Keeping people cold, miserable, hungry and sleepless while yelling insults at them and taking their money? Wooww... That definitely does not sound like brainwashing or psychological manipulation at all!
At least the actual military will tell you it sucks and isn’t gonna help you, this is just a bunch of people that didn’t make the cut so they thought they’d steal peoples money
I wonder what those men think they'll get out of it. They will still look the same, do the same job, the only thing that will be different is having 18k less and depending on their mental state additional trauma. If they couldn't get any women before this, they won't have any more luck after it.
Them saying "flip the switch" is actually really fitting. Because when then turn ON the alpha mentality they also turn OFF every woman in a 100 mile radius.
See the false bravado and narcissism attracts certain types of girls who have daddy issues, the money keeps em around. Then their narcissism just fuels each other forever with Chris Brown/Amber Heard type toxicity all mixed in
You can tell I'm cheap when the first thing I thought was, you could definitely do this at home for free. If you want to lift heavy things, not sleep, and find a friend to yell obscenities at you... do it in the comfort of your own home! Don't pay these grifters to ruin your life, ruin it yourself!
@@meowbahhytmy guy, you’re giving her money by hate watching her. You realise we can all see you have 153 comments on this channel, and that one of them is positive (or you’re bad at sarcasm).
Getting yelled at, called worthless, made to grovel, being deprived of sleep, and psychologically tortured? I don't need to pay 18k for that. I go through that 5 days a week and get paid a salary for it.
Lmao holy shit imagine taking your son to this nightmare because you are too lazy to become his little league coach or take up a hobby with him. When I was a troubled teen my father started playing Halo to bond with me, it changed my life for the better.
No, see, your positive experience with your father is what the opposition wanted, it made you weak. If your dad loved you at all he would have paid $36,000 for some emotionally unstable tool bags to berate and insult you, he set you up for failure. You need to FLIP THE SWITCH
Yeah, I think that would qualify as abuse. In MA, oarents torture their autistic kids by sending them to conversion therapy or even having them electroshocked as punishment for their disability instead of giving them the accommodation and empathy they need.
I know right! Like that is literally torture. The fact that the children have to go through obstacles with bear traps, boards with nails, and barbed wire!?!? While blindfolded!? It’s absolutely insane and disgusting how they think that this is okay! And for fathers to actually put their sons through that is horrifying.

