I’ve had a few life challenges this last 10 days or so, and was this close to letting this go, since I’m going have to take a long break from the forum.
Fuck it.
Ruckus. This is as good as place as any, because there’s far more eyes here. I know this is bullshit drama, but this has to publicly play out to get some fucking peace, quiet and
functionality around here.
Guys, you’re all seeing the dysfunction now, aren’t you? If you want to understand exactly what is wrong with Hydro, read on, but firstly, anyone who didn’t see Hade’s thread should start here and keep reading to catch up. Note his and my interactions, and how other people start to see. Pay particular attention to the context, and my words.

Forgive the length. There’s a lot to cover.

It turns out people erring on the side of compassion for Hades were right and you were wrong.
If you can't apologize to Hades or Hannibal, could you at least just wish them well and drop it?
This is the core of the problem. Hydrogonian’s particular psychological issues mean he’s incapable of admitting he’s wrong or showing humility.
Those familiar with Vox Day’s Social Sexual Hierarchy should understand the concept of the Gamma Male. I’ve spoken about it at length on here due to trying to understand a work collaborator who, outwardly, seemed talented, but, inwardly, seemed to constantly seethe with a furious Ressentiment at being shown to be wrong, to have it pointed out what he’d missed, and how to fix it.
This intense, passive-aggressive anger towards looking socially-inferior, even for a second, meant he was prepared to burn things to the ground, rather than humility and learn from his mistakes. This is what Aurini was dealing with last year when his Gamma Collaborator Jordan Owen sunk ‘The Sarkeesian Effect’, fucking over Aurini and their Investors. Aurini moved to a better place after it, by recognising the guy as toxic and moving on. As such, I learnt a lot from him and realised I was being controlled by the fear of a negative outcome, so it was better to just force the issue, abandon years of work and move on, just to be free of the guy. This is how poisonous they are.
So, yeah, they’ve been on my mind lately, as my repeated posts on the subject have shown. I recognise there’s a few in my life that I’m forced to interact with, and I’m an easy-going enough guy that I would let their shit slide, but I’m at the stage where I can’t enable their bullshit any more. It’s important when you see them, to call them out, even at the slightest chance that might see themselves not as they imagine to be, but how everyone else actually sees them, that might force self-awareness to realise they don’t have to keep being what they are. They just need to accept reality.
Gammas are men, who fundamentally believe themselves to be of higher social status than they actually are: no-one is more popular, intelligent, successful, better with women, or more accomplished. They believe they are irrefutable masters of logic, and have a deep understanding of any topic being discussed. Sometimes they can be talented, or look outwardly-successful enough, but it’s their mind that holds them back. Sadly, they actually think they’re Alpha Males, despite all observable evidence to the contrary that other men, and particularly women, don’t really like them much. Vox calls this the ‘Secret King’ mindset.
As such, when anyone pops this bubble of delusion by outshining them, the Gamma forms a deep psychological hatred for the person doing it and fixates. That person is ‘stealing’ the attention that is so rightfully theirs! Whatever their obvious and observable achievements are – fame, success, money, beautiful women - they couldn’t possibly-deserve it. This is particularly true with women. The hot woman would obviously have chosen the Gamma, since he’s the True King, so the only reason why she’s with the Alpha is that he’s someone tricked her into not seeing what he is.
All this results in various, identifiable passive-aggressive behavioural patterns, with a tedious, wearing predictability.
Here Vox outlines the Gamma Fantasy:
Quote:Gamma. No one knows how special he is. The Alphas unfairly rule and keep him down by trickery. Even the girl he loves in a way no woman has ever been loved before doesn't realize how special he is or how happy he would make her if only she would let him. Bad people treat him badly and unfairly. But through his clever wit, the Gamma makes fools of everyone through always having the perfect thing to say, culminating when he totally humiliates the Alpha and reveals him to be an unworthy paper tiger in a brilliant verbal exchange front of everyone, including the girl. The Gamma is finally recognized as the true First Man in Rome by everyone as the girl shyly confesses that she has always seen and admired his specialness. He calls her "milady" and roguishly offers her his arm as everyone looks on enviously and applauds the smoothness of his style.
Also:
Quote:I've noticed that a number of people who are skeptical of the socio-sexual theory keep making the same mistake. They focus on the labels, rather than on the observed behaviour to which the labels are applied.
There is no doubt that Alphas exist. There is no doubt that Gammas exist. We know this because we see them exhibiting the differentiating behavior in action on a daily basis. It doesn't matter what they are called; although the terms have become descriptors and predictive behavioral models, they are derived from actual behavior observed and recorded by others.
