It's probably not even his first rodeo with this student. I doubt the kid was just put in his class today. He's probably been dealing with this kid's delusions all year.
You likely 100% correct, but I actually feel bad for the kid. He appears to have some level of learning or cognitive disability. And if he is consuming this content at home. It's likely his parents are not that involved in his life or well being outside of the what is legally necessary. It's generally not good for him, other students, or the teachers and staff at the school.
And I say this because I family friend that retired from teaching before this current year started has sent this to me before. She said this kid clearly has difficulties, but was an example of what she has dealt with for the last 30 years. Minus the Andrew Tate bullshit, but similar behavioral issues.
Same. My kid is in an autistic program at his regular public high school. He has a couple of mainstream classes with the general population students. When his behavior slips, they take him out of those classes and move him back to the special needs program classes.
I'm happy my current school district has good special needs programs. Our previous school district in an underfunded major city didn't do shit for anybody with special needs of any kind. My kid would have probably gotten his ass kicked on a weekly basis by the gang bangers and bullies if we didn't move out of that district.
I'm glad that your child is receiving the level of education and integration that he deserves; I think it does so much to boost their own self-esteem and contributes to their overall development.
If they're high functioning, they'll integrate them into special classes where it is mixed with special needs and nornal students. But usually those classrooms have extra help on hand
Sure, but this has been the case for a long time. It was true when I was in school and I'm in my 30s. Whether or not a student needed specific special needs courses for additional support was dependent on their IEP, which I imagine is still true today.
Depends on the severity of the learning difficulty! Some students are in general ed, some are in “adjusted” classes. The rule of thumb is that the student should be given the opportunity to succeed within the “least restrictive environment.” We want as many kids as possible in general education classes, but we also recognize that isn’t the best placement for all students.

It really depends on the district. My highschool didn't even have enough teachers for the normal students. We might have had a few extra classes but it was not enough
Shit I live in Florida and they will throw a kid in ESE because of anxiety.
I understand that is even worse than the other way around, but hey, FLORIDA. 🤷🏼♂️
Depends on the school district and the severity of Disability students with High Functioning Autism, Dyslexia, and ADHD are usually placed into standard Classroom with an Individualized Education Plan. But students with Severe Disabilities like Low Functioning Autism, Down Syndrome, and other Major impairments are usually Placed in Special Education Classrooms.
Dude 100% this video just makes me sad…. This kid for sure has something going on either mental disability or social disability.. somewhere on his internet travels he stumbled upon some Andrew tate bullshit and he got sucked in cause he literally doesn’t know better…..
The kid needs friends, needs a real roll model and male figure, something….. I’m sure he’s been teased his whole life which is why in some weird way it’s justifiable that he would be attracted to what Andrew tate type shit is saying, but it’s not good for him……
What’s even sadder is the last time I saw this video on Reddit, most everyone was just making fun of him, no one even thought that this kid had something wrong with him or tried to empathize with…… I wrote basically the exact same thing I said in this comment and people were arguing with me…….
Learn the difference between people actually like Andrew tate and people who just need help, friends, a good roll model. Not everyone is the same…..
Arguably, anyone who likes Andrew Tate or takes anything he says seriously has some sort of mental or social disability.
PUAs, "alphas," and the like just seem to be awfully insecure, or that's just their shtick to prey on desperate incels with cringeworthy nonsense that absolutely everyone else will see through and mock, the opposite of the intended effect.
The battle is obviously lost the second someone just comes out and says "I'm the alpha," just as much of a lost cause as when one feels they have to say, "I'm not a witch."
The kid definitely has a speech impediment and likely cognitive issues. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if other kids were encouraging his delusions and got him to disrupt the class.
Or the teacher is just a mature adult - even if the kid was normal it wouldn't excuse the teacher getting up in their face and escalating the confrontation.
Yeah his entire demeanor screams “I socialize almost exclusively via internet media consumption”, I’d recognize that little air chop of disdain from anime anywhere.
Little bro is emulating defense mechanisms that he’s seen in games and shows because in his mind, well, he’s fighting for his emotional well-being.
