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 …
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.