So, don't get caught up in the descriptors, their status implications notwithstanding. They are only there to label the various behaviors being observed.
So all this becomes about observation and predictability in behaviour.
One thing I suspect Vox hasn’t considered yet is how Gammas function as females rather than males. There’s a sneering bitchiness to the way they act, and they favour feminine tactics for social advancement. One thing I noted about a Gamma in High School was he always favoured the bands girls were into, and the movies they liked, thinking it would help him get into their pants. He’s the only guy I’ve ever seen who dotted his I’s with circles – a common teenage girl affectation.
As such, when a member speculates in the ‘What Do Members Look Like Thread’ that Hydrogonian looks like Harrison Ford teaching a class – a respectable enough thought construct any man could be proud to hear – Hydrogonian speculates how he actually looks like Jack Donovan, whom, despite his homosexuality, has some respect in the manosphere.
This is where the Ressentiment kicks in, because the Gamma has to explain how he is Jack, but
more so, whilst Jack is actually
less than he is.
’Hydrogonian’ Wrote:Oddly enough, I'm much closer to this but without the Asatru biker-gang-member LARPing, the probable steroid usage, and the homo (this being Jack Donovan)
Jack’s a paper tiger and Hydro has cut him down. Whereas, I look at Jack, see his obvious gains and understanding the discipline it takes to achieve that, I only think
respect. That’s because I’m not operating from a place of social insecurity where, like a woman, I need to cut down my opponent.
That’s why, when one member who knows me posted a pic in that thread, I mocked the picture as looking like a ‘pussy’, knowing he’d get the joke, since I know the situation he’s directly-referring to. I’m able to make fun of myself, something a Gamma can’t do.
The Jack comment? That comment is a high school fatty sneering at the cute jock she can’t have, trying to convince everyone
how much she doesn’t care about him, because he’s beneath her. Keep that fat girl association in the back of your mind through the rest of this essay.
As an aside: any guy with any serious mass will hear the classic Ressentiment tells from other men and women – how you’re obviously on ‘roids and are overcompensating for something.
This Ressentiment between a Gamma and his Alpha trigger is why Jordan Owen made multiple hour plus videos triggered by Roosh, trying to show how Roosh couldn’t possibly-deserve his sexual success.
This is where John Scalzi writes multiple fisked takedowns of Vox Day, trying to show how just inferior and unimportant he is to Scalzi.
It’s where Dan Bilzerian sleeps with Ryan DeLuca’s girlfriend, and DeLuca gets all morally-superior to him, and tries to prove he’ll be a better person – classic female behaviour.
All of them living rent-free in the Gamma mind.
Anyway, that’s the controlled passive-aggressive sniping. What’s interesting is what happens a Gamma is not just outshone by someone with greater social status, but directly called out for their incorrect knowledge or passive-aggressive bullshit. This is where you get the full breakdown of narcissistic fury, something Matt Forney has written about at great length and knows how to reliably trigger. This is where a person becomes so enraged by a narcissistic injury that they lose all control. Relating this to Freudian theory, this is where someone forgets to hide their polite face for reasons of social status, so you get to see the Uncontrolled Id in furious flight, raging at the world.
For example, 4,500 words of rage, pointing out just exactly how right they are and how wrong all their critics are, in furious, obsessive detail, way past the point of most observers caring, which was, frankly, deeply-embarrassing to observe.
Of course, Vox identifies a classic Gamma tell as their repeated claims of ‘not caring’. Note LeBeau’s comment in the Hades thread.
Quote:The rest of us see through your words becuase if you truly "didn't care" you wouldn't keep mentioning that, and you wouldn't keep investing in this thread about someone you have no business speaking about.
You're trying to turn attention towards yourself rather than someone who needs help.
And to back up what Bosch was getting at, it's consistent with your post history since you seem obsessed with being some sort of oracle and always proving to others that you are right and wise.
You post grand predictions and conspiracy theory in so many threads as if you, and only you, could possibly analyze the world properly, and that we should all recognize how confident and prescient you are.
I'm not buying it.
He knows he’s seen something ‘off’ about Hydro, and has correctly-identified Gamma behaviour, without directly calling him Gamma.
Other members have seen his vast overreactions – trigger into narcissistic fury - and called him on it, so you get a lot of this thing:
’Hydrogonian’ Wrote:That post took me about ten minutes to write, and another five to edit.
i.e. “See how little I care?”
Quote:Do it or don't do it. It isn't a concern.
i.e. “I don’t care.”