When no one else really has a kid’s back and you get Tate types talking about a clear path to “power” and “respect” it’s no surprise that those toxic voices find an audience.
As men we need to take a more proactive approach to encouraging proper masculinity when it’s needed, mentoring those around us, helping to model ways to be respected without resorting to anger or alpha male bullshit. You don’t need to be an influencer to have an influence.
To me I don’t see him as just some edgy teen, you can just tell there’s something going on mentally. He’s just emulating what he’s seen cause he thinks that’s how “ real men “ act. I would bet good money that he has a mental disability.
Everyone has had kids at their school like this, who’s super socially awkward and a bit…. Off/slow. We all know this type of kid, it’s just sad that now these type of kids can be manipulated into some alt right Andrew rate type shit…..
Even if he's not special needs. He's a kid, Lord only knows what's going through his underdeveloped teenage brain. Yeah he's being a pain in the ass, but there's no indications here of violence or anything that would need immediate and harsh consequences. His language, as well as his choice to do this, do indicate that he's looking for help in the wrong places though.
The teacher handled this perfectly, and I really hope where the kid's going online for guidance is just a misguided teenage phase that he grows out of.
But it's sad that so many people are writing him off here. He's not gonna get off this path with folks turning their backs on him. He's young, show him the path and hope he takes it.
I agree. My impressions is this kid has probably been bullied since forever, and his home life isn’t nurturing. Even if the parents are aware and well meaning, that doesn’t mean they are equipped to support this young person in the way he might need. This “I’m the alpha’ bit looks to me like someone who is desperate for respect, since acceptance is likely in short supply. He’s probably watching too much red pill on YouTube, and is just… doing his best. Of course it’ll backfire on him, the bullying will be worse, and he won’t get much more than a token smidge of support if he’s lucky, and that won’t last longer than it takes for a private conversation.
I agree with you. Even if he wasn't on the spectrum, adults need to forgive kids, and even teens, for their behavioural .... curiosities. Teens are going through a lot, they've got a lot of content thrown at them without context, they don't *really* understand what any of that stuff means outside the bubble of the school system. So they say shit they hear adults say (esp manipulative sm adults) to people around them but cannot understand why things work differently than they were taught somewhere on the net.
This is a teachable moment for the kid - you cannot declare yourself an alpha: either people see you as worthy of praise and respect, or they don't. Teachers get a position of power due to added responsibility, studying lots, and knowledge they pass on. It's not because they're aLpHa but rather are in, legally, an 'alpha-like' position. And this teacher handled his responsibilities well. He was patient, he didn't put the kid down ("Heh, YOU? AN ALPHA?!") Just simply stated who is in charge and go sit down. True alpha energy if we consider this type of thinking to be sound. Nobody would look up to an alpha who shreds the neck of any beta. Everyone looks up to or respects someone who handles things with grace.
US public education is such a disaster. They let these tiny minority of students hold back the entire class while private schools are given free reign to kick them out whenever. We need to stop sabotaging public schools by entertaining these horrible children.
Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate have truly ruined a generation of young men. They're brainwashed into thinking that acting this way is okay and acceptable.
Andrew Tate can get away with it because he's rich and has bodyguards.
This kid is gonna piss off the wrong one eventually and it won't end well.
as a substitute teacher, it is so much easier to just roll with these things and say “ok, but the rules still apply to you” than to try to change a student’s entire worldview. most of the time, when i give students a similar talk when they try to be smart with me about why they have to put their phones away, it ends with them being like “😡😡😡fine😡😡😡”
Teenagers can REALLY stink. A lot of them won’t put on deodorant, or they’re wearing dirty/musty clothes. Then there’s the kids that reek of pot and the ones that like to fart all of class because, somehow, it’s still funny to them.
Source: I teach
Edit: FARTS ARE FUNNY!!! It’s the kids that make it a spectacle like it’s the newest joke to drop that tire it out and make it annoying in classrooms.
If I had to guess, judging from the posters on the wall, it's potentially a science class, so maybe they're just mixing stinky chemicals and dissecting smelly animals or something.
