“No longer acts like a child” actually means “we’re going to traumatize your child so that they prematurely lose their childlike idealism and become cynical like the rest of us”

Them saying "flip the switch" is actually really fitting. Because when then turn ON the alpha mentality they also turn OFF every woman in a 100 mile radius.

The instructor roasting tf out of the men while he rolls past them on a hoverboard is peak unintentional comedy 💀💀💀

Imagine not having an abusive father and being like "I really missed out, lemme drop 20K to get the experience"

Imagine paying $18,000 for someone to make your insecurities worse and then torture you because of a buzzword.

Become "alpha" by fully submitting to a more "alpha" man and paying him for the privilege. It's like the bully said "Give me your lunch money and you'll be like me one day."

Paying 18k for like 1% of boot camp when you could go to the military and get paid 18k for 100% of the experience is crazy imo

2:33 i really want to know how he would've responded if he said "yes sir its a medical condition". like would he drop character? or is he too "alpha" to apologize

I once heard an ex-evangelical woman talk about her abusive father going to one of these "self-improvement" boot camps at the recommendation of their church leader. When he came back, he was no less abusive, but now he had the suffering he paid to go through at that camp as a new weapon to use against his children and wife. Whenever they would cry or get angry at him for how he treated them, he would pull out the vanity dog-tags that the boot camp gave him and yell that they didn't understand what pain was, none of them were going to belittle him or diminish him anymore because he had "been through too much", etc. It seemed that he had essentially purchased a traumatic experience to hold over his family members heads, to diminish their own suffering and fear of him.

Maybe it's uncharitable, but I do wonder how many similar cases these camps create. These men are essentially paying to be screamed at, belittled, threatened with violence, and emotionally broken down by an authority figure, and are told that it is a positive character-building experience to be treated this way. How many of them then go home and become that authority figure to their families--who did not pay for the privilege, and can't leave?

Keeping people cold, miserable, hungry and sleepless while yelling insults at them and taking their money? Wooww... That definitely does not sound like brainwashing or psychological manipulation at all!

"no longer acts like a child"
reminds me of
"you're mature for your age"
"thanks, it's the trauma"

Fun fact: actual drill sergeants are not allowed to swear at recruits, so these guys are just LARPing

The fact that men are willingly paying thousands to put themselves through ACTUAL ABUSE just to feel “manly enough” is honestly very depressing. Putting children through that as well is absolutely vile.

The process to becoming an alpha, a leader of the pack, a big bad boy who don't take no guff from betas, involving nothing but being insulted and following the orders of someone more intimidating than you is so hilariously ironic

Men-
Being abused isn't okay. It won't make you stronger and more of a man. Being shamed for existing and ignoring your body's needs won't make you tough, it'll make you traumatized and miserable

"Serial entrepreneur" sound like a fancy way of saying failed business owner multiple times

Nothing says "Alpha" to me like a man who lets another man yell at him and tell him what to do, and pays him 18k for the pleasure.

Chad screaming at a clone of herself to do push-ups and then immediately jumping into the intro is very on character

This dudes philosophy of “if they suffer they will be better!!” is literally the same thing that Jigsaw from Saw thinks.
