How and Why I Swallowed the Red Pill


By now everybody ought to be familiar with the scene from The Matrix in which Morpheus offers Neo the red pill.  References to the Red Pill have, by now, become ubiquitous in mainstream culture.  The Red Pill has come to be a connotation for the truth, however depending on your own personal relationship with truth the Red Pill could also represent everything that is evil and vile in the world.  What many people don't realize is that the original use of the term "red pill," was in the online community of pickup artists in the early 2000's.  From there, the use of the term expanded into politics and culture.  But it's original use was in the "game," community.

At a time in my life when I was (quite unsuccessfully) beginning to  make a serious effort to find a wife, I was told by a trusted friend to read a blogger who went by the name Roissy.  I went and visited Roissy's website, read his most popular post, and for the most part forgot what I had read and went on with my life.  A year later I found myself again talking to my trusted friend and I told him how I had only experienced catastrophe and failure in my efforts at finding a wife.  Once again, my friend suggested that I read Roissy.  "He really understands women," I was told.  And so, once again, I logged onto the internet and looked up this mysterious blogger.  But this time was different.  After searching for the blog I found that it was no longer there.  The search engine instead produced results of other websites where it was being discussed how this notorious blogger's website had been censored.  Deleted.  Gone.  And this was how my curiosity was peaked.  It is like God telling Adam not to eat of the fruit of a certain tree.  It is in human nature to find the forbidden fruit desirable.  And so I went sleuthing around the internet until I found an archive of all the posts on game that had ever been written by Roissy, also known as Chateau Heartiste.  Whereas before I had only read and partially digested one post by this writer, this time I read every post he had ever written on game (which took quite a while).  And I didn't stop there.  I went on to read other prominent and well known writers of the pickup community, which had by this time morphed into the Red Pill community.  The Red Pill community offered insights, support and guidance on relationships with women.  Whatever was the intent behind the censorship of this particular blog - I assume to prevent people from gaining forbidden knowledge - they failed miserably in my case.  In fact, it had the opposite effect.  By censoring the site my desire for it's contents was amplified.  Vengeance!

When you first get into red-pill-type content it feels a bit awkward, like learning to ride a bike.  You might question with yourself, "should I be reading this?"  Eventually you should get over it.  You will develop a taste for discovering truths about the world that normal people ("normies") find reprehensible.  The result of my search was that I became at least somewhat proficient in the dating game.  I'm not married at present, but that is by choice instead of necessity.

Prepare to Die

A few years ago I was contacted by my priest who asked me if I could give a ride to church to a new member of our community.   He was a college age kid (Zoomer) who attends the local university.   He gave me the boy’s phone number and I arranged to pick him up outside of his dormitory.   He came to church with me, and stayed after the service for coffee hour.   The boy’s name was Adam.   Sitting around the table during coffee hour our conversation turned towards politics and somehow the name of Nick Fuentes came up.   Suddenly, out of nowhere, Adam turned to me and asked me point blank “would you die for Nick?”   I was taken aback, and didn’t exactly know how to respond.   It was clear to me by the way Adam had asked this question that he had already settled the question in his own mind, and if I had asked him the same question he would have answered in the affirmative.   This isn’t the first question that a normal person would have asked in polite company.   Under normal circumstance

Don't Sleep on Young P.

I work as a groundskeeper at a hospital.   I’ve been working there for 18 years.   It’s a four man crew.   I’m the only person in the department who graduated from high school, and sometimes I feel out of place.   When I was in high school I went to class and passed without having to study.   The guys in my department skipped class to smoke cigarettes and joints, probably.   They didn’t study either, probably.   The previous lead of our department also didn’t graduate high school.   He could barely even read or write.   When he would try to write “grounds” (as in “grounds department”) he would spell it “gronds.”   I could just picture him staring into space and trying to pronounce the word phonetically, mouthing the “o” sound, when he figured that one out.   Nobody ever said anything to him because it probably wouldn’t have done any good because he was so hard headed that he was impervious to being told anything.   Also, we thought it was funny.   You can read “gronds” every day and it

Since You Asked…

Lately I’ve been on a kick promoting monasticism on social media.   I got a lot of pushback because of it, and that’s okay.   I think the crux of the matter was that people who were already married or are planning on getting married took it personal when I laid out the argument that monasticism is a higher path than marriage.   Where did I get such a ridiculous idea, anyway?   Allow me to explain. First, I’ll cite a few sources.   I have two books called The Law of God .   One is by the priest Daniel Sysoev who was killed in a church in Moscow by a Muslim man who was angry that he had been converting Muslims to Orthodoxy, and who is generally known for his missionary work in bringing people from other faiths into the true faith.   In the section of his book dedicated to the sacraments of the Church he has a subsection on monasticism.   In this section he cites the apostle Paul who “says that one who remains a virgin is more blessed than one who enters into marriage…This does not mean t