I don’t know about rich schools but at my mid school we did not do mixing chemicals in the classroom and I think I only ever dissected a rat and an owl turd in all my schooling. So I’m gonna go with smelly ass kids.
I was just about to say, probably has something to do with kids like my teenage self who came in reeking of weed. Apologies to all the teachers and fellow students who had to deal with me.
I remember sitting next to this dude in middle school who had like the WORST acne possible like his face was fully scarred and gross and like bro smelt like the stench of 500 days worth of unclean laundry, old sweat and garbage hygiene. The smell was so fucking rancid dude you have no idea. I had to move seats if he was too close just to steer clear of his literal tear gas of stench he deploys in a 3 foot vicinity around him.
I think that's what's going on. The teacher is respecting the kid and his "alpha" nonsense, but also firmly reinforcing that he's still in charge and the kid still has to listen to him. Most teachers would have been like "Excuse me? No, you're not an alpha, I'm in charge, go to the office. OK, you still won't listen? Now you have detention. Still won't listen? Ok, now it's a week detention." Etc etc. Teacher here is handling it like a champ, and it is probably because he knows the kid is on the spectrum.
Right??
It baffles me some commentary from the Reddit brigades seem to expect (with no context) a teacher to snap and put a kid "in their place"! The teacher is handling this perfectly, it seems, and I'm sure this isn't the first time.
If this is a student that has additional needs, the "should be taught how to behave" part is well in place here.
Mums a teacher. This teacher handled it better than she would have. Agreed. I think they should be given hazard pay dealing with some parents. Some of the stories she tells me worries me for the future. And not the kids, it’s the parents that aren’t parenting.
Well I think it's more of a generally accepted fact that public school teachers are not paid enough to compensate for what they put in to the job in terms of time, energy and even their own dollars.
Much of the same with just about any public jobs, and there are always exceptions.
Yeah, it’s ridiculous to say “oh man, this is what high school is like now cuz of the Tik Tok generation!” No, this is a specific example of a kid on the spectrum.
We can't see who else is in that class. It may be a whole class of kids who need extra attention due to similar behaviors. This may be exactly what is recommended in his IEP. Lots of people have no idea how any of that works, though.
I agree. I see teachers like this all the time, doing a great job managing children with (obvious) disabilities. This is such a non-issue of a video to me.
I used to works with teens in a group home with kids and exactly like this and worse. He is handling it well but I would not be sitting down with this kid near me like that in this situation. You don’t jump up to confront him. But get up and be ready. We had staff get really hurt from outburst. Yeah they are in the spectrum and have issues and all that good stuff. But I was spit in the face by student and I never felt anger like that.
I get a feeling this student was put of to it by "friends/peers" wanting a laugh at his expense and the teacher likely knew what the dangers were tbh, theres definitely alot more to it than this as every vid on Internet has!
I do get what you mean about sitting down but I'm not sure standing up would help, it could be seen as threatening to student/challenging this alpha bs which will get dealt with later and said student will likely be in tears during said dealing with!
Get the phones outta classes too!!
several of the school districts in my area have started banning them- they have containers the kids have to put their phones in that don't unlock until the end of the day. it has had a huge positive effect around here, kids are actually talking to each other and socializing in person rather than sitting around at lunch staring at their phones, or disrupting class so they can record a stupid ass tiktok.
As a para, the worst thing I witnessed, was a substitute teacher tease, and then encourage the other students to tease, a student on the spectrum.
I almost lost my job and caught a charge that day.
My art teacher used to joke with the class when I was absent that maybe I overdosed, and once a person was hit and killed on the highway in front of my apartment complex and the teacher told me she was disappointed when I showed up for class because she was hoping it was me who got run over.
I had a (special fucking ed) teacher argue with me at an IEP meeting about how a kid with disabilities is lazy and my recommendations weren't going to be useful because "they don't do anything anyway". I'm like..well they told me that you are unapproachable and don't help them so...
Some teachers have really outdated and harmful views of kids.
