I just discovered this subreddit about an hour ago, and so happy that I'm not the only one who thinks the red pill community is shady (or at least something similar with that word)

As the title says, I want to talk about my ex-best friend who is a victim of red pill brainwashing

The dude was always ahead of me in life, with women, school/grades, and work. But he is also very insecure about himself, his body, his status, and being a single dad. That is what bothers him most. He also doesn't have a great relationship with his both parents since he was mainly raised by his grandparents. He had a lot of rocky relationships in the past, like getting cheated on by his now ex-wife, and almost getting stabbed to death by his psychotic ex-girlfriend.

So I'm not surprised he fell into this "Red pill" community, he got into Entrepreneurs in cars at first, but he wasn't that bad since he give mostly decent advice, but what is so off about that guy is he gets angry if you disagree with him. It was that bad overall, but then he got introduced to Andrew Tate...

He will constantly send me clips of Tate's "advice" on anything, life, wealth and women, etc. I just found him funny at first because I don't take these pseudo-intellectuals seriously. Since I read self-development books pretty often and he doesn't, so seeing Tate with all these advices and adding nonsense to make himself sound smart didn't work on me.

He keeps recommending me the "red pill" community so I checked them out, it was to be one of the worst cult-like communities I've ever seen, docile men, no sense of self-awareness, straight-up psychopathic behaviors, etc. When I told him that the community is a fucked up place, he doesn't see what was wrong with that and called me dramatic.

He starts to judge me regularly or ridicule me for not being "manly" enough. Not just that, he starts to project his insecurities toward me, I have gotten over my insecurities by accepting myself and my flaws, but he was stuck with them for too long he turned into a covert narcissist.

His flexing has gotten out of hand as well, he will brag about anything, first I didn't care because I'm doing my own things, but in the end, it's just getting annoying.

Because of my ADHD, I have Hypersensitivity disorder so I could end up explosive with anger when he keeps crossing the line. That's when our relationship went down badly. I don't want to go into details on how things went, but I'll just say no one is a good guy in the fight.

It's been a month now since he blocked me. You can see how the Red pill can damage a person.