“No longer acts like a child” actually means “we’re going to traumatize your child so that they prematurely lose their childlike idealism and become cynical like the rest of us”
@@darkgardener9577I know this may sound like a bit of a personal question, but were you ever beaten up or angrily berated at by your parents because of little things growing up? Because if you were, it can warp your perception on what you think is just “growing up” and what is severe childhood trauma. If this is the case, I suggest you go to therapy before raising kids to not have the cycle of abuse happen again. Childhood trauma IS real and there are resources to help people with it if you are in need. There is no shame in talking to a psychologist.
@@darkgardener9577 Exercise and toucher isn’t the same, this is toucher. Also they don’t get enough sleep which is not a healthy structured schedule. Being yelled at constantly is also more degrading than you might think, especially for a teen who is still trying to figure out life. Being screamed at for a small mistake will make teens afraid to make mistakes, when mistakes are nearly nessicary for learning.
I was in the army and the drillmasters were such encouraging & respectful people, disappointing them caused me anxiety. We all felt like that, the female and male recruits. My own parents were totally useless and self righteous, I never respected them because they never gave me any reason. But in the army everything changed, I started to trust other human beings again and actually cared for their wellbeing. After the training most of us went back to uni for more degrees, but we are still in touch, I haven't spoken to my own 'parents' in decades and I couldn't be more happy about it. It doesn't matter what you do to heal your emotional wounds, therapy, motivational training, online meditation lessons ... at least you shouldn't end up a bigger dipsh*t than you already are, blaming total strangers for your trauma and your own shortcomings in life won't help you to outgrow your problems.
The process to becoming an alpha, a leader of the pack, a big bad boy who don't take no guff from betas, involving nothing but being insulted and following the orders of someone more intimidating than you is so hilariously ironic
@@plant3341they gon think they can act like the instructor after the course. Wonder how long it’ll take their wives (if they even got any 😅) to divorce them (or how long for their children to resent them). I give 2 months top 😂
100% this is training them to be submissive to male authority figures. Which makes sense given that the feudal knights were expected to lay down their lives for their lords and their expected function in life was enforcing another man’s power. Which is by definition NOT what an “alpha” does
@@letsdoodlesomethinghome3404 Nah, they're not getting children anytime soon, although, you can't rule out the possibility of a vulnerable woman sticking around because she honestly believes that that's what she deserves or wants until it's toxicly late.
So couple things ... 1)Join the army and you can get paid $18000 a year for going through all the same crap 2) if the army rejects you thats a sign you need therapy, not boot camp 3) 'serial entrepreneur ' is definitely code for 'serially going out of business'
Interestingly, despite the fact that the program is *clearly* inspired by the military (or rather, what people who've seen Full Metal Jacket THINK the military is), AND Keuilian clearly styles himself off the military (his 'uniform' contains a blacked-out left-facing flag, etc.) his about me is pretty clear he never served: "They’re the only ones that can save you!’ I thought to myself, OK, I’ll go apply.” The military wouldn’t take him, but he set about to prove her wrong. He did. [...] When the military wouldn’t take him, “I knew I had no other path, so I took the path of physical fitness."
If you want to be miserable, cold, hot, hungry, no sleep, getting yelled at constantly, insulted and depending on chew and Monster to keep you up, join the military and the good thing is, they pay you to go through all of that misery.
The fact that men are willingly paying thousands to put themselves through ACTUAL ABUSE just to feel “manly enough” is honestly very depressing. Putting children through that as well is absolutely vile.
Men- Being abused isn't okay. It won't make you stronger and more of a man. Being shamed for existing and ignoring your body's needs won't make you tough, it'll make you traumatized and miserable
personally anyone willing to spend $18K on this shit is not very bright mentally so that’s on them i fear 🤷🏽♀️ i only feel bad for the kids in the situation
I felt bad enough that there are men who feel insecure enough to torture themselves to prove their masculinity but it felt so much worse learning they were abusing their sons. Edit: Also, thank you for the knight dance. That made it feel better.
I assure you men didn’t just shrug off the horrors of war. There’s a reason the Veterans of WW1 were called the lost generation and why Veterans of WW2 don’t often talk about their service. Band of Brothers is a TV show based on the writings of Captain Winters of Easy Company. It very clearly documents the mental effects of the War as they went through it and real life interviews at the start of the episodes with the men of Easy Company clearly show it’s lasting effects throughout their life. These things are traumatising and people who go through them shouldn’t be considered more Masculine for it. They should be recognised as victims and thanked for sacrificing their mental and physical health for their nation and then helped to recover.
@notrius7754 yeah but the general wasn't some random asshole who received dubious therapy and then turned it around and tortured other people. And you also say this like the military doesn't also actually torture and brainwash their own into thinking it's acceptable to kill fellow human beings. All veterans probably have some form of mental illness from the service they did. That's not proof of their masculinity. Violence is never a concept to use to amplify your own masculinity. There are so many other better ways to be a good man than to learn how to kill people and let yourself get brainwashed into becoming a tool of the military industry.
@notrius7754Men back then were fucked up tho, most war veterans are traumatised and have problems living a normal life. They went through worse things than what men do today but that doesn't mean they handled it well. Military camps made them physically stronger but also colder and more cruel which is good for war but not when you're trying to be a happy, social human being with a nice family. If men wanna become strong they should just try to go to the gym and maybe seek out help for their mental health.
@notrius7754 probably bc they weren't addicted to technology and even tho most of them were lowkey poor, it kinda was easier to get a home and get children back then. They had women to take care of the home and women were expected to have tons of children and couldn't and didn't really think they had another choice. So men kinda had more freetime after work. I think people have more problems socializing today. Men need to be social and I think most men find it hard to have a community. It was easier to get jobs back then and people usually shared similar interests. And it was more encouraged and normal to go out. I also think the fact that they went through so much hardship made then appreciate life more. I still think most of men back then had issues tho women too. Domestic violence was common, child abuse too, cheating, rape and violence too. You could argue that we still have it today and that it's more common but I think it's bc people speak out about it more now but atleast it's considered bad these days. Also I don't think most people believed in depression back then even today when I meet older people they think it doesn't exists even tho they show clear signs of being mentally unwell. But yeah I just think men today should find good communities and do that without having someone yell and bully them. There's good training camps that make you strong and happy and helps you create good friends out there without the ptsd.
@notrius7754 For one thing you have to consider the gradual recognition and acknowledgement of mental health. Simply looking at data could be misleading because only up until recent years has there been more recognition of mental health issues while previously a traumatized person may live their entire life without knowing they are traumatized. I don't know what to say about Politicians because I'm not American + I have a bias that all politicians regardless of leaning are people that cares the most abt their own profit no matter what age or time so xx. Plus I wouldn't really make the connection of having children=more happy and social lives. Generally speaking people only have more children per mother when there are high rates of infant mortality or higher rates of poverty (so kids could act as a labor force). And finally, I would never ever say going to war is a good thing. War has been extremely dramatized and sensationalized by modern media and it really hurts me when I hear people portray war as some heroic/honorable leap into martyrdom or whatever.
Isn't life hard enough? Also, if your life is going that well - as in you can afford to squander $18K on the Walmart version of boot camp - why not focus on building new skills, improving relationships, etc. to prepare for future struggles? Why impose suffering on yourself? I don't want to say anyone asks for pain, but these dudes . . .
I just wanna be in the timeline where the scientist who theorised the whole alpha wolf theory thing realised it was completely incorrect before it was popularised. He's worked over the years to inform how completely wrong he was, i feel bad for him tbh.
What's more ironic about that is that some that believe in that type of hierarchy that "There can be only one alpha", it's very hostile and Alpha Females can't Exist because no more than 1 can exist. There are other types similar in which Alpha Males and Alpha Females exist and tend to find one another, i.e Power Couples, and Several Power Couples supporting each other form larger packs / societies. The 1st type is similar to the Toxic "Worship-style" Relationship, in which one must be the Idol and the Other is a mindless obedient beta.
Honestly that’s a better universe bc all the sexy abo stuff can still exist in the bdsm AUs, while, oh wait no, toxic masculinity also wouldn’t go away if the terms went away, stuff like this will just be called “become a real man” camp or some shit instead

I agree with you a lot. The common denominator of men who do this is that they are alone in a way and they've never been humbled in their life; but are yearning for those things while at the same time looking for connectivity that can't be re-created without collective suffering and trauma bonding. As a prior military service member turned mental health professional, I've unfortunately seen this way too much. They probably have friends in the military or first responder careers. And as taxing as that lifestyle is on friends and family and all other things "normal"; there's a collective understanding amongst all who have served that we are not alone. These men see that, and they want it for themselves too but couldn't achieve it on their own; be it by choice or other circumstances. When it comes down to it, they want to prove themselves by taking the easy way out without getting to the core of their actual problems; something that ACTUAL therapy would heal. This is the culmination of toxic masculinity, a lack of positive masculinity, and a few entrepreneurs that leverage the little experience they have in taking advantage of vulnerable people. On side note: Most of these "instructors" aren't combat-hardened special forces veterans. They definitely served, but they did the bare minimum. Most of those instructors were aircraft mechanics, supply clerks, and armored truck operators. They were not storming buildings taking on bullets every day. They stood back while the real humble professionals did the dirty work. Their service records are public record, feel free to look them up :)
“I did everything i could to turn my son into the man he should be, but now he hasn’t spoken to me in over a decade, I just don’t understand how the world could have turned him against me like this”
They’re too old to enlist. But even then it’s still counterproductive since military training serves the opposite purpose of what this scam is trying to sell. It’s not even close to what you experience in the military anyway. None if it makes sense, it’s like a Redditor’s fantasy CoD larp.
I went on a survival course recently where I was probably the least experienced there, and the other older survivalist dudes coached me how to make a fire with sticks and shit, giving me encouragement and tips and stuff, and it was one of the best moments of my life. That was positive masculinity, how they didn't let me give up on myself and believed in me and recognised the difficulty and did what they could to guide me. This is not that.

