In the sphere of social ideologies, there are four main belief systems that are expressed by the color of a pill. This idea of course, was inspired by the “The Matrix” film franchise. In this film, “Morpheus” (Laurence Fishbourne) offered “Neo” (Keanu Reeves) a choice between two pills. The blue pill, or the red pill.
The color scheme of these pills are often used to draw comparison of the different types of men within manosphere groups. Such as; MGTOW, IBMOR, SYSBM, and PUA, etc. Our world is way more complex than for men to be reduced to two pill types only. As such, there are actually four pill types that I will be covering in this article, as well as what they represent.
- The Blue Pill
The blue pill represents the belief system of those who accept established narratives. Therefore, they are considered very naive. That is because they do not question anything, nor do they challenge the mainstream narrative. They go to their jobs all week long. Get paid on a Friday.
Spend almost their entire paycheck at a bar, or nightclub. Pick up chicks. Netflix and chill. Then spend the rest of their weekend on the couch. Too stoned to even move. Return to their jobs on Monday. Repeat. Next thing you know, the bar chick from Friday night turns up pregnant. But wait, they don’t even love each other. It was supposed to be, just a hook-up.
So now, the kid is raised in an unsustainable environment that is designed to break the spirit of who he was truly meant to be. So that he would be better qualified to be a blue pill cog in a machine, who doesn’t question the status quo. A real chip off the old block. And so, the vicious cycle continues.
- The Red Pill
The red pill represents the belief system of those who are “woke,” as they like to say. They see more of what is really going on. But due to social, and sexual pressure, they would still like to fit in somehow. And will resort to tactics, such as Pick-Up Art, and the like, to become more of an alpha male, in hopes that some female will find him desirable enough to sleep with him.
Of course they are the fake version of an alpha. Because they are perfectly willing to sacrifice their true character, just to be able to grind out some passaround needle eye for two minutes. They know that this world is not quite as it seems on the surface, and that they don’t really fit in. But they are in denial, and still wish to live out the fantasy of some alpha hero who saves the world, and gets the girl in the end.
They will go around chasing some invisible enemy. And when it is apparent that the person in question is not an enemy, they will create a fictional enemy in their head. Just to facilitate their hero complex. As for who the manufactured enemy in question is? It is one of the four red pill personality types.
- The Purple Pill
The purple piller is undecided, and often flip flops between blue pill, and red pill. This is especially true in manosphere groups, where some men are in denial about female nature. As such, they believe in a rare specimen called a NAWALT (Not All Women Are Like That). They often run back to red pill safe spaces, after they get their hearts broken, yet again. And are thus caught in an endless cycle of cause and effect. When will they ever learn?
- The Black Pill
And then, there is the black pill. The one who sees everything for what it truly is. The nihilistic one who has checked out of society. The strong, silent type who can live alone in a cabin in the woods, along with his two dogs, and be perfectly happy. He is fully aware of who he is, and does not need any form of validation from society. He is shrewd and calculating, and knows how to play the game.
While everybody and their brother are busy tripping over their own shoelace to seek validation from others, and trying to become more alpha. The black piller lives by his own set of rules, and dwells in the shadows of the night. A true sigma male, if ever there was one. Once you go black, you can never go back.
Well that is because you just don’t want to go back. Chances are, the black piller realized early in life that he was the designated scapegoat of society. The one who was bred to carry the burden of everyone’s shame and guilt. So that it is easier for them to live, laugh and enjoy life without a single care in the world.
Then once he becomes a man, he realizes that it is not just his family. Everyone in society sees him as some kind of scapegoat. From friends, to relatives, to employers, right on down to even his girlfriend. He is very serious about breaking free from societal labels and expectations. Because there is just no way he signed up for any of this.
Lucky for him, he was also born a sigma male, and that will be his saving grace. So he embraces the black pill, and all of what it has to offer. The truth hurts, but it will also set you free. For the sigma male, the black pill is the ultimate path towards redemption.
