” He went on to instruct his followers to “try and build a big account. I mean, if you get in early, maybe some of you guys can blow up and red pill some people on there.”

Red pill? Did pro-authoritarian, white supremacist, and self-proclaimed incel, Nick Fuentes unironically use "red pill"? lmao What a clown.

I don't understand why these incels insist on using a Matrix analogy, red-pill just means "truth" and blue-pill means "ignorance", why do they constantly subvert a basic concept? It's literally the same with "woke", it literally just means what it says, "being attuned to what's going on". Nothing more, but these idiots literally ruin it, if anything they're blue-pilled, going by the Matrix

I'll never understand the drive to make other people's lives more miserable. We're given only so many years in this planet. Why not enjoy your life and let others enjoy theirs. These people seemingly can't do either of those.

I guess it's a good coping mechanism to not face your own problems. Also you always have something to do and you feel involved.

It's not about that... I don't know why it's so hard to understand the psychology here. They feel strongly that something is wrong and want to fight it. That's it.

Again, not supporting it at all but you should at least understand that they are not so different from us. They just grew up around hate for these things and continue to feel hate for these things.

If they would have grown up in a different environment, I don't think they would even care about any of this.

They are not "flocking to Threads", they were already in Instagram and Facebook. Meta is going to have to pay one day or another for cowering in front of religious countries by allowing homophobia and anti-atheist and anti-freethinker hate-speech in those countries. I had to deal a lot with those and reporting them did nothing, because moderators are sourced locally from those countries, and the laws in those countries are in favor of that kind of hate-speech.

I know exactly what you mean