@@adrenalineactivateThat’s always been such a dumb propaganda talking point for misogynists. Women and girls get so much shit if they express any emotion other than reserved pleasantness. If women or girls are excited about something, they’re mocked. If they don’t laugh at something that’s not funny, they’re called rude. If they’re just existing, they’re told to smile. If they sound unhappy while articulating themselves, they’re told to calm down. If they’re angry (without being violent or aggressive), they’re called crazy. Men get to express a lot more emotion without people giving them shit. The biggest difference is the friend groups. Men and boys make fun of their friends for expressing emotions other than anger. Women and girls tend to be supportive and kind. If men and boys want more emotional support, then start giving more emotional support. It’s not rocket science; hell, I figured it out.
I’m mostly just surprised that two dozen grown men had $18,000 each and they chose this over therapy, a vacation, a gaming rig, a new vehicle, down payment for a house, investing, or a trainer in a gym, etc.
In my state, $18,000 is enough for a 9% downpayment on a $200,000 FHA home loan and is likely enough for all the closing costs of a $200,000 USDA home loan (which does not have a minimum downpayment requirement but does have closing costs). It's also WAY more than enough to buy a reliable used car for driving to work (so you can make money). If a "real man" is supposed to be financially responsible so they can provide for a family, these guys aren't "real men".
I hate the fact that we romanticised the idea of buds and grueling special forces courses, they're genuinely meant to induce suffering and get the most tough men into a high highly skilled unit, and even then it's for a short time and you don't get many chances to recycle. I maybe overstepping here but I don't think most vets of tier one units would throw someone into the suck as their first self improvement solution
And don't forget the huge issue of SA within the US military. Not to mention all the war crimes they commit and have committed. And Chad mentioned "all of the instructors are " 'ex-military' and 'ex-cops'", so that just tells you what kind of people are in the US military and police force. Too many US Americans are delusional.
I went to military myself (Finnish Conscription so not really put ehh...) and there they especially focus on good atmosphere and everyone's well-being. Some lousy-ass reporter made a tweet where he complained how army is too soft and will produce "weak men" to which was replied by General Marshall (yes that guy uses Twitter) begging a question: Which one is more loyal? One who's been facing hazing or the one who's been treated with respect? That is a General I'm ready to hell and back with.

I once heard an ex-evangelical woman talk about her abusive father going to one of these "self-improvement" boot camps at the recommendation of their church leader. When he came back, he was no less abusive, but now he had the suffering he paid to go through at that camp as a new weapon to use against his children and wife. Whenever they would cry or get angry at him for how he treated them, he would pull out the vanity dog-tags that the boot camp gave him and yell that they didn't understand what pain was, none of them were going to belittle him or diminish him anymore because he had "been through too much", etc. It seemed that he had essentially purchased a traumatic experience to hold over his family members heads, to diminish their own suffering and fear of him. Maybe it's uncharitable, but I do wonder how many similar cases these camps create. These men are essentially paying to be screamed at, belittled, threatened with violence, and emotionally broken down by an authority figure, and are told that it is a positive character-building experience to be treated this way. How many of them then go home and become that authority figure to their families--who did not pay for the privilege, and can't leave?

As a 15 y/o guy, this is honestly so disgusting to me. Not even mentioning stripping your child of the valuable struggles of being a teenager, it’s also just incredibly unhealthy to tell them to be a big macho guy while they’re just trying to get their first fucking kiss. I’m absolutely the type of guy to be strong and “manly”, hell I box for fun and go to the gym every day consistently, but I was blessed with an amazing father that taught me that while strength is important, you need to be kind, compassionate, and honest with yourself about your emotions. Because of that, I’ve noticed that compared to other men I know, I’m far more relaxed, confident, and understanding with others. Not everyone has a present father, so to waste your presence with your son on something as frankly childish and weak-minded as this, basically telling someone else to do the dirty work for you, that’s unforgivable imo.

Some years ago, my girlfriend paid around $16,000 to go to a “finishing school” for women, in which she learned how to properly appraise and appreciate artwork, proper posture, and how to properly eat a banana (with a knife and fork, which she still does today). She refused to accept it when we told her that it was a scam, and said that she was “increasing her worth as a woman” despite being only 15-16 at the time. I can confirm that this “alpha male boot camp” is even more stupid than that. Even the finishing school taught somewhat useful skills. This is just some masculinity cult that practices psychological torture and hazing for profit under the guise of self improvement. I mean, from all of the b-roll, it genuinely looked like a Soviet labour camp.
proper posture is legit though. it's the difference between a graceful woman walking into a room turning heads and a sack of potatoes with neck and back issues.

You can accomplish the same thing with an alarm clock and a miniscule amount of will-power.

Embrace the suck, ignore the pain, silence your ego, and carry on. Start small by solving problems yourself rather than asking/paying for help.

literally what happened between me and my own dad. he was severely abused by his parent when he was growing up, and tried to continue that cycle with me and siblings because he was convinced that it was good parenting and that not only did we deserve it, but that it would make us better in the end. my mom on the other hand was also abused by her father, but tried everything in her power to raise her children with kindness and not let the cycle continue to the next generation. she would always stand up for us and do whatever it took to protect us and make sure we were ok, and obviously dad didn't like that very much. i'm an adult now and i haven't spoken to my father in years, and honestly don't plan on changing that any time soon because from what i've heard he hasn't changed a bit. luckily my mom, all of my siblings, and i are doing great now; meanwhile dad is just as miserable as he was before and wonders why his kids don't speak to him.

