This blog was originally a thread. A thread that I'm now reposting here because I believe it makes for a relevant discussion. (Yes even here!)

Disclaimer: The reason this is not being posted in General or any other part of TL is because the posting quality is below standards the way I view it.

Here we go.


I've always been quite curious to see how a normal online society would react to such a distanced & distinguishable ideology. What I'm about to share in this thread is an ideology I happened to stumble upon a few months ago. It's a blossoming ideology originally formed in an anonymous message site.

Some of you know what I'm talking about. Others have no clue.

We are of course talking about the Beta Uprising.

What is the Beta Uprising you may ask? Here is a brief explanation I found from an URL whose name shall not be linked. This should help clear up questions.

"The beta uprising began as a conceptual idea to revolt against western society for the emotional grievances suffered by beta males who are ostracized and neglected by women. Beta males are a neglected minority of young adult men who have no sexual or relationship experience with women. Perceiving their lack of experience as an active effort by society to deny them a normal life, beta males in the far outreaches of the internet began spreading the idea of a violent revenge against people who lead normal lives and have had sexual experiences. In particular, beta males seek reparations from alpha males who hoard multiple sexual partners and reduce beta males’ chances of obtaining a partner, and women who deem them unfit as partners"

"The uprising materialized into a real life conflict when the late Elliot Rodgers massacred six people in Isla Vista, California in what became known as Elliot Rodger’s Retribution. Rodgers terminated two sorority girls who were affiliated with the group of women that have neglected beta males, effectively declaring the beginning of the beta uprising"

"Rodgers wrote an autobiographical manuscript detailing the same grievances posed by other beta males, but he never mentioned or alluded to the beta uprising. The beta uprising was unknown to the media until Christopher Harper-Mercer committed a killing spree at Umpqua Community College a day after announcing his intentions in the /r9k/ (ar-nine-kay) online community, the intellectual godfather of the beta uprising"

"The beta uprising is a ongoing conflict between western society and embittered beta males who have taken arms. Most beta males are afraid to take action and remain reclusive. Elliot Rodgers and Christopher Harper-Mercer are thus far the only beta males who have taken concrete action towards the reparations sought by the beta uprising movement. Unless the core demand of the movement is met–the human need for a partner–It is still possible that other young men will follow the footsteps of Rodgers and Harper-Mercer"


This is a brief explanation of what we're dealing with. Personally I think it's bullshit but the idea of sharing this was too tempting as I've wanted a "Normal" persons opinion on this.

I might also add that it's quite intriguing how people find eachother & create rogue internet societies like this. It kind of speaks something about the power of anonymity.

ill tell you how to not get laid... writing an edgy manifesto and shooting cute girls
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

lol ^ my thoughts exactly. Sounds pretty stupid.

There is a large disconnect between what they are trying to get and their method of retaliation.

Successful Example:
Want a change in government -> method: revolution/civil war -> leads to outcome: new government (because you killed the old one)

This 'beta uprising':
Want to be loved -> method: kill people until they love you -> leads to outcome: people hate you more.

"reparations sought by the beta uprising movement"

LOL.. I can empathize with the pain of being a loveless recluse, but it is laughable to call this an "uprising". Latching on to murder suicides and calling it a movement is kind of tenuous. It would be more interesting to find out why and how the so called "beta" is formed. It seems there are all kinds of opinions on this. Personally I think it's a dysfunction that needs changing rather than something that should be respected and catered to. "Betas" may not be to blame for becoming what they are, but hating others for it is like a sick person hating the well. Disguising jealousy as righteous anger doesn't make it any less ugly.

im pretty sure the vast majority of people on r9k know the beta uprising is just a meme, its just there are those out there who tip over the edge and believe they truly are owed something for what they perceive as unjust treatment of them

A Beta uprising is a bad idea on so many levels.

But this whole alpha-beta thing is far too binary.
Clearly the best male is Phi Male for their perfectly proportioned bodies.

But why limit yourself to one Greek letter, when you could be two? The renaissance man of the future is surely the Psi Phi Male.

Wouldn't the leaders of this revolution just become alpha males themselves? Thus defeating the purpose of the revolution.

Isn't that just the same underlying principle that makes people turn to other "radical" movements?

Feeling of being at a disadvantage/little self worth
Aggression towards those deemed more successful
Becoming part of a group with a strong identity
