Just hit me that Beta is the Sparta of Socionics. They are loyal, shield the guy next to them in battle and are strategic. Strong warriors and strong independent women.

It even got a official emoji
And their rite of passage into manhood is killing a defenseless slave in cold blood!
i thought they fought some crazy beast in the wilderness

Its purpose is debated, but it was still a thing. And it wasn't like understandable quelling of slave revolts either, it was a regular event where Spartans could murder any slave they wanted without consequence.
sounds beta, I believe it
gotta break a few eggs and all that, those slaves fulfilled every members final duty to the state
its nothing less than what the state will ultimately ask of those same soldiers
(we need an emoji of a berserker w/ axe)

Came into this thread to hate but OP makes a good point. I love that stuff, but keep it far, far away from me. lol. I love that going down in a blaze of glory shit. I am not a warrior but I do like strong women. Are Klingons Beta too?
Young Guns is another Beta movie by your standards. Love that. Bunch of rejects from different walks of life.
- Charley Bowdre: Regulators, we regulate any stealing of his property and we damn good too. But you can't be any geek off the street, gotta be handy with the steel if you know what I mean, earn your keep!
- Richard Brewer: REGULATORS, MOUNT UP!
If you know like I know
You don't want to step to this
It's the G-Funk era
Funked out with a gangster twist
If you smoke like I smoke
Then you high like everyday
And if your ass is a buster
213 will regulate
Billy: You have to test yourself every day, gentlemen. Once you stop testin' yourself, you get slow. And when that happens, they kill you.

"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
klingons are like the most beta thing ever
I once heard someone get salty cause they said "strat makes beta out to be a bunch of klingons"
its like bitch recognize a compliment when you see one
They are so fuckin rowdy. lol. They also killed their Gods.
One of my favorite scenes from any Star Trek was the DS9 and Worf vs the Jemhadar. They know the Klingon has a reputation as being tough. They play the game: you beat a person until he no longer can get up. And he couldnt break Worf. Everyone kept telling Worf to stay down but he wouldnt. So the Jemhadar stopped. He said all he could do was kill him.
(Worf continues to be pummelled to the ground.)
MARTOK: Worf, honour has been satisfied. Stay down.
(But Worf gets up)
DEYOS: Finish this.
(Worf gets knocked down again)
(Ikat'ika stops Worf as he crawls to a post.)
IKAT'IKA: Enough, Klingon. You have proven your worth.
MARTOK: Worf, you heard him. Enough.
WORF: I will not yield.
DEYOS: What are you waiting for? End this.
IKAT'IKA: It's over.
WORF: It is not over.
DEYOS: You heard him.
(Worf cannot stand, and Ikat'ika is breathing hard.)
IKAT'IKA: I yield.
DEYOS: You what?
IKAT'IKA: I yield. I cannot defeat this Klingon. All I can do is kill him, and that no longer holds my interest.
"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
I just realized Socrates said something similar before his death. Socrates and Jesus could have lived but refused to bend the knee. lol.
"Anytus and Meletus can kill me, but they cannot hurt me." And further, he says, "If it so pleases God, so let it be." Anytus and Meletus were two opponents in the Athenian Senate who wished to destroy Socrates.
"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
I watched this movie recently. Lost City of Z. Good movie.
The main character killed something and said death is the best sauce for life.
to death, the best sauce for life,
And I believe that. Death is that ingredient on top that really brings out the flavor of life. A life without death is like a pizza without sauce and cheese.
"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
And fuckin Spartacus. Loved that show. lol. "I AM SPARTACUS. BRINGER OF RAIN."
"Tell your Gods that Crixus pisses upon them!" - the Undefeated Gaul.
Batiatus: You are here because of my grandfather. He built this ludus. He believed that no man was without worth. That even the most vile among us could rise to honor and glory. He instilled these beliefs in my father, who in turn passed them on to me. I am a lanista. Like my forefathers, a trainer of gladiators. I see things in men that they themselves have lost, small spark, an ember, I give it breath, tender, until it ignites in the arena.
Best dialogue in a fuckin show ever. lol
"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
So, instead of going out and fighting for causes (or money with causes as a proxxy) and earning glory and honor (or shame and dishonor, if you behave badly), you sit in your basement all day and night glued to a screen, munching on Cheetos and getting your hand sticky. And you consider this a good thing.
Not ExFx.
Am I somehow supposed to feel ashamed of myself? Pornography has fueled my imagination and provided me with grandiose ambitions, and a dramatic vision that lies beyond your wildest dreams. Let us just say that I seek glory in the bedroom, rather than on the battlefield - after all, we have drones to do that shit now. I could obliterate the enemy while you gave me a blowjob, wearing some sexy lingerie and a top hat.
Now that is power.
Not SO first.
You are either a troll or the dumbest person alive. No one of any age, sex, race, or creed thinks that a dumb dude with an acne-ridden face and chest sitting around in his brown-stained underwear and wanking with Cheeto-dust covered hands is someone they'd want to bang, and no one is afraid of someone who brags about how great it is that they watch porn instead of joining the military being able to get anything without consent either.
Mista Busta, where the fuck you at?