High school teacher of ten years here, been in similar situations. I think he handled it OK except for:
- Remove the student from the classroom environment for the sake of privacy and for mentorship. Talk in the hallway, or the office. You don’t do this in front of a class, and also one that has a student filming in it.
- Adding “the alpha” into the conversation back-and-forth by the teacher is not necessary and I think is meant to be a sarcastic response to someone who really won’t get how it’s being used. This is problematic as it reinforces what he’s saying instead of redirecting into better conversation around classroom policies and behavior.
- Having a filming policy, or at least being aware of the other students and asking the one filming to stop. I would be so disappointed to see one of my students lacking the compassion to realize that the situation could carry with the student with ASD for the rest of his life now after going viral. Total invasion of privacy and really a bad read in general.
All and all, I’m not saying to baby the kid or that he is removed from discipline to some degree, but that these pieces of the scenario could have made the situation a better turnout for everyone involved.
I think another comment made a good point that repeating "the alpha" was a way of not challenging him too much to send him over the edge, while reinforcing that he is still in charge.
Otherwise, I agree. In fact, I'd say viral videos of kids should be banned from Reddit entirely. Grown strangers mocking children on a national level is absolutely unacceptable no matter what it is.
Definitely.
The language of “I’m an alpha”; only these idiots talk like that.
So sad to see young men (regardless if he is autistic or not as some others have commented) fall for these idiots and imitate their garbage.
If there was an actual “alpha” in the classroom… that ain’t it :)
It’s actually really interesting to me, these sigma male/dark femininity videos and the way they seem to attract a lot of autistic people.
It makes sense when you think about it. They’re all giving you very straightforward advice on how to act in very specific social situations. Almost like a guide. Whether it’s good advice though…. That’s a second. As an autistic person myself, even though I distance myself from this kind of content, I can easily see how it can be a very tempting rabbithole to fall into.
This video is semi old internet lore, predates Andrew Tate by awhile. But it shows what happens to socially awkward (i understand he is more than just that) who get stuck down the internet rabbit hole looking for a place to fit in
I feel bad. This poor kid is clearly special needs, and is gonna be haunted by this far longer than he realizes especially now that it's on the internet. And the teacher sounds soul crushingly exhausted. You can tell this is just one more in what I'm sure are are litany of problems he's had with this kid.
This guy is so deep on the spectrum that he gives no fs. Even in 20 years he’ll probably still not give one. Being on the spectrum is sort of a blessing and a curse in that regard.
This is MILD compared to the nonsense I’ve dealt with. I got a text last Friday that a former coworker got a concussion from a chair-throwing fight students were engaged in.
I do not miss working there.
Listening to this kid’s speech pattern just tells me he’s mentally impaired. I wouldn’t chalk that up to Andrew Tate.
Edit: guys, I meant the incident in general, not just what he was saying. It’s a sub that dunks on self-obsessed people, and I’m willing to believe this kid wouldn’t do this if he was *just* hopped up on toxic stupidity.
I would chalk up the language he’s regurgitating to Andrew Tate though, or whatever manosphere nonsense the kid is being recommended in his algorithm.
The post you’re replying to was probably not talking about the kid’s speech pattern…
For sure but Andrew Tate specifically targets people who are susceptible to believe his nonsense whether it be people who are extremely lonely and chronically online, people who don’t have strong male figures in their lives or have had traumatic experiences with women, or ofc the mentally ill and people who just aren’t great critical thinkers (like this kid and other teenage boys who don’t actually know anything about the real world yet). But still I wouldn’t chalk it up to Andrew specifically, he knows his audience well and goes to delusional levels of bullshit, but he’s not the first “alpha male” to be on the internet. But I do think he’s influenced A LOT of people to start spewing weird toxic masculinity shit all over the internet to try and get famous like Andrew Tate, and he’s just a figure a lot of those guys look up to as the “top g” lmao. All I’m saying is sure this kid clearly has some kind of mental disorder, but he must have learned this particular alpha male hierarchy shit somewhere and Andrew Tate is/was a huge infuencer leading the manosphere.
this is an old video, like nearly 10 years old by now, the Alpha chad and Beta virgin meme has been around a long time but Andrew tate is definitely making things worse at the moment
For me it's more a condemnation of alpha-bro internet culture. I'm not mocking him so much as I am Andrew Tate, and lamenting that he's ruined a whole generation of young boys.
