I'm not sure where this goes but the imagery of a red hot chilli pepper doesn't seem too far away from a red pill doesn't it?

And if so do you think people who have been red pilled decades ago have tried to secretly show to each other that they existed through pop culture? What if the writers behind matrix secretly were red pilled and intentionally wrote the red pill in the scrip?

And also American beauty feels like a shout out from a red pilled writer or am I reading in too much on that.