that is why I call my friends betas, as they may one day become alphas like me and I'm just so kind and loving that I want the best for my STUPID UGLY BETA friends
My husband, (who's in the military, so he got paid to go through this shit, basically), is really dedicated to male mental health, especially for military men and other men who think that therapy is for "pussies." This shit makes me so sad because these men are disenfranchised and depressed. Men in the US are killing themselves in staggering numbers, and the rate of military men who kill themselves lead me to believe that boot-camp is not the cure. Based on what my husband saw in his peers, I bet it makes the suicidality much worse (though there isn't necessarily empirical evidence to suggest as much). Just. Ugh. This is so sad. Those men need and deserve real help. They're desperate. It breaks my heart.
Exactly. I don't why they thought it was a good idea to copy the structure of military training (except worse) when the biggest issue for military personnel are suicide and sexual harassment/assault.
I can see why this would appeal to people. I kinda got forced into doing something _slightly_ similar to this boot camp by my parents, and it’s true, making it through a bunch of tough experiences really does make the day to day struggles feel easier to deal with. But the main difference is that the “modern day knight” camp is built to make you ignore your suffering and squash down your emotions, when instead, the true way for tough experiences to be used to help you should be by giving you a feeling of “if I could get through that, I can get through this too!” In the camp I went through, the instructors were strict (and absolutely terrifying), but they never insulted anyone, they toned things down when they noticed anyone struggling, they never shamed anyone for lagging behind or saying no to things, and they congratulated and encouraged everyone after making it through the day. I’m a scrawny, underweight girl who doesn’t do any physical activity beyond picking up a pencil, but never once did the instructors EVER make me feel bad when I ran out of breath or fell behind. So, while that camp was torture for me and I would never do anything like that again in my life, now that it’s over, I can say that it had a genuinely positive impact on me and my self esteem! Because I did something I thought I wouldn’t be capable of, and I was encouraged to push through it until the end! Not pushed down by instructors on a power trip who intentionally try to make people quit, like the ones in this video specifically admitted was their goal. It’s bad enough for the men and especially the children who made it all the way through this video’s camp, but imagine how bad this is for the people who were broken down until they quit. All they’re left with is the feeling that all the degradation they received is true, the belief that they’re too weak to overcome challenges, and a massive hole in their wallets. This isn’t how things should be. I’m rambling a ton now, but what I was trying to say is that even if there’s some merit to the basic concept of this, the way it’s executed takes away all the good of it and causes only harm. If anyone is feeling tempted by this camp, go train for a marathon instead! Or go to the gym! Do some difficult feats where you can see visible improvement in your self so you can keep yourself encouraged. Being put down and screamed at and pointlessly tortured won’t ever do any good.
I love this comment! Thanks for sharing your experience! I’m also a small girl, not really underweight but I don’t weigh much. Also not so physically active. So it’s encouraging to hear that you were able to accomplish this and benefit from it! Good job.
Gotta agree, doing something like a marathon or tough mudder is similar for that feeling of having conquored something immense and having that experience build your self esteem. Most of those are also waaay cheaper to join. You could even do a zombie run if you wanna make it more fun.
Bro, you need real people to talk with... But also yes: Working out and overcoming obstacles makes people feel good and more confident. Shocking, truly.
I agree mostly, but some people thrive under negative reinforcement and not everyone thinks like you. The fact that your apparently a scrawny undersized girl after going through this camp probably shows that you couldve used less positivity 🤷♂️
The difference between this and the military is that if you’re running, the instructor is running too, if you’re doing an obstacle course they’re right next to you the entire time, they might be yelling at you the entire time you’re doing it but it creates an idea that they aren’t there to torment you, they are training you and they want you to succeed
Not sure what military you went into, my experience was a bunch of failed, talentless nobodies who couldnt never succeed in the real world and now thought they had the right to push me around because of a little sticker on their shoulder
literally the 1st thing i thought when they mentioned how much this damn thing costs. its GOT to be fetish, theres no other way anyone would wanna be here
i think, sure, there's a value in sometimes going through something hard so you can grow and get perspective on things. it's also good to get physically stronger and more fit (but that's gonna take longer than a weekend). but stuff like this is straight up dangerous, and creates dangerous men. i feel like bootcamp and military training (at least the version we see in Hollywood movies etc) is highly focused on dehumanizing soldiers so they are willing to go into battle and kill and risk their own lives. that's not something we need in ordinary society!! and it's seriously f-ed up that some consider going through that as being necessary to "become a real man"
The whole alpha beta thing is based off of wolves in captivity. It's a perfect allegory for these men. Dogs trapped in a mental prison of their own design.
@@sjsomething4936 eh, I mean I kinda get it. Maybe it's just cause I went to Catholic school and that shit kinda messes you up (not like that), but I can totally see how a lonely, insecure young guy might end up going down that path. I mean none of it _actually_ makes any sense, but I can see how it might make sense to someone in a more vulnerable headspace... hopefully that makes sense lol
@@idontwantahandlethough yea, cults don't target stupid people, they target lonely people, wich sucks, but you can't help someone who doesn't want you to. At the end of the day they signed an that's that. I'm more concerned for the kids here. There's no way of knowing if they actually wanted this shit, and probably not honestly.
Is the guy that came up with that a psychologist? I vaguely remember hearing a psychologist came up with it for the military with tests and the whole nine.
9:56 Netflix recently released a docuseries called "Hell Camp" that showcases a boot camp with a similar purpose as this one, and also reveals how much those experiences tormented the kids that went through it, not to mention the fact that a 16yr old died in it, due to a heatstroke
I’m a man going into the mental health field myself. This shit is honestly sickening. As you said in the video I think the reason lots of men are so scared to talk about their mental health is because of conditioning like this that tells us we’re all supposed to be hardcore macho men. Traumatic experiences like this aren’t making you a better person they’re just gonna make it harder for you to actually address your problems and the fact that they even do this to kids is just despicable. I hate that we live in an age where these types view emotion in males as “weakness” but hopefully I can do my part to make things marginally better
i'm a man as well, and indeed this shit is just horrifying, these types of people literally exploit and scam insecure men (meanwhile tons of them defend these scammers, what with Andrew Tate, Hamza and so on) as they ironically brainwash them with the idea of showing emotions as weakness meanwhile they brag about their material possessions
as a man i think a huge reasson men are scared to talk about their feelings is when men talk about their problems theres always a feminist to say men have no problems and that werre sexist infact i might get a reply like that here
@@jackoplumkin6412 it can but it’s almost always feminists you see attacking men, especially online. It’s not men that tell men their problems aren’t real, they tend to be supportive.
Real military drill sergeants don’t BULLY their recruits. They train them for war, and war by nature is chaotic. That’s why drill sergeants yell, and even then they don’t fucking insult your very existence.
It’s basically a marine who never deployed taking out all his anger about how much he hates his life on a bunch of random people, and also he managed to rope his veteran friends into helping him do it. This dude is yelling because that all he wants to do there is more to training someone than just screaming at them 24/7, these guys are spending $18,000 and aren’t getting taught anything.
I’m not sure why we’re ragging on the instructor. Imagine if you could monetize your major malfunction. Mine would be a camp where you never see anyone but a single friendly cuddle cat or dog. It’s your dime. You make small, good meals for yourself and have no projects waiting or guilt for not being productive. Money please! The man is a genius… in need of intensive therapy.

