To me the Alpha Mentality is just stupidity in another Yes-Man form. Seems you hold the alpha mentality deeply and respect those you seem as alpha. By your own logic, cult leaders are alpha and should be respected. Respect can only be earned, continuously reinforced, and lost in a single moment. Respect cannot be demanded or forcefully requested. Watch the first episode of "Band of Brothers". Who would you want as a leader, the alpha, one with power, Captain Herbert Sobel or 2nd Lutenaint Richard Winters, the one without power?