You’ll see this again and again. “I don’t really care and this isn’t important at all but…”
Quote:Then
You
Quote:Get
Constant
Quote:Fisking
Addressing
Quote:Multiple
Tiny
Quote:criticisms
Fisking is standard behaviour amongst Gamma social circles – you’re guaranteed to see it on social justice warriors and leftist forums. Elsewhere: who has the fucking time? This is why I generally just scroll past Hydro’s sperg-outs.
So, remember, the Secret King will vomit multiple walls of text refuting (with Gamma Logic: shifting goalposts, focusing on minor digressions, outright ignoring criticism) every possible point of attack in an opponent's argument, then follow it up by stating
how little they care about the argument to begin with.
The concerns of the Peasants are beneath the King, because they are seeing reality very different to their audience:
’Hydrogonian’ Wrote:Me "being a dick" seems to = guys not being able to quite put me in my place in either a debate or a heated argument.
Or here:
’Hydrogonian’ Wrote:At least four of you I whipped, handily, in debates mostly over "Red Pill" issues in this thread having to do with either globalism or hostility against Europeans. I get it, but let it go. I have.
Whereas withdrawal in weary disgust isn’t the same as being conquered. This lack of social awareness is how they never quite realise the clam-cringing effect they’re having on women. (Also note that once again, he’s telling us he doesn’t care).
Something else Vox frequently calls out is the Gamma Dismissal of Authority that doesn’t recognise his obvious superiority.
’Hydrogonian’ Wrote:I've apparently hit another forum wall wherein there exists a bizarre cult of personality, or forum values that I'm unaware of or otherwise don't care about (shutting up because of an internet personality's "authorship" and his admirer's perception of his "life experience"), that the cultists wish me to defer to in an effort to limit speech.
Note how if he doesn't get recognised as superior by the traditions and rules of the forum, then
the rules of the forum aren't important to him. Once again, note he’s telling us just how much he ‘doesn’t care’.
Also note the attempt to pathologise opponents - 'bizarre cult of personality' - thereby dismissing them outright to himself and others, as any good Leftist would do.
Hell, it's almost like Higher-Repped members have
unearned Privilege, and challenging them is speaking
Truth To Power.
I wrote a post recently saying how I believe that Gammas are Natural Socialists.
Vox Day always calls Gammas the Irrefutable Masters of Logic:

He’ll frequently-criticise others for ‘rhetorical attacks’.
Said logic in action:
Quote:Now you're just throwing your feces around.
Quote:This is a particularly misleading comment.
Quote:I'm unsure how
Quote:I'd be shocked if
Quote:Your assumption is arrogant and silly.
Quote:An absolutely a historical broad stroke that is a favorite of Leftists
Quote:A smart man such as yourself should know that this is a ridiculous question to ponder
Quote:but I'll again grant you your success in being able to give a "grand speech" ring to your essay.
Quote:Oh for fuck's sake.
Note the pedantic and patronising tone, the hypocrisy, and the weasel word framing. “Again I’ll grant you” – another classic Gamma tell is their delusion of having superior status. You’ll usually get things like “Now run along…” and “Have fun, kids” at the end of their pronouncements, which is ridiculous when their writing shows such obvious weakness.
Also, note the sheer
pettiness on display. I mentioned this in another post recently about how my Gamma Stepfather was triggered by something as Petty as me reliably being given extra food I didn’t want by a girl up at my local Fish and Chip Store whenever I ordered food for my Brother-in-Law.
This is not how socially-secure men act.
Which leads to Projection:
Note he accuses his opponent of being – the word he wants is – ‘grandiloquent’, whilst doing the same thing.
Gammas, like Social Justice Warriors, always project.
Quote:Could it be because your post is about you?
Why would he be so invested about being right about Hades?
Quote:The thing about Hades is that he's putting on a show. He's not sincere. He's trolling you for his own amusement. Thus, he's not entertaining. He's distracting. Every time someone concern-counsels him they're being successfully played for ENTERTAINMENT. But also probably a little bit of narcissistic supply, which the obviousness of the joke, I'm sure, makes a little more sweet. That he's playing around is quite obvious.
The thing is, projection can reveal motivation. This is the usefulness of Vox’s Theory at both observing and predicting behaviour. I’ll come back to this.
Note, after I triggered him the other day with what I thought was an obvious and open statement about his sad and petty nature, he accused me of ‘passive-aggression’ and ‘anger’, projecting himself onto me. This is great. This is how they reveal themselves and their psychological weaknesses.