Tbf this is a very old (and dumb) idea that suffering is liked to gaining moral virtue. You find it it religious dogma (the purgatory for example). And related to the "alpha" online culture it's just another toxic ideal of masculinity. In reality : suffering is nearly always bad, sometime, suffering in the case of punishment can be useful and therefore good, but only as a way to dissuade to continue doing bad stuff, or as a way to learn the hard way (for examle, you trashed a wall, and you are forced to wash it back) If people really want to improve themselve : there are many sensible ways to do it, therapists & doctors can help fix issues, diet, sports/gym, finding a hobby, self-development lessons (about gaining confidence, being bettter organized), actually socializing with people, learning new skills. i mean, they would probably gain way more by doing anything esle, like joining a cooking club, buy a gym or public pool membership or litterally anything, anything would have a better impact on their life (either by increasing their mental health, their physical fitness, their social skills, their knowledge & practical skills, etc) than spending 18k on some macho scam.
This reminds me of my ex selfharming through neglecting himself on purpose and "accidentally" getting himself into harmful situations, to see if he could get through. It made him miserable, it made me miserable, it made him unpleasant to be around and it usually involved me having to deal with it too, making things ten times harder than they needed to be. He did not grow, he did not learn, he just got more miserable, until the smallest thing made him scream in frustration. If you want to challenge yourself, babysit a difficult dog or try cleaning the house in one day.
Seconded the difficult dog. Pet sitting a puppy who wasn’t potty trained in a condo that costs more than I’ve ever made while it’s parents left the country for a long weekend was way more of a challenge

Sorry to break it to you but if you willingly pay $18k to be treated like this for 75 hours straight you don’t want to “man up”… you just have a degradation kink
I love the truck pulling clip, where you can clearly see the guy at the back of the line isn't doing any actual pulling, the rope is just sitting on his shoulder
I was in the Marine Corps, and I can certainly say that boot camp helped me with my self confidences but there was alot more to it than getting yelled at by DI's with marital issues. It was more about the culmination of a tough 3 months leading into a new and unknown chapter of my life. Save your 18k and just put that money into a martial arts class if you need to feel like a warrior.
This shit is not what makes men. Men don't get made in three days. Men are made through changes and having the right development behind them. The Corps made me strong but gave me the pieces to be who I am. Not through the challenges. But the people I was there with and the people I live for. However fellow crayon eaters. This is a genius business idea for us. Haze people three days? Hell yeah
@@xysarenottheprize Sleep is for pussies who have been brainwashed by social media and the leftist agenda. True men stay up all night doing push-ups and go through the day with a water bottle with pure caffeine in it and raw meat.
As someone who has actually been in the military and gone to boot camp, this reeks of the guys who say “I would have joined up and served my country, BUT…” and think this is what boot camp was like.
every single kids movie in the 90s had the protagonist being threatened with being sent to military school as like the worst thing that could happen and now the men who grew up on those movies can take their sons to do this
I was in something called Young Marine Academy. Kind of like military school. Very similar, I was yelled at and called names as a 10 year old by grown men in their 30s and 40s for not knowing the answers to questions and for making eye contact. They had a rule against eye contact with anyone of a higher rank than you. And they used physical training (PT) as punishment running, push-ups, etc, while being yelled at. I still have trouble maintaining eye contact as an adult. Thanks for the childhood trauma.
Those kids who's dads signed them up for the squire project due to their own insecurities deserve to be part of Chad Chad's modern knight club, that was so wholesome 😭😭
doing this with willing but vulnerable adults is one thing, doing this with likely unwilling children is actually disgusting its crazy how much parents are allowed to get away with without it being legally child abuse
2:50 Dude. This part reminds me so much of my dad. He went through this excact treatment when he was in the army. He’s the only guy in my family of 7 so whenever me or my siblings are just looking at him while he’s yelling at us, he gets so angry about how he thinks we are looking at him a type of way. He never got physically violent, but got into our faces a lot, then when we tried to move back or tell him to get out our face, he would go into rampage. I feel so bad for men that have to go through this just because they think that showing emotion is a bad thing.
Dude, same. My stepdad used to berate us for looking at him and accusing us of staring him down. Like sir, we were little girls wth. I used to carefully craft my resting face while he screamed or lectured us so as not to piss him off more. He was a big ole butthole.

I wonder what those men think they'll get out of it. They will still look the same, do the same job, the only thing that will be different is having 18k less and depending on their mental state additional trauma. If they couldn't get any women before this, they won't have any more luck after it.

If this is the case, I suggest you go to therapy before raising kids to not have the cycle of abuse happen again.
Childhood trauma IS real and there are resources to help people with it if you are in need. There is no shame in talking to a psychologist.

Being screamed at for a small mistake will make teens afraid to make mistakes, when mistakes are nearly nessicary for learning.
I was in the army and the drillmasters were such encouraging & respectful people, disappointing them caused me anxiety.
We all felt like that, the female and male recruits.
My own parents were totally useless and self righteous, I never respected them because they never gave me any reason.
But in the army everything changed, I started to trust other human beings again and actually cared for their wellbeing.
After the training most of us went back to uni for more degrees, but we are still in touch, I haven't spoken to my own 'parents' in decades and I couldn't be more happy about it.
It doesn't matter what you do to heal your emotional wounds, therapy, motivational training, online meditation lessons ... at least you shouldn't end up a bigger dipsh*t than you already are, blaming total strangers for your trauma and your own shortcomings in life won't help you to outgrow your problems.

