WHAT IS A REDPILL?
The term Redpill refers to a scene in the 1999 movie The Matrix. In the movie, the protagonist is living in the false world of the Matrix and he is offered an opportunity to find out the truth about the real world and the Matrix. This offer is in the form of two pills, a red one and a blue one. If he takes the red pill, he will find out the truth and if he takes the blue pill, he will remain in the fantasy world of the Matrix.
So the term Redpill refers to people being given new information about our world that changes their entire view of it. It is a paradigm shift where your view on everything suddenly transforms and your entire outlook on life and the world changes.
REDPILLS ARE FUNDAMENTALLY ABOUT THE TRUTH
In the movie The Matrix, the protagonist takes the red pill, and he finds out the world that he was living in was not real, but instead a fake reality that humans were trapped inside. The plot revolves around the protagonist reaching the real world and learning about reality verses the Matrix, the reality of the situation was that the real world was WORSE than the Matrix. The conditions of Earth were horrible. The air was polluted and vegetation was dead all over the planet. People had to live underground and survived on gross liquid paste for sustenance. Human society was in a fight against machines for their very survival. The Matrix was far more comfortable and enjoyable compared to the real world. Yet through all of this, the protagonist prefers reality and the truth rather than the comfortable lie of the Matrix.
This dovetails nicely with this Substack account and the Catholic religion. Jesus Christ is truth itself. He is the way, the truth and the life. So He is the ultimate and true Redpill. All truth revolves around Him and comes from Him. So anything that claims to be a Redpill, but is not rooted in Christ, will ultimately have some error in it. This is the danger of so many social media accounts and podcasts that claim to be Redpilled. They have some portions of the truth, but also have some error mixed in. That's an incredibly dangerous situation because error is much harder to spot when included among large amounts of truth.
OUR CURRENT MESSED-UP CULTURE
For several decades now our culture has been rapidly accelerating further and further into the pit of depravity. Sexual immorality and a rejection of morality itself has been indoctrinating people, especially young people, to turn away from Christ and turn away from all forms of civilized behavior.
On top of this, young men have been lectured to and indoctrinated to believe that they are inherently evil. They have been told they are the source of all problems in the world. At the same time, young women have been told to reject all modesty and ignore biological reality. It’s deteriorated so far that now our society can’t define what a woman is, but also says that women should rule the world. This cognitive dissonance is stunning to behold.
In this rotting and depraved culture, people know there is something just not quite right, but they can’t exactly pinpoint it. It’s tough to think outside of the worldview that has been given to you. That’s why redpills can be so important, because they shatter the worldview you have and expose you to an entirely different world.
BEWARE OF THE FAKE REDPILLS
There a lot of social media accounts and personalities that claim to be redpilled or have redpill content. Be very wary of these because much of what they say can be true, yet contain dangerous errors.
Andrew Tate, Pearly Things, Strong Successful Male, Jordan Peterson, Alexander Grace and many many others are some examples. They all have SOME truth in them, with varying levels of truth. A well-formed, knowledgeable and strong Catholic can listen to their content and pull out the good pieces and discard the bad. But for those who are weak or ignorant in the faith (which is the VAST majority of Catholics), they will be corrupted by their messages.
HOW THEY ROPE YOU IN
These fake redpill accounts tap into truths that have been rejected by our modern culture. Young people especially find this fascinating because they have never heard of, or comprehended such things. They have only been fed the emasculated slop of our depraved culture. So anything with actual truth in it seems like clear running mountain streams compared to sewage water.
For decades young people have been told that boys, especially white ones, are the source of all evil. This is why so many young men are turning to redpilled content today. So what happens when they turn to this content? Well these fake redpill accounts, as noted above, have SOME truth in their messaging. When these young men finally hear this truth, it resonates with them.
A DROP OF POISON RUINS THE DRINK
The first thing these fake redpill accounts tell these young men to do is to get their act together. They tell them to go to work, and work hard. They tell them to go to the gym. They tell them to start focusing on their goals rather than focusing on girls. Some even tell them to stay away from porn and Tinder. All of these are actually good things. A young man who starts to do these things will almost immediately feel better about himself. The young man will improve himself in multiple areas. These results will encourage him even further and this is where the trouble lies.
These truths are not unique to these fake redpill creators and they didn’t come up with them. They are age-old tradition and wisdom. But many young men will think these truths came from these creators and will fall for their errors.
WHAT IS COMING IF WE DON’T CHANGE
Women won’t enjoy the coming wave. The west is built on the worldview of the Catholic Church. It proclaims the dignity of women and that might is not right. Pagan beliefs are exactly opposite of this. Women will soon see a very ugly future which will look a lot like the past before Christianity civilized the world. We threw off the civilization that enshrined the dignity and rights of women, and we will act surprised when the coming uncivilization doesn’t respect your dignity and rights.
All through history women were subjugated because all other religions other than Christianity view women differently. They don’t agree with the belief of human dignity and they believe that might makes right. Hate to break it to you, but men are leaps and bounds stronger than women. Women right now control the culture, and it shows. The matriarchy will soon crumble as these young men realize they don’t need to listen to you and you can’t make them. They are stronger than you and will subjugate you again.
Civilization and Christian patriarchy is how women were elevated out of this subjugation. We need Catholicism again to get men under control again. Catholicism and chivalry was about controlling the power and urges of men. The patriarchy was how men were warned to behave a certain way without needing to always fight and strife. Civilization and civilized behavior is far better for everyone compared to the debauchery and degeneracy we are committing today.
In Part II we will discuss more about what the true Redpill is, and the correct way to live your life as a young man.

I agree with all of this. But I wouldn't put Jordan Peterson in the same category as Andrew Tate. His wife is Catholic. His daughter. He is on the cusp. His collaborators are mostly orthodox Christians -- and some Orthodox. And he has done more to push people back to Catholicism than pretty well anyone I can think of ...except perhaps Bishop BaRron
