One of the books in The Red Pill sidebar is The 48 Laws of Power. Blue Pillers disdain the fact that this book even exists, let alone the fact that Red Pillers apply it, because it works and the truth offends Blue Pillers. One of the laws in the book is:
Law 36: Disdain Things you cannot have: Ignoring them is the best Revenge
By acknowledging a petty problem you give it existence and credibility. The more attention you pay an enemy, the stronger you make him; and a small mistake is often made worse and more visible when you try to fix it. It is sometimes best to leave things alone. If there is something you want but cannot have, show contempt for it. The less interest you reveal, the more superior you seem.
The fact that the Blue Pill sub even exists betrays this law. By acknowledging the existence of The Red Pill, they are giving us credibility. That leads more curious people to want to find out more about us, which in turn grows our numbers. If Blue Pillers actually read the sidebar (including the 48 laws of power), they'd realize that the best way to keep TRP from growing is to ignore it. The blue pill subreddit would be deleted, and Blue Pillers would encourage other Blue Pillers to not even mention existence of TRP.
Rule number one on TRP is: don't talk about TRP. Red Pillers do a better job preventing TRP from growing than Blue Pillers do. Blue Pillers are the ones who do most of TRP's recruiting. So tell me, did you used to be a member of /r/thebluepill who would mock men venting in their safe space, and then you decided to spend some time actually reading the sidebar and eventually discovered that you agree with it?
