because there is a strange relationship between the redpill and the right

This can't be generalized to all conservatives, but the biggest parallel I see between RedPill and what is often associated with the right is an emphasis on tradition as being superior and better for people than what is offered in the modern world.

RedPill has this nostalgia for past gender dynamics. The man as the traditional breadwinner who took on a more assertive and dominant role in the relationship. And the women were more submissive and dependent on men.

And among some conservatives (especially religious conservatives), there is that shared embrace of traditional roles and a desire to preserve past traditions. Virtually all of my friends who got married and had children before the age of 23 came from Christian conservative families. Whereas with my upbringing, there was a huge emphasis on education, establishing yourself on your own, and living a life that is true to you- rather than following a traditional blueprint.

The link between RP and the right that I see most apparently is the idealization of traditional roles.

At first, I think it’s the “pull yourself by your bootstraps” mentality, and the false sense of control they both provide. Than deeper, it becomes linked to the need of authority, and plain hatred.

Also, I do think that in the broad culture there a lot of emphasis on women struggles. Or at least it could feel that way. Look at plus size models for example, it’s 100% a women thing. It’s not like women don’t judge fat guys. Which cause a need for a counter ideology for some people.

Redpill and right wing thinking both embrace certainty regardless of contrary facts and seem to propose a kind of 'essentialism' and sense of unchanging 'realities'

If I can convince you that all women desire certain qualities in a man and boil down your misfortunes to something you alone are responsible for, its not hard for me to then convince you of other right wing and ultimately authoritarian ideas. Ignoring complexity in favor of erroneous simplicity and having an unwavering sense of what is 'right' are the necessary components for anyone to become and accept authoritarianism.

Maybe because redpill comunity is against femenism and the left...

There’s been that push lately where a lot of left people are trying to blame white guys for things. And that’s probably going to result in a counter push somewhere.
