Or do they coincidentally agree with the worldview espoused here at the Chateau?
Over two years ago, a post at this blog was written which compared the alphaness of George Bush and Vlad Putin. The coveted Alpha Male Smirk trophy went to Putin.
Now news comes from the infamous WikiLeaks documents that U.S. diplomats have tagged Putin with the alpha male designation.
US diplomats refer to Russian PresidentDmitry Medvedev as a hesitant leader and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin as an “alpha male,” Kommersant reported on Monday citing documents released by WikiLeaks. […]
“The Americans call the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev pale and hesitant, and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin an alpha male,” the newspaper wrote.
Do we here at the Chateau have our fingers on the pulse of high stakes diplomacy, or does the elite have its fingers on the pulse of the Chateau? Either way, it’s good to see the ruling class belie their paeans to nuance in favor of embracing the dispiriting truths of reductionism behind closed doors.
So what does Putin think of all this hubbub?
Putin’s spokesman meanwhile told the daily that it was premature to take the reported character portraits too seriously.
“We have to wait and see what level of diplomats made these comments, and in what documents they appear,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the daily.
He likes it.
The alpha male/beta male dichotomy is triumphant across the world, from low stations to high, for good or ill. The lamentations of the equivocating hairsplitters and the rearguard “greater purpose” spiritualists are music to the ears.
If this blog were an apple it would be a granny smith — tart but refreshing.

One notable use of the terms “alpha/beta male” in this kind of context dates to the 1999 presidential race between Al Gore and George Bush.
As candidate, then-vice president Al Gore hired chic feminist writer Naomi Wolf as his image consultant. She analyzed Al Gore being perceived as “beta male” to then-president Bill Clinton’s “alpha male.”
Gore became someting of a laughingstock for this, including Wolf’s advice that he work on looking more alpha by wearing earth tones.

Berlusconi WikiLeaks stories and his response triumphs Putin’s
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101129/ap_on_re_us/wikileaks_berlusconi
[quote]ROME – Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi insisted Monday he only throws elegant, dignified soirees at his villas and not wild parties as reportedly described by a Rome-based U.S. diplomat in a cable contained in the Wikileaks trove.
Berlusconi said he didn’t care to read what such diplomats had to report, saying “I don’t look at what third-rate or fourth-rate officials say.”
Berlusconi has been accused of entertaining escorts and underage girls at his villas — allegations that have fueled a political crisis that has brought the government to a no-confidence vote in two weeks.
According to the cable, reported by The Guardian newspaper, Berlusconi’s “frequent late nights and penchant for partying hard mean he does not get sufficient rest.”
On Monday, Berlusconi shrugged off the commentary with a laugh.
“I unfortunately have never in my life been to a wild party,” he said. “Maybe they’re interesting. I’ve never been.”
He said once a month he hosts dinner parties at his homes because so many people want to see him. “At these dinners, everything that occurs is proper, elegant and dignified.” Otherwise, guests wouldn’t be allowed to take pictures, he added.
Several beautiful young women have come forward over the past year detailing the dinner parties they attended at Berlusconi’s villas in Rome, Milan and Sardinia and the gifts the premier allegedly gave them.
The most recent, Nadia Macri, a 28-year-old self-described escort, has said Berlusconi paid her ?10,000 ($13,000) — delivered in an envelope — for sexual favors after she was introduced to the premier by a television executive.
Berlusconi’s lawyer, Niccolo Ghedini has said there was no basis of truth in Macri’s claims and said they had been disproved.[/quote]

