In Andrew Tate world, the word for it is "sigma male". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) It seems possible OP is actually classifying the shepherds/grifters as sheepdogs, and imagining a separate group at the top that doesn't exist.

Lots of people in the White House are only marginally different from that. permalink fedilink source parent
