Turns out the existence of an "alpha" wolf is a myth.
It was based on old/bad experiments, conducted when unrelated wolves were thrown together in captivity.
In actual wild wolves, packs are just families. There's no dominant alpha battling for the top spot -- and in the rare cases there is, it's an alpha *female* wolf.
Insert obvious implications for the use of this term in human societies.

Like I told you; it's got nothing to do with belief. These folks are literally post-belief.
It's about power. And that statement works for every type of nazi; from the street thugs, all the way up to Pete Thiel and the boys.
Never, ever, ever assume the things a fascist tells you are true, or take them at face value. Fascists do not value truth. They value power. They will say whatever they have to, to win; and even when they speak truth, it is ALWAYS with ulterior motives.

In short: the automotive sector has filled our cars with surveillance gear, but that data is only reliably available to commercial data-brokers and hackers who breach Big Cars’ massive data repositories. ...
