Trigger Warning: I’m going to be deconstrucing and questioning core, fundamental RP theory. Feel free to thumb me down and call me a beta but as long as you give some stimulating insight I’ll be happy to discuss.

Intro

In a nutshell, this post is me reaching out to a mostly silent percentage or at least what I think is a minority of dudes who browse this sub. I’ve seen a number of dudes speak out for virtues, trying to build a better society, family, etc. Personally, I agree with all of that. I think that losing sight of what our ancestors learned about the world and life is only playing into the blue pill narrative and in effect detrimental to us as individuals. But then the question is:

What exactly is the Red Pill and what does it stand for?

That’s a loaded question, because the term “red pill” didn’t originate from this sub in the way that we see it. It obviously came from the movie ’The Matrix’ but other communities have used the term “red pill” for any sort of rude awakening loooong before we did. But in terms of our sub, TRP is basically a reactionary movement to the vaginal society surrounding us nowadays. That’s easy.

In terms of what this sub stands for… I honestly don’t even know. Let’s take the sub’s description:

“The Red Pill: Discussion of sexual strategy in a culture increasingly lacking a positive identity for men.”

So on the surface, TRP seems to be just about sex and how to get it. However, TRP seems to adapt post by post. In a post that’s about getting pussy, everyone will say that TRP isn’t just about getting poon and that it’s about getting better as a man. And yet, a few posts down the home page, one that has to do with building a foundation in society or maybe denouncing promiscous sex is seen with the claim that TRP is only a sexual strategy and that you don’t owe anyone shit and “just enjoy the decline, bro!”

I’ll take the sub’s description at its word and see it as a sexual strategy guide for the sake of consitency. However, this is where my conflict with TRP begins. If this were just a sexual strategy club, why wouldn’t I just turn over to a PUA sub? What difference is there between endlessly chasing pussy and the other simpletons that chase sex for the rest of their lives? You don’t need any of this shit to get laid; plenty of degenerates don’t. You don’t even need to work hard. Put yourself in a club scene for a year, be a social, chill dude and you’ll get laid like a king.

But the even bigger issue I have is the pervasive nihilism/cynicism that is in this sub. There’s this implied assumption that if you say “f*ck society” and just put your dick in wet holes you’re somehow better off. In my mind, you’re playing right into the enemy’s hand you so despise. Society *wants* you dumbed down by mindless sex and drugs and consumerism. You’re the same as the other hoardes of robots that also live for that stuff. Everybody else is having sex, you just have an advantage on your side (to put it very kindly). That’s the only difference. TRP tries to wake you up from the matrix by giving you the rules of the matrix. You’re still playing by its rules.

If this is what you want, fine. But be honest about it. You’re doing what everybody else is doing, albeit in a larger frequency.

Looking Beyond Just P*ssy

Men have built civilizations. They’ve followed religion to build families and philosophy in the pursuit of knowledge. They’ve fought for what they believed in. I believe the concept of the Red Pill goes WAY, WAAY beyond women. If TRP were an iceberg, women would be the clouds up top. They’re not even in the iceberg. Women are entry level red pills to what the world really is.

The concept of The Red Pill to me is reality at its purest. At least, what we can interpret from it with our human brains. It’s philosophy, finding out about a higher truth. It’s about the search for enlightment through meditation. It’s giving to the world as a leader rather than being a taker. Looking out for the tribe. Following our instincts to create but at the same time, having a handle on your primal urges. It’s about finding the right balance between selfishness for your own well-being and selflessness to be able to provide value into the world. The most nihilistic TRPers would have you believe that someone like Marcus Aurelius, a motherf*cking Roman emperor who served valiantly, is blue pilled because he denounces promiscuous sex. Right.

The Truth is The Red Pill

This, in my opinion, is what the concept of TRP is: That the truth will bring you to happiness. If you’re happy in life by just getting your pp sucked, I honestly envy you. More power to you. However, I’m trying to reach out to the guys that maybe feel the same way I do. I know they’re here because I’ve seen them, but I just wanna raise a voice to that.

What I wish is that there was a group of men that had this same pursuit in mind. I honestly don’t know of any sub like that (r / self-improvement) has the right idea, but it still works under a blue pill paradigm). A pursuit to emulate what our ancenstors did in order to reach a higher state of mind. We might be too small of a group to build a new society but there’s nothing stopping us from living through those ideals. The core idea is this: a group of men that follow the principles of TRP to bring value into the world while rejecting nihilism, marxism, hedonism and any other ideology that doesn’t bring any value into the world.

Hope I struck a chord with some of you guys. Peace and take care, f*ckos.
