When did people start using "red pilled" instead of "the truth"?
Do they think it makes them look cool or something?
>>75942307
apperently some lesbians came up with the "redpill" thing.
>>75942307
It's an analogy from the matrix, more powerful and less retarded than saying "lol I learned the truth :^)"
Who the fuck knows and who the fuck cares
It's just part of the jargon at this point
It illustrates the tradeoff of learning an important but uncomfortable truth read some Plato you American moron there's an allegory in there about a cave that even you might understand
how does /pol/ feel knowing that the term was propagated by the Wachowski sisters (formerly the Wachowski brothers)?
>>75942491
The truth is always uncomfortable and always different for everyone
The red pill analogy is faulty because it implies that you're somehow better off, which is why at the end of the Matrix they give people a choice to stay in the simulation.

The only thing retarded is how modern western culture can only communicate through memes, "the truth" has been used up until a couple of years ago.
>>75942307
It's the equivalent of niggers saying 'woke'.
>>75942722
who says being redpilled on something is going to make your life better? can't you see how happy idiots can be?
>>75942722
really, the truth is that the internet is destroying culture and language at an astronomical rate, and it's the very nature of the technology that's degenerate. Hell even the word "Degenerate" is just another meme used to replace "sin" or "wrong"
Unabomber was right
>>75942778
This. Memesters need to burn.
The danger of the "pill" analogy is that it assumes the truth is something you just consume or take, when in reality it requires doing.
But no you're not doing shit, you're just staring at a screen.
The internet has to be destroyed, it's the only thing that could actually cause action in this day and age.
>>75942778
it's the result of the internet destroying attention span and literacy of a whole generation. Dont pretend like "old" 4chan was any better, it really wasn't it was just less populated
"Da proof" lost meaning a long time ago.
Who gives a fuck anyway?
>>75943488
On traditional conspiracy forums, you have "truther" and "Sheeple" as the memes instead of red/blue pill.
Same difference though really.
>>75942307
Some faggots think they are trapped in the Matrix.
>>75942307
"the truth" sounds too hippy, fag. Just say redpill now.
>>75942410
>Who the fuck knows
Literally everyone except you.
>>75942307
The matrix
>>75944352
Could someone please blue pill me? The truth is painful.
>>75944525
The blue pill never worked; taking the redpill was always analogous to suspending disbelief long enough to consider the what-if of potential reality. Once you frame it like that, about 99% will follow the thought experiment to its conclusion, and then they either accept the evidence and the conclusion it frames, reject the conclusion for lack of evidence, or attempt to go back to the matrix and reject the evidence
>>75944883
Okay, so can someone just reinsert me into the matrix? I'd like to be wealthy if it isn't too much of a bother.
>>75942307
Around the time the matrix came out.
>>75942307
nice i just saw the matrix myself and i gotta say if the future is as white as the matrix says it is im all in :^)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
white is my favorite colour of the rainbow by the way
>>75942722
>The only thing retarded is how modern western culture can only communicate through memes
do you not understand how human interaction works or something?
the advent of memetics is a natural continuation of patterns of human interaction, when people are given the complete freedom, or at least what they think is complete freedom, to communicate
the truth can have many faces, the redpill has only one
>>75942307
"red pilled" is a term for people who accepts "painful truth on our reality" based in matrix film whereas "the truth" might be based on other subjects like religious organizations, cult of personality organizations, interest movements, etc.
>>75942307
Someone redpill me on OPs mother?
>>75942705
by a nigger
who /ironpill/ here?
