  • In this context “taking the red pill” would mean to accept all that alt right discourse; and “taking the blue pill” would be to keep yourself ignorant to it.

    How do you know that? There wasn’t any context given.

    The alt right aren’t the only ones who use that terminology. You can get redpilled on all sorts of stuff. All it means is that you’ve woken up to the reality outside the mainstream, whatever you think that is. Walking outside of Plato’s cave and all that jazz. In the last few years I’ve been getting redpilled on socialism, for example.

    In my opinion, the alt right didn’t just take the blue pill: they chugged the whole damn bottle.