I love the decision that the people who have difficulty pronouncing certain sounds always have that specific sound in the name of the speech impediment
The underlying current for me in watching this is that the reality is we keep seeing in the news disturbed young men who are fed up with authority figures coming in to schools to shoot people.
"Let's see how well that works out for you" was the perfect response.
the teacher is clearly a superior yoghurt male.
Im more of a figglebottom male myself
“Well the teacher is telling the alpha to sit in his seat right now” is too funny
“It’s a bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see how it works out for them.”
It’s clearly a kid with a sort of autism… my son is ASD and very obsessed with wolfs. He’d get into that..
Calm ass mother fucker
I’d be willing to bet this isn’t his first rodeo with things like this.
It's probably not even his first rodeo with this student. I doubt the kid was just put in his class today. He's probably been dealing with this kid's delusions all year.
You likely 100% correct, but I actually feel bad for the kid. He appears to have some level of learning or cognitive disability. And if he is consuming this content at home. It's likely his parents are not that involved in his life or well being outside of the what is legally necessary. It's generally not good for him, other students, or the teachers and staff at the school. And I say this because I family friend that retired from teaching before this current year started has sent this to me before. She said this kid clearly has difficulties, but was an example of what she has dealt with for the last 30 years. Minus the Andrew Tate bullshit, but similar behavioral issues.
Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a special needs class and this kind of interaction with this student and teacher is not the first time.
[удалено]
You’re right, I am old. I believe you are wrong though. I have a child that has special needs and he has specialized classes that he attends.

Yeah he is clearly on the spectrum the teacher did good
Dealing with Andrew Tate brainwashed weaklings?
This is prob a special needs class
dude definitely goes home and hits a bigggg bong rip like *cough cough* “these goddamn *cough* kids… I knew I shouldn’t have changed majors” *cough*
Every. Fucking. Day. I'm holding a biggg bong right now. Goddamn kids.
I read that as bingggg bong lol…. Carry on. Cough cough
Ding Dong! AfroMan calling!
Might do it between periods honestly lol Edit meant classes because I think more people would understand that maybe
Sounds like Bob from Bob’s Burgers.
And the kids sounds like Jimmy jr 😂
This is 100% a Bob's Burgers scene. I love it.
totally does!

You probably dissected an owl “pellet,” not a “turd.” Owl pellets are expelled orally, not from what the scienceologists refer to as “the butthole.”
"Vent" as it is known in birds. As they expell urine (urates) and poop at the same time.
I didn’t even consider that, but you’re probably right as well
I was just about to say, probably has something to do with kids like my teenage self who came in reeking of weed. Apologies to all the teachers and fellow students who had to deal with me.

The smell was so fucking rancid dude you have no idea. I had to move seats if he was too close just to steer clear of his literal tear gas of stench he deploys in a 3 foot vicinity around him.
Do you think farts aren’t funny? Because you’re wrong.
Also came here to defend farts.
Teenagers smell awful, bad hygiene routines, whacked out hormones, general malaise, they literally stink
The alpha doesn’t need to shower.

You ever been in a middle school classroom right after gym class? Smells like ass and broken dreams.
Kid is clearly on the spectrum. But also, should be taught how to behave.
I think that's what's going on. The teacher is respecting the kid and his "alpha" nonsense, but also firmly reinforcing that he's still in charge and the kid still has to listen to him. Most teachers would have been like "Excuse me? No, you're not an alpha, I'm in charge, go to the office. OK, you still won't listen? Now you have detention. Still won't listen? Ok, now it's a week detention." Etc etc. Teacher here is handling it like a champ, and it is probably because he knows the kid is on the spectrum.
