(3,541 posts)In reality the alpha male in a wolf pack leads not by threats or aggression but by character. If he had to lead by threats he wouldn't be an alpha male. He's the one the pack trusts. the most important part of a wolf pack is really the omega male or the "underdog" . if they lose the underdog the whole pack falls apart. The reason I bring this up because it's like the "boiling frogs" bullshit from right wing sources. Having eaten a lot of frog legs and lived with wolves I know they are when both bullshit. When I raced sled dogs the leader was the one who could handle the mental pressure of being in front not because they were more aggressive or stronger. Human leadership is similar in my book. We go to the ones whose judgement we trust not the bully. Also our job is to protect the weakest. If we fail at that we are screwed.
