Thanks to Roosh, et al., the Red Pill is not as esoteric as it once was, but redemption still remains to be had.

During the past few years, it was recognized that a man had to take the Red Pill in order to fully wake up from the widespread gynocentric indoctrination so prevalent in the culture.  But most men couldn’t do this unless they were first tied to the feminist whipping post and had all the lies beat out of their heads.

Catacomb Resident wrote,

“But despite the near unanimity of testimonies of men here having to walk through the fires of Hell to get here, I’m still not convinced this should be treated as normative.  Some of you seem to come close to saying that.  Typical maybe, but not at all necessary to get to the point we are now.”

If society wasn’t so far off the mark, maybe crawling through Hell wouldn’t be necessary.  But what we typically see is that men (and women too) will dawdle along in their Blue Pill / churchian / Feminist Life Script delusions until a traumatic experience shakes them up.  That’s how most men find the Red Pill.

Aside from the Red Pill experience of waking up from the cultural indoctrination, the shattering of paradigms in general seems to be a typical experience in finding faith as well.  This is also true for both men and women.

I counsel students regularly.  One student I spoke with yesterday was really broken.  She is a Christian from Indonesia.  She broke up with her boyfriend because of religious differences.  (He’s a Muslim.)  Then her best friend snatched up her ex-boyfriend and rubbed it in her face.  Her social circle rejected her in favor of the new pair.  In addition to being heartbroken and rejected, she’s also all alone in a foreign country, with all the responsibilities of succeeding in her studies and taking care of herself.  She was coming apart at the seams in every which way.  She cried the whole time we talked.  But… the good news is that she found God, and I can attest that she truly has.

Her story feeds into the phenomenon that is sometimes cynically discussed here as a trope — that women only “find God” after chasing after the Career Life Script / Feminist Life Script, i.e. riding the carousel for 10 years before hitting the wall and having nothing to show for it.  Well, sometimes it’s true.  Their souls might find redemption, but those vital years of opportunities to do right are gone forever.  It goes back to what Jesus said about losing one’s life in this world in order to find everlasting Life.  That’s great for them, but of course it does nothing for the interests of marriage minded men.

The same sort of thing happens to men too.  But the circumstances and effects are unique to men.  This is apparently what happened with Roosh.

Anyway, from what I’ve seen, that is how it usually happens.  People fail or mess up their lives, and then they find faith / God.

All this said, I do not disagree with Catacomb Resident that the way forward should be made more evident to people and as a consequence, less destructive and messy.

In some ways, we are seeing this happen now.  Red Pill truths are becoming so widespread that many men are picking up on the grisly gristle and grist of things without going through the meat grinder. It’s getting to the saturation point where enough men have woken up that it is forcing women to wake up too.  But it’s probably too late for Gen X and most Millennial women, unfortunately.  Femininity and family formation has a 10 year expiration date.