I felt bad enough that there are men who feel insecure enough to torture themselves to prove their masculinity but it felt so much worse learning they were abusing their sons.
Edit: Also, thank you for the knight dance. That made it feel better.
I assure you men didn’t just shrug off the horrors of war. There’s a reason the Veterans of WW1 were called the lost generation and why Veterans of WW2 don’t often talk about their service.
Band of Brothers is a TV show based on the writings of Captain Winters of Easy Company. It very clearly documents the mental effects of the War as they went through it and real life interviews at the start of the episodes with the men of Easy Company clearly show it’s lasting effects throughout their life.
These things are traumatising and people who go through them shouldn’t be considered more Masculine for it. They should be recognised as victims and thanked for sacrificing their mental and physical health for their nation and then helped to recover.
@notrius7754 yeah but the general wasn't some random asshole who received dubious therapy and then turned it around and tortured other people. And you also say this like the military doesn't also actually torture and brainwash their own into thinking it's acceptable to kill fellow human beings. All veterans probably have some form of mental illness from the service they did. That's not proof of their masculinity. Violence is never a concept to use to amplify your own masculinity. There are so many other better ways to be a good man than to learn how to kill people and let yourself get brainwashed into becoming a tool of the military industry.
@notrius7754Men back then were fucked up tho, most war veterans are traumatised and have problems living a normal life. They went through worse things than what men do today but that doesn't mean they handled it well. Military camps made them physically stronger but also colder and more cruel which is good for war but not when you're trying to be a happy, social human being with a nice family. If men wanna become strong they should just try to go to the gym and maybe seek out help for their mental health.
@notrius7754 probably bc they weren't addicted to technology and even tho most of them were lowkey poor, it kinda was easier to get a home and get children back then. They had women to take care of the home and women were expected to have tons of children and couldn't and didn't really think they had another choice. So men kinda had more freetime after work. I think people have more problems socializing today. Men need to be social and I think most men find it hard to have a community. It was easier to get jobs back then and people usually shared similar interests. And it was more encouraged and normal to go out. I also think the fact that they went through so much hardship made then appreciate life more. I still think most of men back then had issues tho women too. Domestic violence was common, child abuse too, cheating, rape and violence too. You could argue that we still have it today and that it's more common but I think it's bc people speak out about it more now but atleast it's considered bad these days. Also I don't think most people believed in depression back then even today when I meet older people they think it doesn't exists even tho they show clear signs of being mentally unwell. But yeah I just think men today should find good communities and do that without having someone yell and bully them. There's good training camps that make you strong and happy and helps you create good friends out there without the ptsd.
@notrius7754 For one thing you have to consider the gradual recognition and acknowledgement of mental health. Simply looking at data could be misleading because only up until recent years has there been more recognition of mental health issues while previously a traumatized person may live their entire life without knowing they are traumatized. I don't know what to say about Politicians because I'm not American + I have a bias that all politicians regardless of leaning are people that cares the most abt their own profit no matter what age or time so xx.
Plus I wouldn't really make the connection of having children=more happy and social lives. Generally speaking people only have more children per mother when there are high rates of infant mortality or higher rates of poverty (so kids could act as a labor force).
And finally, I would never ever say going to war is a good thing. War has been extremely dramatized and sensationalized by modern media and it really hurts me when I hear people portray war as some heroic/honorable leap into martyrdom or whatever.

I feel like a joke about A/B/O existing being a canon event would be appropriate but idk how to formulate that.
What's more ironic about that is that some that believe in that type of hierarchy that "There can be only one alpha", it's very hostile and Alpha Females can't Exist because no more than 1 can exist. There are other types similar in which Alpha Males and Alpha Females exist and tend to find one another, i.e Power Couples, and Several Power Couples supporting each other form larger packs / societies. The 1st type is similar to the Toxic "Worship-style" Relationship, in which one must be the Idol and the Other is a mindless obedient beta.

YES. THAT'S RIGHT. You got it. You are correct.
@@tacwolf4962🍎Apples =/= Oranges🍊 my guy.
I agree with you a lot. The common denominator of men who do this is that they are alone in a way and they've never been humbled in their life; but are yearning for those things while at the same time looking for connectivity that can't be re-created without collective suffering and trauma bonding. As a prior military service member turned mental health professional, I've unfortunately seen this way too much. They probably have friends in the military or first responder careers. And as taxing as that lifestyle is on friends and family and all other things "normal"; there's a collective understanding amongst all who have served that we are not alone. These men see that, and they want it for themselves too but couldn't achieve it on their own; be it by choice or other circumstances. When it comes down to it, they want to prove themselves by taking the easy way out without getting to the core of their actual problems; something that ACTUAL therapy would heal.
This is the culmination of toxic masculinity, a lack of positive masculinity, and a few entrepreneurs that leverage the little experience they have in taking advantage of vulnerable people.
On side note: Most of these "instructors" aren't combat-hardened special forces veterans. They definitely served, but they did the bare minimum. Most of those instructors were aircraft mechanics, supply clerks, and armored truck operators. They were not storming buildings taking on bullets every day. They stood back while the real humble professionals did the dirty work. Their service records are public record, feel free to look them up :)

@@adrenalineactivateThat’s always been such a dumb propaganda talking point for misogynists. Women and girls get so much shit if they express any emotion other than reserved pleasantness.
If women or girls are excited about something, they’re mocked. If they don’t laugh at something that’s not funny, they’re called rude. If they’re just existing, they’re told to smile. If they sound unhappy while articulating themselves, they’re told to calm down. If they’re angry (without being violent or aggressive), they’re called crazy.
Men get to express a lot more emotion without people giving them shit. The biggest difference is the friend groups. Men and boys make fun of their friends for expressing emotions other than anger. Women and girls tend to be supportive and kind. If men and boys want more emotional support, then start giving more emotional support. It’s not rocket science; hell, I figured it out.

I’m mostly just surprised that two dozen grown men had $18,000 each and they chose this over therapy, a vacation, a gaming rig, a new vehicle, down payment for a house, investing, or a trainer in a gym, etc.
In my state, $18,000 is enough for a 9% downpayment on a $200,000 FHA home loan and is likely enough for all the closing costs of a $200,000 USDA home loan (which does not have a minimum downpayment requirement but does have closing costs). It's also WAY more than enough to buy a reliable used car for driving to work (so you can make money). If a "real man" is supposed to be financially responsible so they can provide for a family, these guys aren't "real men".

As a veteran I’m disgusted by this. Suicide rates are so high in the military. They shouldn’t be putting children through this!

I maybe overstepping here but I don't think most vets of tier one units would throw someone into the suck as their first self improvement solution
And don't forget the huge issue of SA within the US military. Not to mention all the war crimes they commit and have committed. And Chad mentioned "all of the instructors are "
'ex-military' and 'ex-cops'", so that just tells you what kind of people are in the US military and police force. Too many US Americans are delusional.

I once heard an ex-evangelical woman talk about her abusive father going to one of these "self-improvement" boot camps at the recommendation of their church leader. When he came back, he was no less abusive, but now he had the suffering he paid to go through at that camp as a new weapon to use against his children and wife. Whenever they would cry or get angry at him for how he treated them, he would pull out the vanity dog-tags that the boot camp gave him and yell that they didn't understand what pain was, none of them were going to belittle him or diminish him anymore because he had "been through too much", etc. It seemed that he had essentially purchased a traumatic experience to hold over his family members heads, to diminish their own suffering and fear of him.
Maybe it's uncharitable, but I do wonder how many similar cases these camps create. These men are essentially paying to be screamed at, belittled, threatened with violence, and emotionally broken down by an authority figure, and are told that it is a positive character-building experience to be treated this way. How many of them then go home and become that authority figure to their families--who did not pay for the privilege, and can't leave?

