Redpill is ruining young men.

Pretty much the main reason I stopped following the red pill...it can corrupt the soul and distort your world view...

This is a dark timeline

Don't beat up your mama she loves you

God these kids are doomed, especially the girls

It does teach it though. Women aren't equals, they're not smart enough, unemotional enough to make decisions. I Actually JUST saw a comment yesterday about one guy complaining about living with his Mom like he was put upon. His attitude and the responses, about putting her in her place, getting revenge, were really sick. And now I hear about stuff like this? yeah, it absolutely teaches them to hate women, their Mom's are women. they also often blame their Moms for the lack of Dad doing his part. They take it out on her because she's around, and easier to push around. There's no "positive" to RP. They don't teach betterment for positive reasons, but as something to potentially use over people, to get status. This always, always was a part of this. Same with them siding with family annihilators as if the murderer was the victim. These people have personality traits like being anti-social, low in agreeableness etc. that already are trouble. This ideology just accentuates it.

Just watched the video and frankly this kid is just nuts. I don't know who he is or if he's a redpill streamer or whatever but to me he just seems like someone with psychological issues rather than someone who's watched too much Andrew Tate.

The solution is so easy girls... only coffee dates the first month. Get to know him and you'll be able to observe the red flags early on before getting emotionally trapped...seriously, coffee dates. Be very observing and if they seem redpilled just ghost block them.

Are these the effects of the redpill ideology? Beating up the woman who raised you?

No. Does gangsta rap turn suburban kids from healthy households into cold blooded killers?

Anyone who beats up their mother has a whole nother thing going on with them, just like someone who kills someone else for being slighted has a whole nother thing going on with them.

Furthermore, to get to the point of "women are all whores", etc., you need to be seriously stuck inside an echo chamber, in their case, their discord echo chamber. And the problem of ideological echo chambers is not limited to quasi red pill beliefs. The far left is fucking nuts. The far right is fucking nuts. And the "all women are whores" crowd are fucking nuts too, but they're fringe just as the far left / far right are fringe.

It seems more like a problem of echo chambers and mutual validation... it's a positive feedback loop; the beliefs incrementally become more radical as they get validated, rinsed and repeated and never challenged. Or all challenged views are treated by their peers / in-group as beneath contempt, this happens in echo chambers as well, so people considering opposing views feeling shameful or embarrassed or stupid for even considering them.

We run away from disagreement, people downvote the shit out of you on reddit if they disagree with you... and this is a cultural problem. We need to teach people to look for people who disagree with them. If you've shared your idea with 5 people and they all agreed, that's a red flag! Find some pushback... but this isn't what we preach, we like echo chambers and validation. And in my opinion, that's the biggest factor for a lot of the modern radical toxic views in any ideology, red pill or otherwise.

Most ideologies in general are meant for the betterment of the society but when taken out of context and to extremes they become toxic. It’s just another example of that. The actual Redpill stuff is good for a man but hating women isn’t. Idk who the other influencers are but Tate has said multiple times that women are good and they shouldn’t be hated for any reasons at all but as it has always been people take it out of context and do stupid stuff.

Like everything in life, it's always more nuanced and complex than black and white. Black and white thinking is exactly how these men get corrupted. So I urge you away from this dark way of thinking as well. Though I don't deny that Red Pill is toxic, but it itself is not the sole reason.

No man ever seeks out Red Pill for the sake of Red Pill. They seek it out because they're hurting or suffering in one way or another. And Red Pill is a 'coping mechanism."

I'm not going to watch an hour long stream to make a post, but a lot of these boys don't exactly come from "perfect and happy house holds."

If a man is growing up in a broken family with a single-mother parent, it means one of the parents royally goofed up, and odds are--both of them did. Bad parenting leads to childhood trauma which leads to coping mechanisms. Make sense?

To make things even worse, is often times their very mothers behave and act in the ways Red Pill warns about. You can't tell a man to touch grass and "see the real world." If HIS world is his mother behaving exactly as Red Pill teaches women act. It makes the cycle even harder to break, because he doesn't see Red Pill as some crazy man rhetoric on the internet, but an actual experience he grew up in.

---

The big problem isn't so much Red Pill, because it's just a coping mechanism like alcohol, or drugs. The problem is finding the root cause of their trauma, and preventing future kids from being traumatized.

And ironically, that's why part of Red Pill promotes traditional marriages. Traditional marriages weren't just about the parents, but also providing a stable and healthy environment for the children.

The root cause is really unhealthy people having children they're not prepared for. They create childhood trauma, and those children grow up to be toxic individuals.

At the very least, I can be grateful that birthrates have declined, and less toxic people are having toxic children.

I'm really glad Media of all places have been trying to push back against this. Movies like Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, Encanto, and Turning Red have their main story plots revolving around healing family trauma, and coming together to be healthier people at the end.

Why do you think its just men…its mostly men

But There are a vast amount of people following this

Many women are also perpetuating this bs (whether its cynically for views or they are true believers of patriarchal culture i cant be sure)

Ask yourself first what’s driving men towards the red pill.

Also, understand that not all content is red pill. There’s a lack of masculinity and many times a young man looking for it is going to find it in RP content because society is otherwise trying to rid itself of masculinity.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

I think you should take with a grain of salt what teenage boys say on Discord before talking about any general trend.
