what America the great was before it became ungreat, according to same.

    Gotta give him kudos on sounding the alarm on “da military industrial complex", for what lil' good came of it.

    I think he's admired by men who had strained relationships with their own fathers. Sadly, if they ever met him, he'd probably be just as disappointed in them as their dads were.

    Told Alexander The Great to "stand a little out of my sun" when the great Emperor, who admired the philosopher, stood in front of him and asked him if he wanted anything. Took the piss out of Plato. Wanked in public, and when called out on it said "if only it was as easy to appease hunger by rubbing my belly".

    He was probably the biggest prick ever to actually be around, but his dedication to his philosophy, which was one of virtue, was unrelenting.

    I think he used to blast people with piss too, he belongs on Boards!

    Me Da.

    Respected by all, even though they may have disagreed with him. Was always a humble man. Had a great sense of humour. Worked hard all his life. Brought himself up from the age of 10. Never went to school after that, but read everything available to him. Left "home" at 13.

    Never had a bad word to say about anyone, even if they went against him. Helped anyone that needed help. Was a force for the community raising money and building up organisations.

    I'm sorry to say it, his son (this one anyway), has not got his patience, his humility and certainly holds a grudge against people. The rest he taught me properly. Look after all, help anyone you can, help out the community and be a good person.

    Missed everyday!

    Well in software the Beta version is the vision of the future that yes may have a few little issues to resolve but overall is a major improvement on the old way of doing things and a sign of the future. The time of the leftie woke dictatorship is coming to an end just like Windows 8.

    So yeah. I'd take Vladimir Putin over Martin, Varadkar, Johnson, Van der Lyden or the other weak leaders we are saddled with.

    Try living in Russia. Your life would improve, and you won't fear anyone taking the great leader's place.

    The ultimate privilege when someone says they'd prefer an undemocratic regime to the flawed but democratic one in which they live.

    And incorrect use of the term "dictatorship".

    How can something come to an end if it never existed in the first place?

    I see what you mean, but 'Alpha male' is the term normally associated with Putin & the like, that's why Rothko mentioned it.

    I admire people who don't admire dictators and also people who don't use alpha and beta male in everyday conversation, when you see alpha/beta used you know you're dealing with a certain type of individual who's vocabulary include snowflakes, butt hurt and especially like using made up words like trumptard/libtard

    I assumed "beta" was used ironically in this thread?