I’m absolutely the type of guy to be strong and “manly”, hell I box for fun and go to the gym every day consistently, but I was blessed with an amazing father that taught me that while strength is important, you need to be kind, compassionate, and honest with yourself about your emotions. Because of that, I’ve noticed that compared to other men I know, I’m far more relaxed, confident, and understanding with others. Not everyone has a present father, so to waste your presence with your son on something as frankly childish and weak-minded as this, basically telling someone else to do the dirty work for you, that’s unforgivable imo.

Man: gets emotionally abused by his father -> gets away from his abusive father, overcomes his trauma and earns confidence -> now thinks the abuse was what made him confident -> becomes abusive
Some men are living in a perpetual loop of stockholm syndrome
That’s patriarchy for you. It teaches men that cutting out their emotions and abusing others is the only way to true happiness. Such a bullshit system
literally what happened between me and my own dad. he was severely abused by his parent when he was growing up, and tried to continue that cycle with me and siblings because he was convinced that it was good parenting and that not only did we deserve it, but that it would make us better in the end. my mom on the other hand was also abused by her father, but tried everything in her power to raise her children with kindness and not let the cycle continue to the next generation. she would always stand up for us and do whatever it took to protect us and make sure we were ok, and obviously dad didn't like that very much. i'm an adult now and i haven't spoken to my father in years, and honestly don't plan on changing that any time soon because from what i've heard he hasn't changed a bit. luckily my mom, all of my siblings, and i are doing great now; meanwhile dad is just as miserable as he was before and wonders why his kids don't speak to him.

Hmmm...that doesn't sound like "Alpha" to me
so...to be an alpha you have to be an omega?? or a beta, in their words.
that is why I call my friends betas, as they may one day become alphas like me
and I'm just so kind and loving that I want the best for my STUPID UGLY BETA friends
hot tip to be an alpha: don't pay another man $18,000 to humiliate, degrade, and torture you.
I didn't think I needed to spell that out.
Half the guys who enlist take pay cuts to join up. You're telling me half the men in our armed forces are cucks to other men?
just join the army at that point. at least they pay you
Manosphere strategy: 1. Waste lifesavings on getting bullied relentlessly. 2. Get home and blame women for poor mental health.
And then wonder why divorce rates r higher and why most woman don't want to settle anymore. Sike obviously the reason is "feminism"😂

@@meowbahhytOf course it's not for everyone, especially for betas like you.
My husband, (who's in the military, so he got paid to go through this shit, basically), is really dedicated to male mental health, especially for military men and other men who think that therapy is for "pussies." This shit makes me so sad because these men are disenfranchised and depressed. Men in the US are killing themselves in staggering numbers, and the rate of military men who kill themselves lead me to believe that boot-camp is not the cure. Based on what my husband saw in his peers, I bet it makes the suicidality much worse (though there isn't necessarily empirical evidence to suggest as much). Just. Ugh. This is so sad. Those men need and deserve real help. They're desperate. It breaks my heart.
Exactly. I don't why they thought it was a good idea to copy the structure of military training (except worse) when the biggest issue for military personnel are suicide and sexual harassment/assault.