Quote:Enjoy your passive-aggressive posturing, and stewing in your obvious anger. It's pretty "sad" that you now wait for any opportunity to attack me, stalking me across threads. That's a lot of emotion. It's gotta be a hard way to live. Good luck with it.
As an aside, by now I read everything he says in Eric Cartman’s voice. It’s much funnier.
I showed one of my associates the email, and he said “Woah, you’re right. Gammas really do think like women.” Read it again. That’s a strong and empowered basic bitch sassy head nod as she triumphantly dumps you, (inevitability ‘accidentally-texting’ you months later then later saying “so, how are you doing?”) Showing you just how much they no longer care about you?
So, why am I discussing his behaviour with other members?
This is the thing about being an INTJ personality type. I can’t help but notice things. Every tiny observation gets filed away in memory. I see without always consciously-seeing, so at first one or two things mightn’t raise an eyebrow, but then later I can suddenly-recall connections between experiences months or years apart and reach a very deep understanding.
I have an incredibly-smart INTJ mate who reaches understanding almost instantly. It’s humbling to hear him slow his brain down to explain things to me, leading me through the interim steps he doesn’t need to make to see connection. Unfortunately, I’m not that blessed.
So, one or two statements I might read but only see unconsciously and instinctively know something if off but as certain patterns keep repeating, those observations come back and I see the clear patterns.
As such, Hydrogonian’s pattern of deep resentment towards the highly-repped members came together tiny observation by observation. In the NTP thread, subversion was being discussed and I identified the exploitable fracture point of the forum being the Reputation system:
Quote:If Trust is Paramount, then overhaul the rep system and base it on a Verified Interaction Ranking.
Losing out on Forum Status would be the necessary sacrifice those of us who value privacy would have to make. I'm willing to toss out my rep points and be back on the bottom of the deck it leads to a more harmonious structure where everyone isn't immediately calling each other out or accusing people of running multiple accounts when things like this happen.
Of course, since I called out 'DecentFella' for trying to target the Rep System as an Obvious Fracture Point the other day, now I'm wondering if I'm trying to sabotage forum harmony by suggesting this.
You can see how dangerous Paranoia is.
Maybe a simpler solution is that we need to simply consider the Rep System and Forum Titles for what they are: a sign that a poster has had a high number of posts people enjoyed, for one reason or other, and place no more value on it than that, because, as long as we do, it can be exploited by those targeting us to create forum disharmony.
Which of course, could still be me suggesting sabotage.
Now, this is a classic example of how INTJ’s operate on both a conscious and unconscious planes of reality simultaneously. I read that post above and wondered, “Huh, who was DecentFella?” then went back to look. Ok, (s)he was a now-banned Subversive I routed out. I would have let it my routing them out slide, but I fully-explained why I did what I did because a few members thought I was being a bully due to my status.
https://www.rooshvforum.com/thread-55735...pid1302169
It’s really worth reading that whole post to understand why this is happening now. See how my unconscious mind recalled the NTP post, which led me to a clear illustration of the current situation, offering me further depth of understanding.
As such, if you’re trying to get away with something around an INTJ, don’t draw attention to yourself.
Now, Decentfella read to a woman, but notice the latter block of tells that triggered my suspicion that are also applicable here, and how Gammas act like women.
Quote:- overdramatic and theatrical presentation, i.e. 'Brothers and Seniors...' (grandiloquence itself isn’t a bad thing if a person has the intelligence to back it up but midwitted-grandiloquence is the tell you’re looking for)
- accusations of cult-like thinking (i.e. don’t follow the leaders, sheeple!)
- sermons from the cross: i.e. "I guess I'll continue to do so being active or inactive" (persecution complex)
- 'you laughing at me means I'm actually winning': " I definitely did touch quite a few nerves". (the secret king always wins)
- sowing seeds of conflict: "can confirm that from the sounds of it No Alpha or True Player or a Casanova has replied to this thread yet." (targeting The rep system)
- "Even though I said I don't care, I have to get the last word in so you realise just how much I don't care!" (I DON’T CARE ABOUT WINNING!)
I’ve mentioned examples of these in Hydrogonian’s posting above, but you can easily spot them in any post where he’s triggered.
The persecution complex one is interesting, because, again and again, I would see evidence of his Ressentiment to those who have High Levels of Respect here (rep points, observable real world accomplishments, or verified by multiple members). Remember, his underlying theme here is unearned privilege and speaking truth to power, when really, it’s just the fat girl, tearing down the Prom Queen whilst secretly dreaming of being her.
