Danny stared at the strange message with confusion. A ViewTube link sent from one of his co-mod of Alpha Cube wasn't unusual, in fact they frequently swapped vids back and forth of feminists getting wrecked in debates, or some beta-cuck getting beat at the latest protest. Hell even speeches weren't weird, they all had their favorite thinkers and brains behind the movement and Danny himself had been guilty of spamming the others with a particular podcaster he enjoyed extolling the virtues of true masculinity.
The strange part was who had sent it. FemReaper or Lester had once been the head of the whole site! He'd started it himself after being banned from all the major socials, saying that if the Woke Mafia wouldn't let his voice be heard, he'd just shout louder. He'd disappeared almost two years prior after receiving some bad medical news that he didn't wanna share with anyone, but it had long been assumed he'd died. With that said, none of the mods had ever deactivated his account, in case he ever reappeared. But to disappear for two years, only to show up with some weird video link was odd to say the least. But there it sat in his inbox.
Message From: FemReaper
Subject: Beta Purge!
Greetings guys! I'm sorry for my long absence but my doctor recommended I take a couple years off from anything that might stress me out since the procedure I underwent took a pretty serious toll on my body and mind. However I'm excited to rejoin your ranks and start fighting the weakness that has infected our society.
To that end I've joined up with The Overlord Organization and one of their reps Justin Grace, the guy in the video, to launch Operation Beta Purge to clean house not only in our movement but across the western world! To be clear (for any fed boys reading this because I know they monitor us) we will be reeducating or expelling these weak femboys, not in any way physically harming them.
I encourage you to check him out in the video, but with your permission I'd like to pin it to the homepage tomorrow as well as an announcement about the new project and my return. To be clear, I'm returning as a contributor, not a mod. You guys did good work in my absence and I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes.
Good to be back. Look forward to hearing from you.
No doubt, it was a trap. Lester could barely type a sentence without a shitty emoticon or text emoticon before. His spelling wasn't shit and on a good day it was like deciphering hydrographics to figure out his messages. Dude was a brilliant coder but dogshit at communication. Danny quickly shot off messages to all the other mods who confirmed they'd also received the link, the ones who'd been around long enough to remember Lester were also justifiably suspicious. Foidassasin14 (Bruce) said he'd done searches for the guy and the company and they came up as legit, though they had nothing to do with the movement or men's rights. Overlord was an environmentalist organization that also dabbled in pharmaceuticals and real estate. Justin Grace was a pharma rep turned life coach and podcaster with his own line of supplements and absolutely no history with the MR movement. All his content seemed to be about improving yourself through living with nature and getting outside and shit. And while that didn't really track with Danny's chronically online status, it made sense as most of his idols in the movement also advocate a primal approach to life.
"So has anyone actually watched the video yet?" He asked in their group chat. A chorus of no's erupted, but one Ya popped up. Junji was the newest member of their mod team, and while the group and the server weren't openly racist, he was the only non-white they'd allowed. "Well, how is it?" Danny pressed.
Pretty Stock standard lip service. He doesn't say anything anybody before him hasn't said but the production is good. I don't see a problem with FemReaper posting or pinning it, it's good info for new members. But like, reading over his old posts, are we sure he wasn't hacked?"
"I'd sooner believe he'd been invasion of the body snatchers'd or something. Dude might have written at a fourth grade level but he was a coding wiz." Danny responded. "If it's safe, I'm gonna check out the link. I'll let you guys know what I think afterwards " he messaged, before clicking back to the link and tapping it. It took a minute to load before a bright flashing logo appeared on screen.
Grace in All Things
It flashed over and over again for almost a solid thirty seconds before it transitioned to an image of a standard Chad looking dude standing in front of a green screen. Sort of looked like the setup televangelist used.
"Greetings brothers! If you've found me I'm going to assume you are now as I once was. A man lost in this new modern world of pronouns and woke gender politics. A man desperately trying to hold on to what little masculinity this cruel society of ours allows him to maintain as the mobs of feminists and even worse Male Feminists (he raised his hands for air quotes at this portion) try to tear it from you daily!" Junji was right, dude wasn't breaking any new ground. Just another huckster looking to monetize the movement. Danny snorted and almost hit stop, but something in him wouldn't let him. He
Had
to at least give the video a fair shake right?
"And I bet you're sitting there thinking 'Justin man why do you care!? You're a chad! System works for you!'. And you're right! I am a fuckin Chad. I am an alpha. And as an alpha nothing pisses me off than wimpy little betas mooching off MY success. Burdening MY society. So I'm here to wipe them out. Abolish the Beta. There are two kinds of men in this world and when I'm done, there's only gonna be one!" The rhetoric was heating up, and Danny found that at this point he was paying rapt attention. He noticed a steady baseline in the back of the video, almost like drumming, it was catchy as shit.
"So what makes an Alpha? An alpha is the leader of his pack! He doesn't just serve his own self interest, he looks out for everyone! He defends the old, and the weak, and the young of his pack! An alpha protects those who cannot protect themselves. He doesn't attack the weaker members, or seek to subjugate them by force! An alpha leads by presence!" This was unusual, probably some virtue signaling to dial back his earlier rhetoric.
"I'm an Alpha, 100% I have become an Alpha through the power of The Overlord! I was once a selfish petty little beta, who didn't care who I hurt as long as I got mine. I helped nobody and stood for nothing! But then the Overlord found me! And they opened my eyes to my potential! And I started working hard every goddamn day to help people! Sick people! Disenfranchised people, homeless people, women and children. Putting people over profit and using my power and my privilege for public good. And it's hard, I'm not gonna lie to you it's hard. It would be so much easier to go back to how I was, but instead I fight every day to be a better person and make a better world. That's alpha behavior! Doing the right thing because you want to! Not because someone makes you or because it's easy! I'm an alpha because when someone says 'Hey Justin you'd make more money in this industry if you lied! If you sold snake oil! If you raised the price on your drugs!' I tell those people to go fuck themselves. I stand firm, I have respect for myself, and I have respect for my fellow man!" Really off the rails now, but nothing insane. Danny was starting to doubt what Junji had told him, but...
What Justin was saying was important. I should listen
"You know what betas do? They sit around all day and bitch! They bitch about the world, they bitch about their lives, and they bitch about how everyone is against them! Betas contribute nothing to the societies they live in. They don't help people, they don't build shit, they just sit around and consume resources." Ouch. Even though he'd never publicly admit it, he felt called out. He wanted to stop the video, to scroll down and leave a rude comment, but despite his best efforts he couldn't bring himself to, because he knew it was true. He wasn't an alpha, he wasn't a chad. He was 130 lbs soaking wet, 5'7, pale, and malnourished. He was the cuck he made fun of in memes. Never been kissed, 23 year old virgin, couldn't join the military because he couldn't pass the IQ test or the physical so he was stuck working a dead end job at a gas station in his shitty small town, and scrolling and posting in the Cube whenever he could about how great his life was...
"And I'm gonna do us all a favor. See this video is laced with subliminal and subsonic programing. It affects different brain wave patterns differently. If you're an Alpha, right now you're feeling motivated and hyped, which is what we need. More alphas fighting the good fight. But Betas, you're probably feeling pretty shitty." Fuck. Danny was starting to panic. He tried to click out of the video but for some reason his hand wouldn't respond. He wasn't paralyzed, he could move, he simply couldn't look away or stop the video.