14:12 this whole montage is so cute to me for no reason😭❤ WAYY better than the mordern day bootcamp
I can see why this would appeal to people. I kinda got forced into doing something _slightly_ similar to this boot camp by my parents, and it’s true, making it through a bunch of tough experiences really does make the day to day struggles feel easier to deal with. But the main difference is that the “modern day knight” camp is built to make you ignore your suffering and squash down your emotions, when instead, the true way for tough experiences to be used to help you should be by giving you a feeling of “if I could get through that, I can get through this too!”
In the camp I went through, the instructors were strict (and absolutely terrifying), but they never insulted anyone, they toned things down when they noticed anyone struggling, they never shamed anyone for lagging behind or saying no to things, and they congratulated and encouraged everyone after making it through the day. I’m a scrawny, underweight girl who doesn’t do any physical activity beyond picking up a pencil, but never once did the instructors EVER make me feel bad when I ran out of breath or fell behind. So, while that camp was torture for me and I would never do anything like that again in my life, now that it’s over, I can say that it had a genuinely positive impact on me and my self esteem! Because I did something I thought I wouldn’t be capable of, and I was encouraged to push through it until the end! Not pushed down by instructors on a power trip who intentionally try to make people quit, like the ones in this video specifically admitted was their goal.
It’s bad enough for the men and especially the children who made it all the way through this video’s camp, but imagine how bad this is for the people who were broken down until they quit. All they’re left with is the feeling that all the degradation they received is true, the belief that they’re too weak to overcome challenges, and a massive hole in their wallets. This isn’t how things should be.
I’m rambling a ton now, but what I was trying to say is that even if there’s some merit to the basic concept of this, the way it’s executed takes away all the good of it and causes only harm. If anyone is feeling tempted by this camp, go train for a marathon instead! Or go to the gym! Do some difficult feats where you can see visible improvement in your self so you can keep yourself encouraged. Being put down and screamed at and pointlessly tortured won’t ever do any good.
I love this comment! Thanks for sharing your experience!
I’m also a small girl, not really underweight but I don’t weigh much. Also not so physically active. So it’s encouraging to hear that you were able to accomplish this and benefit from it! Good job.
Gotta agree, doing something like a marathon or tough mudder is similar for that feeling of having conquored something immense and having that experience build your self esteem. Most of those are also waaay cheaper to join. You could even do a zombie run if you wanna make it more fun.
Bro, you need real people to talk with...
But also yes: Working out and overcoming obstacles makes people feel good and more confident. Shocking, truly.
I agree mostly, but some people thrive under negative reinforcement and not everyone thinks like you. The fact that your apparently a scrawny undersized girl after going through this camp probably shows that you couldve used less positivity 🤷♂️
@@jesustyronechrist2330 if you mean therapy, i agree.
The difference between this and the military is that if you’re running, the instructor is running too, if you’re doing an obstacle course they’re right next to you the entire time, they might be yelling at you the entire time you’re doing it but it creates an idea that they aren’t there to torment you, they are training you and they want you to succeed
Not sure what military you went into, my experience was a bunch of failed, talentless nobodies who couldnt never succeed in the real world and now thought they had the right to push me around because of a little sticker on their shoulder
Military instructors have it 10x harder too
As a gay beta masochist who wants to improve myself while engaging in financial domination play, I see this as an absolute win
That’s the kinda camp I oughta run hahaha
literally the 1st thing i thought when they mentioned how much this damn thing costs. its GOT to be fetish, theres no other way anyone would wanna be here
this made me laugh
Honestly, a dominatrix or sadist would cost less and they probably know more about safety than any of these alphas
How do you feel knowing that you have posted this?
i think, sure, there's a value in sometimes going through something hard so you can grow and get perspective on things. it's also good to get physically stronger and more fit (but that's gonna take longer than a weekend).
but stuff like this is straight up dangerous, and creates dangerous men. i feel like bootcamp and military training (at least the version we see in Hollywood movies etc) is highly focused on dehumanizing soldiers so they are willing to go into battle and kill and risk their own lives. that's not something we need in ordinary society!! and it's seriously f-ed up that some consider going through that as being necessary to "become a real man"
The whole alpha beta thing is based off of wolves in captivity. It's a perfect allegory for these men. Dogs trapped in a mental prison of their own design.
the guy who created that system spent the past 13 years of his life trying to convince people ge was wrong
How bad do you have to feel about yourself to allow this kind of grift to seduce you? Really feel bad for the people who sign up for this
@@sjsomething4936 eh, I mean I kinda get it. Maybe it's just cause I went to Catholic school and that shit kinda messes you up (not like that), but I can totally see how a lonely, insecure young guy might end up going down that path. I mean none of it _actually_ makes any sense, but I can see how it might make sense to someone in a more vulnerable headspace... hopefully that makes sense lol
@@idontwantahandlethough yea, cults don't target stupid people, they target lonely people, wich sucks, but you can't help someone who doesn't want you to.
At the end of the day they signed an that's that.
I'm more concerned for the kids here. There's no way of knowing if they actually wanted this shit, and probably not honestly.
Is the guy that came up with that a psychologist? I vaguely remember hearing a psychologist came up with it for the military with tests and the whole nine.
9:56 Netflix recently released a docuseries called "Hell Camp" that showcases a boot camp with a similar purpose as this one, and also reveals how much those experiences tormented the kids that went through it, not to mention the fact that a 16yr old died in it, due to a heatstroke
I’m a man going into the mental health field myself. This shit is honestly sickening. As you said in the video I think the reason lots of men are so scared to talk about their mental health is because of conditioning like this that tells us we’re all supposed to be hardcore macho men. Traumatic experiences like this aren’t making you a better person they’re just gonna make it harder for you to actually address your problems and the fact that they even do this to kids is just despicable. I hate that we live in an age where these types view emotion in males as “weakness” but hopefully I can do my part to make things marginally better
i'm a man as well, and indeed this shit is just horrifying, these types of people literally exploit and scam insecure men (meanwhile tons of them defend these scammers, what with Andrew Tate, Hamza and so on) as they ironically brainwash them with the idea of showing emotions as weakness meanwhile they brag about their material possessions
That, and almost 0% confidentiality, unless you manage to find a chaplain with a seminary degree to talk to.
as a man i think a huge reasson men are scared to talk about their feelings is when men talk about their problems theres always a feminist to say men have no problems and that werre sexist
infact i might get a reply like that here
@@nobodythenobody9779 Doesn't have to be a "feminist". It can be other men too.
@@jackoplumkin6412 it can but it’s almost always feminists you see attacking men, especially online.
It’s not men that tell men their problems aren’t real, they tend to be supportive.
Real military drill sergeants don’t BULLY their recruits. They train them for war, and war by nature is chaotic. That’s why drill sergeants yell, and even then they don’t fucking insult your very existence.
It’s basically a marine who never deployed taking out all his anger about how much he hates his life on a bunch of random people, and also he managed to rope his veteran friends into helping him do it. This dude is yelling because that all he wants to do there is more to training someone than just screaming at them 24/7, these guys are spending $18,000 and aren’t getting taught anything.
Most Veterans would be dissapointed about this tbh
@@uhokiguessik I am
Honestly just a get rich quick scheme run by lazy losers
I’m not sure why we’re ragging on the instructor. Imagine if you could monetize your major malfunction.

This dudes philosophy of “if they suffer they will be better!!” is literally the same thing that Jigsaw from Saw thinks.
Tbf this is a very old (and dumb) idea that suffering is liked to gaining moral virtue.
You find it it religious dogma (the purgatory for example).
And related to the "alpha" online culture it's just another toxic ideal of masculinity.
In reality : suffering is nearly always bad, sometime, suffering in the case of punishment can be useful and therefore good, but only as a way to dissuade to continue doing bad stuff, or as a way to learn the hard way (for examle, you trashed a wall, and you are forced to wash it back)
If people really want to improve themselve : there are many sensible ways to do it, therapists & doctors can help fix issues, diet, sports/gym, finding a hobby, self-development lessons (about gaining confidence, being bettter organized), actually socializing with people, learning new skills.
i mean, they would probably gain way more by doing anything esle, like joining a cooking club, buy a gym or public pool membership or litterally anything, anything would have a better impact on their life (either by increasing their mental health, their physical fitness, their social skills, their knowledge & practical skills, etc) than spending 18k on some macho scam.

It always amazes me that these so called experts are always single.
This reminds me of my ex selfharming through neglecting himself on purpose and "accidentally" getting himself into harmful situations, to see if he could get through.
It made him miserable, it made me miserable, it made him unpleasant to be around and it usually involved me having to deal with it too, making things ten times harder than they needed to be.
He did not grow, he did not learn, he just got more miserable, until the smallest thing made him scream in frustration.
If you want to challenge yourself, babysit a difficult dog or try cleaning the house in one day.
Seconded the difficult dog. Pet sitting a puppy who wasn’t potty trained in a condo that costs more than I’ve ever made while it’s parents left the country for a long weekend was way more of a challenge

They had a rule against eye contact with anyone of a higher rank than you. And they used physical training (PT) as punishment running, push-ups, etc, while being yelled at. I still have trouble maintaining eye contact as an adult. Thanks for the childhood trauma.
