That statement doesn't help at all, of course. They'll just blame the parents and as long as
it's been passed along and labelled, then they're free again to remain irresponsible.
To take responsibility for one's actions, behavior and conduct is beyond the grasp of many
today. Hell, ask BIAD!
What really got me was his list of things that seemed to keep him from "walking in his complete and full masculinity" - a list that included, and was limited to, "bitchassness", "Beta-Males", "Purposeless and Pussy Whipped Men", and "complainers and blamers" - what pray tell, in that entire damned list, would keep a man from being himself, especially considering they are nothing more than externals? He claimed to be an Alpha Male, yet let these things get under his skin so tightly that they could control him and keep him from "walking in his complete and full masculinity"? Seriously?
How is it in any way "Alpha" to allow such petty concerns to control one's self?. An Alpha would look at such things, say "oh, that's cute, isn't it?" and then go on about his day, doing Alpha stuff, whatever it is they do.
Here's a song from an era when Alphas were evidently more prevalent than they are today - I guess the shooter never heard it:
Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