Gap teeth in ya mouth so my dick's gots to fit

While ya onstage rappin' at your wack-ass concerts
And I'ma snatch your ass from the backside
To show you how Death Row pull off that whoride
Now you might not understand me
'Cause I'ma rob you in Compton and blast you in Miami
Then we gon creep to South Central
On a Street Knowledge mission, as I steps in the temple
Spot him, got him, as I pulls out my strap
Got my chrome to the side of his White Sox hat
You tryin' to check my homey, you better check yo self
'Cause when you diss Dre you diss yourself, motherfucker
Yeah, nine-deuce
Dr. Dre, droppin' chronic once again
It don't stop, punishing punk motherfuckers real quick like

What's a fucking beta anyways
i don't know what I'm doing xD
Love gangster and gangsta movies. He is getting back at a crew who killed his brother. He tells him to turn over and show his face when he shoots him.
[Doughboy kicks Ferris in his bullet-ridden legs]
Ferris: Fuck you man! Fuck you!
Doughboy: Turn your punk-ass over!
Ferris:[Rolls over] I didn't do it man! I didn't pull the fuckin' trigger! What the fuck you doin? Oh, man! Well, fuck you!
[Doughboy shoots Ferris twice]
"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
“In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them.”
― Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game
"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
some enemies I crush like bugs; but on the whole, I totally agree, any worthy adversary you have to love first in order to defeat
“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
“Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
“If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity”
― Sun Tzu, A Arte da Guerra
“The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
“Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
Yes, I think Sun Tzu is beta. I was watching something just yesterday and somebody said "chaos is a ladder". Forgot what.
"All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved."
Mason: Are you sure you're ready for this? [walks up staircase]
Goodspeed: I'll do my best.
Mason: [stops and motions back to Goodspeed] Your best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen!
Goodspeed: Carla was the prom queen.
Mason: [faintly impressed] Really?
Goodspeed: [Cocks his gun] Yeah!

I believe that Sun Tzu is an LIE. Beta Quadra types have a different set of priorities and would behave very differently to this in wartime - they are more overtly passionate and instinctual, and for good or ill, are rarely capable of marrying precise, methodical calculation with a broad vision. A Beta general, if he ever bothered to write this kind of manual (more than likely it would be a set of reflections), would advise his audience to just trust their feelings, leap in, take risks and shock the enemy though surprise shows of force. While Betas (EIE anyway) may have a strategy of sorts, it's not consciously articulated. We "just know" things, and believe you should act first and ask questions later. We love feeling zoned in, focused and need a sense of direction. So cut out the crap and we shall march onward. We shall become overwhelming, spectacular, and inspirational!
Oh, and after you've read through this, go back and read Sun Tzu's quotes. You should notice a very clear difference in tone.
old samurai quote:
"Only a warrior chooses pacifism; others are condemned to it."
"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
He knew himself a villain—but he deem'd
The rest no better than the thing he seem'd;
And scorn'd the best as hypocrites who hid
Those deeds the bolder spirit plainly did.
He knew himself detested, but he knew
The hearts that loath'd him, crouch'd and dreaded too.
Lone, wild, and strange, he stood alike exempt
From all affection and from all contempt:
-Lord Byron
"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
@Cuivinen what do you look like? Im curious now lol
I posted a pic of myself in the member VI thread last week.
No problem though:
@Wyrd I am hot enough to spear you, Fraulein. The real question is, are you worthy of a man like me?