I’ve assumed this blog is being read by males in the US and Russian governments (I know many support men’s rights because they follow me on Twitter and some even send email saying they can’t reveal their identities but support the MRA cause).
This is why its important, not just to post about PUA moves, but to post/comment on all manner of men’s rights including about child support being stealth alimony + the absurd feminist attack on US males dating Russian women (VAWA + IMBRA laws) +, yes, the encroaching criminalization of men who solicit/pay for sex from young women (first Sweden, soon Israel with the help of CNN and Fox News). One can argue that its “beta” or “value neutral” to pay for sexual activity, but one can’t argue that men (as opposed to their female “victims”) need to be criminalized for it.
By the way, because they were somehow clued in, possibly by anti-feminist blogs, alpha males in the Finnish parliament recently stopped a Swedish-feminist inspired law to criminalize johns by defining the term “sex trafficking” officially as something against the will or mental capacity of the woman. Across the water in Estonia, the US Ambassador, a White Knighter, spoke before a feminist group urging them to adopt a law criminalizing American men who might pay an Estonian woman for sexual activity. Alpha males in the Estonian parliament refused to criminalize men and just nominally outlawed prostitution instead. One can’t argue that the parliament members who stopped that law were beta males who wanted to pay for sex themselves.
Regarding Wikileaks, up until today I wanted the owner of that site shot down by the CIA, but one of Obama’s spokeswomen just today announced that Wikileaks’ new release was “aiding and abetting sex traffickers.”
When you translate this from the Liberal-Speak, it means that the secret documents may deal with the efforts by the US government to influence legislation in other countries that would, ideally to the Obama-Bush crowd, get American men arrested overseas for “cheating” in the game/quest for sex with beautiful young women.
So because the Obama Girl occupying the White House West Wing stressed “sex trafficking” in her warning to Wikileaks that they are disobeying American law, I’m now very interested in what the documents will contain and believe that I and every man here has the right to know what the feminist assholes in the US government have been trying to do to curtail our natural law rights in other countries.
This would include secret documents dealing with efforts to get other countries to outlaw “mail order bride” services (which are really nothing more than dating services), which is what the US government succeeded in getting the Philippine government to do.
If Putin was a girly-man in the thrall of western liberals, it would already be illegal for American males to date Russian women. Like the US Embassies now specifically deny visas to attractive young Russian women who say they’d consider dating US men while visiting the US, the Russian embassies would deny visas to American men who implied they might date the local women when they visited.
US feminists want to reconstruct the Berlin Wall. Putin has actually kept that wall from going back up for all intents and purposes.

Berlusconi can follow up ridiculing the particular US officials as beta males for daring to criticize an alpha for partying with beautiful young women (notice that whether Berlusconi has ever paid for anything has no bearing on whether he’s alpha or not – an alpha in the end nails the hottest chicks, period).

Regarding Leo DeCaprio, the bar would be set higher for a movie star to be called “alpha” in my book, but you have to compare him with the other movie stars who still don’t know how to get laid -despite- their stardom and cash.
Look at all the married movie stars who are, presumably, not getting laid with other women (not necessarily beta if they’re really into their wives sexually).
Look at the way Mel Gibson screamed at Oksana on the phone saying “I want and need a real woman damn it” after he kept calling when she moved out. The most damaging thing Oksana’s secret tapes reveal is that Mel didn’t seem to know how to get laid in Malibu despite his super-stardom.

One of the tidbits in the cables is that Putin while being boss politico, is routinely ignored by the Russian Bureaucracy which does whatever it wants, and is huge and sprawling.
So even though Putin is a classic Alpha in both senses (he kills enemies left and right and Wikileaks would not dare anything like this with him) there are limits. He cannot even tame the bloated Russian state, which is just too big for even him and his ruthless ways.

Regarding the funny SNL video skit -Damn it my mom’s on Facebook-
Note the sample college male’s post “There isn’t enough beer in the world for me to agree with Glenn Beck’s Holy Roller BS”.
Now, if top Republican decision makers read this blog, among the 3000 people per day that were at least reading here per day six months ago, then they will have to understand that the young male adult vote is jeopardized by bringing religion into any kind of populist Republican message going forward.
SNL wouldn’t have inserted that sample statement of an average college male if it weren’t basically true for young men to think that way about Glenn Beck pandering to the religious right instead of just the small government types.
Two other things that slightly rubbed me the wrong way about the Republican “message” this morning is that a mass mailing from the RNC contains advertising to “Buy from the GOP Store” (tacky) and, worse, there is a prominent link for “GOP Women” to click on while there is no link for “GOP Men”.
The Republicans, you can be sure, have zero interest in reducing child support atrocities or in otherwise helping men get various natural law rights back.

Ceding the intellectual high ground is interpreted in the brain as “accepting follower status”, but never underestimate the capacity of people to absorb those good ideas anyway. I would guess that not only are the diplomati reading roissy, but 5 years from now projecting the feminist philosophy of beta behavior will be humiliating and passe for the average SWPL-inclined person.
