I wish I could remember who pointed it out to me, but the core action behind Neo "taking the red pill" is "a woman and a black man explain to a white man that he's wrong about literally everything."

I think it is MovieBob on YouTube.

Go re-watch American Beauty and you'll see that we at least thought it was.

American Beauty, The Matrix, Fight Club and a lot of other movies build off that late 90s ennui, although they go in radically different directions.

It probably means the generic "woke". Taking the red pill refers to Neo being revealed reality for what it is, for MRA guys it's seeing the tendrils of Matriarchy,
for her it's probably seeing how toxic the cultural marxists and liberal regressive are.

Yes, which has expanded from its original misogyny into a broader form of white male supremacy.

Some Jordan Peterson fan spliced the guy's talk with Tyler Durden, to show how similar the things they say are, which means that Jordan Peterson is a mofo woke badass just like Durden.
Personally, I don't think the similarities say much good about Peterson.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Was it Lindsey that talks about how Fight Club shows men who feel emasculated by corporate culture so they just recreate the same culture but seeped in masculine ideals?
I swear the antifems have Stockholm syndrome with the patriarchy. They're aware of how gender norms can work against them. But their response to being the dregs of society is to complain that they're not getting their proper turn at being the oppressor. They just recreate the things that make them miserable. Pick up artistry that makes them even more dateless. They're the wolves in captivity, but they put themselves in the cage trying to rule something anything. The alphas are the ones with the gall to hock their own bullshit to the suckers that think any of this applies outside of their idealogical playpen

Angela Nagle pointed out perfectly on Chapo that all these alt-right guys that pine for the days of actual patriarchy wouldn't actually be able to handle what they're pining for because they have the completely wrong idea on what patriarchy is. Basically that yeah, you get to be all head of household with final say but you're effectively reduced to a worker bot that is slaved completely to supporting the family structure. No emotions, who gives a poo poo about how you actually feel...you're the breadwinner, now destroy yourself to provide. None of these guys would actually be able to handle that.

Also, what the gently caress is up with Laci Green?

That was always similar to my reading of Fight Club (or what it should've been anyway). Tyler Durden is basically Hitler. There's no question that modern life had stripped away all sense of self and identity, but his solution was a hyper-masculine cult that also eroded the self and morphed it into serving the greater purpose of Project Mayhem.

I also always loved the use of the Red Pill considering it was also another form of control. That's still my theory as to why nerds hated the second Matrix movie (I'll say I at least give it a pass. Not so much for the third one) because all that "gently caress the system, fight the power" stuff from the first one was also another load of poo poo just as a steam valve on their society. The only reason Neo "won" in the end was because he sacrificed himself (initially for love, anyway) realizing he was never meant to actually live in the peaceful world.

This, too. Much like everyone that fantasizes about Star Wars thinks they'll be the hotshot ace pilot or kick-rear end Jedi master instead of some random mook who gets blown away 5 minutes by the next Darth Vader.

Interesting how it started with yeah, yeah, everyone suffers, but then leads into "You can be some kind of hero, make the suffering in the world less. That's the way forward as far as I can tell, if there is any way forward."

But, y'know, if you dare try to do that in a way that inconveniences me in the slightest then I will lay furious shitposts on you and accuse you of whining victimhood rather than organizing to make the suffering in the world less.

Yeah they don't realize that a lot of the advances made since those times helped whitebread dudes out too.

It's pretty much a shame that we have a more open society in a time of economic downturn, nigh on collapse. That IMO is what has spawned the alt-right, PUAs, MRAs and so on. They're blaming openness instead of the true culprits. I wonder if it's because they feel those culprits are invulnerable, or if it is totally because they've been tricked. It would be interesting to see what it would be like if things were socially like now, but the economy and job market were like it was in the 50s. Of course, with automation, that might never happen again.

TyroneGoldstein posted:

She started dating an idiot who convinced her to hear his rotten mind grapes out

Also she's using clickbait to get those idiot's fans to look at her vids. For example, her latest video, "HOW MANY FREAKIN GENDERS" has a cover image (or whatever you call those in youtube. Thumbnails?) that says "ONLY. TWO." and next to her making a goofy face are the male and female symbol. But according to the description, the video isn't "lol only two genders! owned!" it's an examination and discussion of what she perceives are the various stances on that issue. I ain't gonna watch that poo poo, because her style has always annoyed me anyway, but it seems to be a touch nuanced from that description. Don't know how fair her coverage is though.

They identify with power and cleave to the incredibly resilient constructs of white supremacy and individualism that have survived every previous attempt at an open society. There were absolutely people like this in the 90s--maybe even more of them--but they were isolated and felt alone. The internet and the convulsions the republican party has gone through to make it a white-identitarian party has given them courage. Think back to when you were in high school and what the boys (and maybe some girls) said about feminism, or what the white students said about civil rights.
