The red pill represents a belief in what is the case. The blue pill represents the decision to continue believing in something that isn’t the case.\u00a0 (r\/The_Donald)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The younger millennials and older Gen Z have been creating new words to add to debates and conversations. Two of their terms include the “red pill” and the “blue pill”. This is from the Matrix. Take the red pill and one could go further down the rabbit hole of reality. Take the blue pill and one goes back to believing what he thinks is true but isn’t true.<\/p>\n

Applied to debate?<\/p>\n

You guys have had your fair share of destroying sock puppets that came over here to defend a phony. These accounts could either be that of the phony, or of someone related to the phony.<\/p>\n

The phony knows what his real story is unless he believes his own lies. In most cases, family and friends believe the phony’s account as “the real deal”. The later would be considered as “blue pilled”. They believe something about someone that isn’t the case.<\/p>\n

The regular commenting community looks at the posted documentation. They use that as a basis to provide the facts about the phony’s actual service, or lack of such service. This act is seen as “dropping or spreading the red pills”. If the family believes us after this, then they’d be considered as “red pilled”<\/p>\n

In political debates, it’s usually the conservative side of the argument using these terms. Conservatives, arguing from facts and reality, “spread the red pill”. A person that abandons a progressive position, in favor of a conservative one, would be seen as “red pilled” in that topic. Those on the left advancing a narrative not supported by reality are naturally seen as “blue pilled”.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your weekend, and happy red pilling.<\/p>\n
