GAMMA: Wouldn't classifying people as some kind of seemingly insurmountable bad personality type be what other people do about almost everyone who isn't just mainstream? I get calling people out for being sort of ineffective, but it seems like this is more just making a group of people to laugh at.
SIGMA NOTE: at this point, we already have a very strong suspicion that we’re dealing with a Gamma here. Asking a question that is not a question, but an objection, is a textbook Gamma entry into discourse. I was not the only one who immediately picked up on this.
SIR HAMSTER: Everyone knows Gammas exist. It's not insurmountably bad, but Gammas have to be honest about what they are and what they do if they're going to stop being insufferably annoying. Gamma tells there. We're not laughing at you. We're documenting how your behavior to defend delusions is wrong and predictable. The starting point for you to address Gamma behavior is to love truth so much that you accept it even when it hurts. No spin, no word salads.
GAMMA: Yeah, sorry. I skimmed this, but your attack on me based on my argument is exactly the kind of shit I’m talking about. “Only certain people can be critical.”
SIR HAMSTER: The only people who deny that Gamma exists as a type of men are Gammas. It's a delusional claim. The fact you aren't even interesting in dealing with the actual point of the post about Gammas defending a lunatic who drinks his own pee is another Gamma tell. You're changing the subject from how Gammas deal with Nietzsche and how your own behavior fits the Gamma type.
“Only certain people can be critical.”
This is a strawman. All people are critical. The SSH exists because everyone is always critical of everyone else's behavior and status. Gammas are annoying because their critical judgement is persistently off in a way that deflects from their own faults and imagines faults in others. I'm criticizing you because you are making false claims about Gammas and what other people are doing. Don't throw shade on other peoples' motives and actions and you won't be a target.
GAMMA: Okay, this just sounds like MBTI people who are proud of their designations. I like that I’m an INTJ, but I’m not going to go around dooming people to “the bad one.”
SIR HAMSTER: If you stopped acting the way you do, you wouldn't be classified as a Gamma. No one is being doomed as "the bad one". Identify what you're doing that annoys other people. Stop doing that. Now you are no longer "the bad one". People only care about this because Gammas won't stop their annoying behavior. You know your actions and words affect other people. Pay more attention to the results of your actions.
GAMMA: Okay, if you truly believe that, then great. It seems like there’s a big culture in the “Alpha/Sigma/Gamma/Delta/Beta/Shitta” community of saying, “HAHA, you’re a Gamma.” I’ll continue to speak my mind, though, and I would implore you to do the same.
SIR HAMSTER: This is a dishonest reframe. It's not about mockery and status games. The type exists and the behavior exists. That Gammas will defend a pee-drinking lunatic as the greatest philosopher triggers mockery, but the mockery is driven by the objective ridiculousness of the behavior rather than animosity towards Gammas. The Gamma pattern of behavior does create animosity, but that's a learned prejudice. It is good to tell Gammas what they're doing wrong even if they won't listen, because it is helpful to everyone else to have an example of what not to do.
GAMMA: Okay, fuck you, man. You guys are literally commenting to me on an article that makes fun of Gammas, like this asshole seems to always do. Fuck you
GAMMA: You guys are like Stefan Molyneux fans without any empathy. Lol.
GAMMA: “He’s a witch! Burn him! Like My Daddy Vox Says!”
ANTI-RATIONALIST: Yeah, nothing about the way you have behaved speaks to anything other than gamma. We're not making up labels here. It's YOU who's demonstrating the Archetype's behavior.
GAMMA: Dude, fuck you, too. Why don’t you guys just go pile on more people who disagree with you with names some guy made up who acts just like they do.
SIGMA NOTE: How anyone can deny the existence of Gammas, or the utility of the SSH in predicting their behavior, is beyond me. One can easily confirm an individual being a Gamma in a single exchange by the simple method of throwing a few known Gamma triggers in order to set him off.
The most amusing thing is that the Gammae actually tried to work in an “Lol” to feign amusement AFTER being triggered into a meltdown.
It should also suffice to illustrate why, nine times out of ten, the best advice for a Gamma in every situation is to simply shut the fuck up. Seriously, just stop talking. Once the hole is visible to all and sundry, more digging is never going to get you out of it.
Boy, uh, that Neitzsche essay just keeps bearing fruit, doesn't it? Had no idea it would keep pulling them out of the woodwork.
