Every day, I post on Facebook, with my $2000 Mac, about how Africans have a hard life. I also post about how intolerant the right wing is, and that we shouldn't tolerate that. I took out a $260k loan to attend a liberal-arts school to study African history and women's studies, where I lived in a luxurious, lavish dorm room with my LGBT roommate/boyfriend. I am now part of the Occupy Portland movement. I also think that guns should be taken away from people and that the people should be arrested for possession of firearms, yet I secretly smoke pot. Fucking cops taking our weed away and putting people in prison for simple possession.

No they are not. They are simply incomplete. Beta and Alpha are valid modes of successful ego operation.
We also have Gamma, Delta and Omega, but nobody talks about these seeing as they're even bigger losers than betas are. You see, they are unsuccessful modes of ego operation.
Betas almost always get a pass simply by working towards something worthwhile. Even the bench warmer of a championship baseball team is going to get laid purely as a result of participating in something bigger than himself. It's a fucking fact. These groups don't have this respect saving quality.
Anyways, that's how it is. Not my fault others on the Internet are smarter than you, and actually recognize the utility of these classifications. You can suck a dick for all I care.

I'm 'beta' as fuck, but I have a girlfriend and I got laid 2 hours ago. Alpha and Beta are just terms people use on the internet to make themselves feel better and put others down. That is pointless, and unnecessary.

lololol I’ll bite because the arg is hilarious
> Every day, I post on Facebook,
I joined Nov 2004 when it was very useful at college. I post frequently to keep up with family and coordinate events with friends.
> with my $2000 Mac,
It’s not my MBP.
> about how Africans have a hard life. I also post about how intolerant the right wing is, and that we shouldn't tolerate that.
I post pictures, Like posts, and shitpost in comments. The only political stuff I post is links to essays and articles.
> I took out a $260k loan
My five years of undergrad tuition, fees, and books cost about $35,000 and was fully paid by my parents. I paid about $40,000 across those years—from savings and earnings—for most of my living expenses.
> to attend a liberal-arts school
I attended a land-, sea-, space- and sun-grant school. I was in the College of Liberal Arts, in a professional program within the Department of Art. I also got a business minor.
> to study African history and women's studies

I helped them with media stuff, because few had experience with it and my background couldn’t be used for ad hominems.

Sometimes it's putting people down, but it doesn't have to be. Simple as saying there are leaders and followers. No judgement, you can be whichever works for you.

I'm not even mad. I wrote it because I was inspired by the wonderful pro-government strawman copypasta. And it wasn't even targeting you. I just chose Portland because it's full of wealthy liberal white teens. > My five years of undergrad tuition, fees, and books cost about $35,000 and was fully paid by my parents.

You know what? That's not that bad. I've seen much worse here, where kids come back from college and they're left with 80k of debt that can't be solved with bankruptcy anymore. >legalize decadence ron paul 2012 smoak weed erry day blunts n forties bruh
