So one public-spirited gentleman who calls himself retturd has a question for the alpha dudes of the Ask The Red Pill subreddit: Is volunteering seen as blue pill? Retturd assures the assembled color-of-pill experts that “I love volunteering and helping people in general.” He just worries that being so helpful might be seen as terribly beta.
The regulars assure him that volunteering is perfectly fine for alphas. As long as they’re careful about just who they are helping. Helping old dudes and learning from their old-school alpha ways? Perfect. Helping poor people? Not so much:
Also, helping kittens is right out, unless you’re Elon Musk. Or at the very least a sharp-dressed swole dude.
DO YOU EVEN LIFT KITTENS, BRO?

Sometimes I forget just how stupid the conversations are in the manosphere.
Really? Because I thought it was all about your own perception of reality being “true” and seeing things how they “really are”. But no, it’s all about ensuring everyone perceives you as an alpha and lying about yourself to achieve that.
Speaking of bullshit, how have you not talked about Matt Walsh yet?

Those are just a few examples of the shit this guy is spouting.
When I listen to this song, Ima think of these pathetic dudes and laugh. They’re so desperate for approval.
Gah, that begging kitten gif is so cute, I can hardly contain myself…squeeee!
Alright, now that I have that off my chest: so let me get this straight. Alpha-maling is all about not caring what others think, except that it is about caring what other people think, and red pill is all about self-improvement but really it’s about others’ perceptions of you? I’m so confused…my lady brain is about to asplode. Or is it that my B.S. meter is maxed out…?
@A.A. Wils
Tell a computer everything you say and it’ll explode.
Sadly, or maybe happily (?) the “crazy ex” meme has enough social traction that it’s used by lots of men who are not generally monstrous. Yes, it’s essentially never an unbiased judgment on the real story, but I wouldn’t assume that it’s cover for abuse. My personal assumption when a man mentions a “crazy ex” is more like “we were personally incompatible in ways that aren’t really anyone’s, but I’m going to rewrite history in absence to valorize my own part.”
anyone’s fault
I though Alpha or Beta was was you WERE. Something intrinsic in your character.
Or is it based on making people THINK you’re Alpha?
I can’t imagine any action LESS Alpha Male type than debating the rubric of if you’re manly enough to help at an animal shelter or not.
@theboost, I actually thought these dudebros were there acknowledging they are inherently betas who “need” to learn how to be alphas to get ladeez.
David, hope all’s well.
Yep, that Matt Walsh guy is lost. He has just enough vocabulary to make someone think he knows what he’s talking about but not enough brains to actually say anything that makes sense.
Let me guess, Walsh never served one day in uniform, did he?
This guy actually does lift kittens. Total beta move:
Even by their own definition, if you care about being an alpha, you’re not one.
Shorter: Men are victims of toxic masculinity and misandry! Solution: More toxic masculinity! And misandry from MEN!
CITATIONS NEEDED.
Also, as has often enough been pointed out elsewhere on this site, 3/4 of all suicide attempts that “succeed” are male, because men tend to use more violent and destructive methods (likely as a result of not being conditioned to preserve their good looks at all costs, as women are). But for every male to succeed at suicide, there are numerous women who try and fail. Maybe because they use a less lethal method to preserve the appearance of their corpses; maybe because they wish to avoid any further pain; or maybe, just maybe, as a last-ditch cry for help (which I’m sure Paulie would interpret as just more damselling, drama-queening, and attention-seeking on the part of those attention-whorey feeeeeeemales.)
But in any case, female despondency is real, and huge, and probably outpaces that of males by a wide margin. More women are hospitalized for severe mental illness than men. Does THAT rate a mention here by His Nibs? Nope. Instead, it’s all kvetching about how experts are advising women to divorce. As if women didn’t come to the conclusion on their own, and on the basis that their husband was a gaslighting, abusive, neglectful jackass.
Oh, big of you to put the onus on women, Paulie. Like we haven’t had it on us since fucking FOREVER. When are you going to emphasize a need for greater character and integrity in your own gender, BTW? Or is that only important in feeeeeemales?
Excuse me, Paulie, didn’t you say something earlier about how much men suffer when women are “counselled” to divorce them? Just what the flying fuckity-fuck is this, anyway?
And if we’re to go by Paulie’s “modelling”, the ideal man is a misogynistic, drunken, drug-abusing, deadbeat who sponges off his girlfriend so he can sit on his ass blogging crap all day, and accuses his ex-wife of infidelity when one of his army buddies RAPED her. Wow. Quite the model of manhood, that!
I haven’t seen anyone else mention this, probably because I’m so oooold.
All this checking with your unseen friends on the internet about whether you do or don’t meet their unmeetable standards rings lots of bells. It’s far, far, too much like mum-granny-auntie peering through lace curtains and wailing at offending child/ teenager in the back ground who’s apparently wearing, doing, thinking about doing, something unsuitable…
What will the neighbours say!!
One must always worry about the super alpha red piller Gladys Kravitzes.

As for Paulie’s approach to “counselling”, “consulting” on “practical” ways to help men. He should perhaps have a look to see if he or any of his potential “clients” could do like the Australians do and set up a Men’s Shed as a source of male friendship and support. http://www.mensshed.org/home/.aspx
Of course, this probably goes too far into that forbidden activism sphere. But even if he doesn’t want to do it, there’s no good reason why others shouldn’t do such useful things.
Bina, that was magnificent. Thank you.
Bina,
Spot on. Women are also conditioned not to leave a mess for other’s to clean up.They are less likely to have hand guns laying around the place too. Macho bullshit kills.
They are just so….umm…Lame. Just lame. Quite pathetic, really.
@Bina
Speaking of AVfM and suicide, have you seen this video? A contributor to AVfM calls in to Sam Seder’s show and wants to discuss how feminists apparently lie about women trying to kill themselves.
So the next time I’m volunteering at an animal shelter and some random dude starts spewing MRA bullshit at me, I can tell him off for being a bad redpiller because a “true alpha” wouldn’t “lower his SMV” by ingesting adorable, precious kitten cooties?
…yeah, can’t see how these dudes actively avoiding contact with kittens can possibly be a bad thing. The kittens deserve better, anyway.
