      From what I've read, they see themselves as alphas, hence their rage at not getting what they feel they're due. This "betas" idea reminds me of the long ago debunked assumption that criminals have low self-esteem. They don't; they think they're smarter/better than everyone else.https://twitter.com/Crommunist/status/989338554005245952 …

      But a core part of "incel" ideation is that they are outcasts, and looked down on by society, because they are low-value 'beta males' who have no value. To be an incel is to believe yourself to be a victim of undue scorn because of unalterable characteristics.

      Incels definitely do NOT see themselves as alphas. They are resentful and admiring of "alphas", who (in their view) are the men who, through a combination of biology behaviour and wealth, are 'hoarding' all the sex that incels are 'supposed to' be having.

      Hence their talk of "Chads", and their obsession with things like "the 80:20 rule", facial symmetry, and other bizarre pseudoscientific shibboleths within their community. This includes white supremacy, which they largely embrace.

      It's been years since I read their gross spewing (after SB attack), but I saw mostly arrogance (PUA/MRA mentality), misogyny/malignant anti-feminism & transphobia. And Rodger identified as alpha. Have they evolved, then?

      Arrogance yes, but that's a different thing from believing oneself to be "an alpha", which is about social status rather than 'real worth'. The divisions between PUA/MRA/incel circles is... weird. They definitely have misogyny in common, but then it gets complicated.

          Have they created an internal hierarchy & adopted a victim mentality since Rodger/SB, then? Sorry, not sure why I'm even trying to understand.

          Can't speak to Rodger specifically, but from my recollection he believed himself to have all the characteristics of an 'alpha' except the physique of one. Can't remember if he self-identified as 'incel' or not. They definitely claim him though.

          He called himself an alpha in his video tirade, IIRC.