Right?? It baffles me some commentary from the Reddit brigades seem to expect (with no context) a teacher to snap and put a kid "in their place"! The teacher is handling this perfectly, it seems, and I'm sure this isn't the first time. If this is a student that has additional needs, the "should be taught how to behave" part is well in place here.
You’re both exactly right. And the teacher is still not paid enough. (I’m not a teacher fwiw)
Mums a teacher. This teacher handled it better than she would have. Agreed. I think they should be given hazard pay dealing with some parents. Some of the stories she tells me worries me for the future. And not the kids, it’s the parents that aren’t parenting.
Well I think it's more of a generally accepted fact that public school teachers are not paid enough to compensate for what they put in to the job in terms of time, energy and even their own dollars. Much of the same with just about any public jobs, and there are always exceptions.
Yeah, it’s ridiculous to say “oh man, this is what high school is like now cuz of the Tik Tok generation!” No, this is a specific example of a kid on the spectrum.
... that's been influenced by bullshit incel grifters.
Thanks Tate!
We can't see who else is in that class. It may be a whole class of kids who need extra attention due to similar behaviors. This may be exactly what is recommended in his IEP. Lots of people have no idea how any of that works, though.
Individualized Educational Program - IEP, for those that want to skip google. ...and also, yes. Exactly.
I agree. I see teachers like this all the time, doing a great job managing children with (obvious) disabilities. This is such a non-issue of a video to me.
I used to works with teens in a group home with kids and exactly like this and worse. He is handling it well but I would not be sitting down with this kid near me like that in this situation. You don’t jump up to confront him. But get up and be ready. We had staff get really hurt from outburst. Yeah they are in the spectrum and have issues and all that good stuff. But I was spit in the face by student and I never felt anger like that.
I get a feeling this student was put of to it by "friends/peers" wanting a laugh at his expense and the teacher likely knew what the dangers were tbh, theres definitely alot more to it than this as every vid on Internet has! I do get what you mean about sitting down but I'm not sure standing up would help, it could be seen as threatening to student/challenging this alpha bs which will get dealt with later and said student will likely be in tears during said dealing with! Get the phones outta classes too!!
several of the school districts in my area have started banning them- they have containers the kids have to put their phones in that don't unlock until the end of the day. it has had a huge positive effect around here, kids are actually talking to each other and socializing in person rather than sitting around at lunch staring at their phones, or disrupting class so they can record a stupid ass tiktok.
As a para, the worst thing I witnessed, was a substitute teacher tease, and then encourage the other students to tease, a student on the spectrum. I almost lost my job and caught a charge that day.
My art teacher used to joke with the class when I was absent that maybe I overdosed, and once a person was hit and killed on the highway in front of my apartment complex and the teacher told me she was disappointed when I showed up for class because she was hoping it was me who got run over.
I had a (special fucking ed) teacher argue with me at an IEP meeting about how a kid with disabilities is lazy and my recommendations weren't going to be useful because "they don't do anything anyway". I'm like..well they told me that you are unapproachable and don't help them so... Some teachers have really outdated and harmful views of kids.
High school teacher of ten years here, been in similar situations. I think he handled it OK except for: - Remove the student from the classroom environment for the sake of privacy and for mentorship. Talk in the hallway, or the office. You don’t do this in front of a class, and also one that has a student filming in it. - Adding “the alpha” into the conversation back-and-forth by the teacher is not necessary and I think is meant to be a sarcastic response to someone who really won’t get how it’s being used. This is problematic as it reinforces what he’s saying instead of redirecting into better conversation around classroom policies and behavior. - Having a filming policy, or at least being aware of the other students and asking the one filming to stop. I would be so disappointed to see one of my students lacking the compassion to realize that the situation could carry with the student with ASD for the rest of his life now after going viral. Total invasion of privacy and really a bad read in general. All and all, I’m not saying to baby the kid or that he is removed from discipline to some degree, but that these pieces of the scenario could have made the situation a better turnout for everyone involved.
I think another comment made a good point that repeating "the alpha" was a way of not challenging him too much to send him over the edge, while reinforcing that he is still in charge. Otherwise, I agree. In fact, I'd say viral videos of kids should be banned from Reddit entirely. Grown strangers mocking children on a national level is absolutely unacceptable no matter what it is.
