My brother has recently taken the Red Pill and he insists I should do the same because this information is absolutely vital for any man to build fulfilling relationships and protect himself from the emotional and financial risks women pose. After looking into it for 10 hours or so, most of the RP stuff seems exaggerated and dangerous to our society.
But it worries me how popular it is. Initially I assumed RP is one of those weird, extreme ideologies you can find on the internet. Nothing new. But now I realize this ideology is extremely popular among men and is quietly brewing beneath the surface of our societies.
For example, The Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi is the #1,793 all-time best-selling paperback book on Amazon and #6,282 on Kindle! That's insane. For comparison, The 4 Hour Work Week ranks #2,269 in paperback sales and #32,480 on Kindle. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck ranks #108,508 in paperback sales and #1,540 on Kindle. These are books almost everyone has heard of and The Rational Male sold just as well or better and yet nobody talks about it.
What the hell? How could I not know about this stuff? It's like people are ashamed to openly discuss that they're consuming this content. I find this very concerning. Now I have no idea how many of my male friends and males in general are consuming RP content and how much this affects their worldview and political decisions.
