Why did you leave the red pill?

[u/ComplexIndividualUK]

I’d never labelled myself a red piller but I was addicted to being exposed to the red pill content just for cheap dopamine. Some red pillars had good takes but I don’t see that as necessarily a red pilled ideology but more common sense.

What made lead to detached myself from the red pill movement is promoting burnout culture. They push the narrative that being poor is always a personal failure, ignoring systemic issues like wage stagnation, rising living costs, and economic inequality. Their whole persona is built around punching down, making them feel superior while farming attention from both supporters and haters. And when they get backlash, they play the victim, acting like they're hated just for being rich, rather than for being obnoxious and demeaning. Andrew Tate is prime example; he often post videos moaning about people for judging him when he judges everyone else and call them “brokies”.

It’s also common for red pillers go obsessively attack peoples for playing video games, even if it’s 1 hour a day. So yeah, what made you leave the red pill?

It simply did not mesh with my in person experience, and online behavior definitionally should take a backseat to what is personally observed. There's nothing people put at stake in online behavior the way they have to do it in person, so it's just worth less.

And since red pill is terminally online, it lost by default.

Yeah the aspects they ascribe as being innate to ALL women are things I only encountered in the absolute most damaged, traumatized and hurt women I've ever met. It's kind of telling that one of the old-guard of redpill is Rollo Tomassi. He often mentions his experience dating a woman with BPD. I recently went through a similar experience, so I can tragically sympathize with the guy. But I'm healthy enough to realize her behavior was a result of severe dysfunction and not just because she was a woman.