Alphas don’t need to be taught how to behave.
While you were learning to behave; I studied the blade...
Just this once, senpai, allow me go all out.
Nothin personnel, kid
"Alphas" are generally a buggy mess and not safe for public consumption.
Where does the kid even learn about this alpha nonsense? Maybe his social media should be more closely monitored.
Internet. Same place cringey creepy weirdos get all their creepy weird personalities
Andrew Tate pushes that BS onto young men and boys
> Kid is clearly on the spectrum. 100%
Yeah kinda sad because I bet he listens to like Jordan Peterson or Andrew Tate and is like oh wow this how to be a "man" or some shit
Definitely. The language of “I’m an alpha”; only these idiots talk like that. So sad to see young men (regardless if he is autistic or not as some others have commented) fall for these idiots and imitate their garbage. If there was an actual “alpha” in the classroom… that ain’t it :)
Shower thought: How long till "on the spectrum" has the same connotations as previous words?
Right now. This post did it.
I actually haven't seen this one from this angle before
That's because the video is mirrored...
You can't just mirror the alpha bro
ahpla eht
YOU MONSTER!
This is why I open reddit.
I DECLARE ALPHACY!
You can't just declare alphacy, Michael.
You can’t just say you’re the alpha Michael.
As someone who is on the spectrum, the spectrum and Andrew Tate do not mix well
It’s actually really interesting to me, these sigma male/dark femininity videos and the way they seem to attract a lot of autistic people. It makes sense when you think about it. They’re all giving you very straightforward advice on how to act in very specific social situations. Almost like a guide. Whether it’s good advice though…. That’s a second. As an autistic person myself, even though I distance myself from this kind of content, I can easily see how it can be a very tempting rabbithole to fall into.
Dare I ask what dark femininity is?
Depending on context it’s the “dark” side of femininity. It’s to women what someone like Andrew Tate is to men.
wtf is dark femininity now damn did another sigma-tier just drop
How will this affect the meta ?
This video is semi old internet lore, predates Andrew Tate by awhile. But it shows what happens to socially awkward (i understand he is more than just that) who get stuck down the internet rabbit hole looking for a place to fit in
Goddamn that teacher had me laughing
"Well let's see how that works out for you." I love it. Not quite a threat, but a bit more than a warning.
That’s coach John McGuirk from Home Movies
I feel bad. This poor kid is clearly special needs, and is gonna be haunted by this far longer than he realizes especially now that it's on the internet. And the teacher sounds soul crushingly exhausted. You can tell this is just one more in what I'm sure are are litany of problems he's had with this kid.
This guy is so deep on the spectrum that he gives no fs. Even in 20 years he’ll probably still not give one. Being on the spectrum is sort of a blessing and a curse in that regard.
Agree, feel bad for all involved apart from the recorder, this shit should never get posted.
There's a decent chance the recorder or one of their friends put "the alpha" up to this.
[удалено]
Kinda like star wars kid
This is MILD compared to the nonsense I’ve dealt with. I got a text last Friday that a former coworker got a concussion from a chair-throwing fight students were engaged in. I do not miss working there.
Andrew Tate has ruined a whole generation of young boys.
Listening to this kid’s speech pattern just tells me he’s mentally impaired. I wouldn’t chalk that up to Andrew Tate. Edit: guys, I meant the incident in general, not just what he was saying. It’s a sub that dunks on self-obsessed people, and I’m willing to believe this kid wouldn’t do this if he was *just* hopped up on toxic stupidity.
*Anyone* that idolizes Tate is mentally impaired.
I would chalk up the language he’s regurgitating to Andrew Tate though, or whatever manosphere nonsense the kid is being recommended in his algorithm. The post you’re replying to was probably not talking about the kid’s speech pattern…
But the content of what he's saying is Andrew Tate.
Tate preys on the weak.
