Both excellent points. ಠ_ಠ

- Belief in the concept of an “alpha male” necessitates having a strongman leader.
- Bootlickers need a boot to lick.

The problem with the whole “alpha male” leader nonsense in modern age is those leaders are supposed to protect the group, potentially to the death, as the trade off for the status. Most of the goobers stepping up to insert themselves in that role aren’t doing it for a group, just for the desire for the status alone. So really it’s just a bunch of entitled assholes that will sell the group out and run in a heartbeat as soon as they are faced with fulfilling their end of the bargain.

I don’t disagree that it’s about status/power/etc., but they’re doing it for a group, just not our group. If you wanna be part of the 1% you gotta fuck the 99%.
To paraphrase Carlin, it’s a big club and we’re not in it.

Nah that 1% will sell out their own as soon as it makes them money.

You’re not wrong.