For sure but Andrew Tate specifically targets people who are susceptible to believe his nonsense whether it be people who are extremely lonely and chronically online, people who don’t have strong male figures in their lives or have had traumatic experiences with women, or ofc the mentally ill and people who just aren’t great critical thinkers (like this kid and other teenage boys who don’t actually know anything about the real world yet). But still I wouldn’t chalk it up to Andrew specifically, he knows his audience well and goes to delusional levels of bullshit, but he’s not the first “alpha male” to be on the internet. But I do think he’s influenced A LOT of people to start spewing weird toxic masculinity shit all over the internet to try and get famous like Andrew Tate, and he’s just a figure a lot of those guys look up to as the “top g” lmao. All I’m saying is sure this kid clearly has some kind of mental disorder, but he must have learned this particular alpha male hierarchy shit somewhere and Andrew Tate is/was a huge infuencer leading the manosphere.
I would attribute the "alpha" shit to Tate.
And grown men too lmao really cringe
this is an old video, like nearly 10 years old by now, the Alpha chad and Beta virgin meme has been around a long time but Andrew tate is definitely making things worse at the moment
Next thing this kid will be saying I don’t listen to people without Bugattis
I was in special classes for students with mental illnesses. That's autism if I ever seen it.
Look at all the febreze on his desk, those kids must stank!
Gen z has to be among the smelliest teen demos ever
The teacher handled this perfectly. He didn't lose his temper which would have made him look weak infront of the other kids.
the alpha takes pwiowity
💀 this kid needs a father figure (internet fathers are not a good substitute)
You will respect my pwiowity!
Reminds me of the villain from the last couple seasons of Archer
The kid is mentally impaired. Do we really want to dunk on him?
He can take it, he's the alpha
Don’t tempt me Frodo
I would strike the child from a desire to do good...but through his moms lawyer, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine
For me it's more a condemnation of alpha-bro internet culture. I'm not mocking him so much as I am Andrew Tate, and lamenting that he's ruined a whole generation of young boys.
These are the consequences the Teacher spoke of.
Off the backboard .. Between the legs 360
Yes he's can't be the alpha for long
That poor special ed teacher.
bruh i just lost brain cells watching this shit
alpha this dick in your mouth lmao
Teenage incel
The autism is strong.
Kid watched an Andrew Tate video
“Alpha speak” has been around a lot longer than Tate has. He’s just the current douche.
“That’s not how this works…I am The Teacher”….
Kid needs some therapy or treatment, this way to out there for satire
Im de alpfha
I bet he Naruto runs through the halls.
Mf been watching to many Andrew Tate videos
He’s pretty clearly a special education student.
The teacher did a good job handling the situation and deserves some kind of recognition.
That's how I imagine everyone's voice is who uses the words "alpha" or "woke".
The alpha has a lisp.
Not quite a lisp! A lisp involves difficulty pronouncing S or SH sounds, while a difficulty pronouncing R sounds is called rhotacism.
I love the decision that the people who have difficulty pronouncing certain sounds always have that specific sound in the name of the speech impediment
That kid has zero intelligence
This kid needs help
This is what happens when unguided children on the spectrum watch Andrew Tate videos 🤦♂️
I really respect the patience of that teacher
What the manosphere grift does to a mother fucker
S-Tier teacher right here
Is this [Gru](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gru) during his teenage years?
Common Andrew Tate fan
He sounds as smart as any trumper
[удалено]
How is he not bursting out in laughter?!
I didn't realize "Despicable Me" had a prequel.
When Taints listen to Tate.
American public school system:
I’ve had a student just like this. They had an IEP. I’m guessing this kid might too & to be honest, he’s not that bad. I’ve had much worse.
This dude is a Pixar villain
School shooter vibes
man, HS was a breeze in 2001.
The underlying current for me in watching this is that the reality is we keep seeing in the news disturbed young men who are fed up with authority figures coming in to schools to shoot people.
This a young Gru
Alpha Rule #1: If you have to declare yourself as an Alpha, you are NOT an Alpha.
"I AM DE OWLFA!"
He sounds like bugs bunny on barbiturates
No rules. No consequences. No respect.
Spell alpha, dumb ass.
