Law 38: Think as you like, but behave like others

Also a great quote from the movie where arguably The Red Pill got it's namesake:

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it." - Morpheus

Stop talking about this shit. This is fight club.

How would you feel if someone who has barely done anything in their life started telling you that you’re living your life wrong and need to change your entire mindset? Especially when you have the media, academia, and most publications telling you the exact opposite?

You can’t save them. They can only save themselves. Now stop talking about this shit.

They need to be broken down to be built back up. You don't completely change your belief on society for fun... You do it because you have to.

First, your friends and brother are mobbish to a degree that is beyond respect. Fuck belonging to a pack if the members are prone to hysteria over a conversation.

These earnest The Matrix and Fight Club references reek of a desire to belong to a secret society. The only reason that RP has reached as many men as it has is that the ideas rhyme with existing tropes in the mainstream consciousness:

BetaBux: “Golddigging/Golddigger”

Orbiter: “NiceGuy”

Alpha Widow: “Spinster”

We have a new glossary, but not a new set of ideas. Most men resent Feminine rule of the Sexual Marketplace. Most women speak RP openly whilewhile simultaneously being Feminist.

Don’t reveal your source material unless you have enough influence in your circles to gain trust with other men. If you, however, live an RP aware life, other men will naturally seek your advice.

You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink

Not your monkeys, not your circus.

Speaking is silver. Silence is gold.

​

Do not talk about The Red Pill.

When others talk about relationships and sex just smile and nod.

3 problems:

First step: How do you believe something that goes against everything you have been taught, supplied and constantly shown to you?

Second Step: Why would you unplug yourself of that belief when the person that is telling you to do it, also says that it's harder than what you used to believe?

Third step: How do you find acceptance on your now adopted belief when it is harder, more cruel and not all sunshine and rainbows like your past belief?

People don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destyed

2 reasons:

a: TRP is the hard way. TRP takes work. Believing that your "soul mate" is just going to pop up on her own is much easier than believing that there is no one, and that we have to actually try to approach and meet women, plate them, and then maybe LTR them but still know that one day things won't work out and then you move on. People don't want to work for what they want, so if there's any possibility that that want will just fall out of the sky one day, then our brains will choose to believe it, even though there's no tangible reason to believe it, we still do.

b: They're just brainwashed and manipulated, like how we all were. Some of stumbled across TRP with an open mind and fortunately linked with the teachings. Some of us were so deep in rock bottom that any sort of "help" or "change" that we could find we'd give a shot because the blue pill life is failing us.

I remember how I found this sub. I was focused on self improvement. I'd began my journey when I was on the forums on bodybuilding.com and somebody was talking about the benefits of NoFap. I laughed, but was slightly curious. I thought I'd do just a quick google search. A few hours in and I realized that maybe watching porn every. single. night. and fapping multiple times a day wasn't helping me. A few months now on NoFap and I see some guys laughing at a subreddit called The Red Pill. The Red Pill? What is that? These guys are laughing, I want to laugh too, I'm going to see what this page is. A few minutes in and I'm already reading the sidebar trying to figure out wtf I just found. The rest is history.

My point is, every guy "unplugs" at their own pace, on their own terms. Most never even unplug at all. If you were to have told me some of TRP truths when I was in high school I would've laughed at you or (like your friends), reacted violently. There was this ChadAF guy in my friends group in high school. He had a hot ass girlfriend (in a different school), and he also spun plates and literally didn't give a fuck. I remember one time we were in class and he asked the teacher if he could go to the restroom. 30 minutes passed and he comes back with a fucking pizza. This dude dead ass snuck out of school, drove his car to a pizza place, ordered a pizza, and snuck it back in to the school. All the teacher did was give him a look (like a "seriously?") and then just let it pass. Everybody was like "no fucking way!" Anyways, I was very jealous of this guy but still hung with him cause he was just that guy you wanted to be around. I was jealous that he had a hot ass girlfriend, I was mad that he would cheat on her, I was mad that he was fucking the same girl I was fucking and trying to make my girlfriend. This one time this girl (that I really wanted to bang) was walking by our spot in school and he started calling her a fucking slut in front of everyone. She looked towards us and then put her head down and kept walking. I was her orbiter so she told me what happened. Turns out he was fucking her but then she wanted to end things with him because he had a girlfriend and she didn't want people to find out and think that she was a slut. So his response was to call her a slut in front of everyone. Fucking brutal.

I'm trying my hardest not to give advice to friends irl, even when I'm not asked for it when something TRP related comes up as a topic - even though I'm 2 months into TRP.

Don't even bother preaching, because you're going to waste breath and I doubt you'd open anyone's eyes. If you see acquaintances/friends not doing good with women, don't give advice. Don't stuff your nose in other people's business and focus on improving just yourself, and maybe close friends like someone else commented below.

Never talk about red pill to outsiders. I’ve learned the hard way.

Out of 5 of my friends I’ve tried to convince only one of them understood and implemented RP in real life. It’s not even worth it

But as soon as I stated that men and women aren't equal and shouldn't be held to equal standards when it comes to sex and dating and also disproved the ”soul mate” myth, they literally became violent with me. I've never experienced anything like that in my life, they turned from Normal to violent leftist mob in a matter of seconds.

Men absolutely need to believe their soulmate-mommy could appear any second, right around the corner, ready and willing the second you "stop trying".

You destroyed their dream and everything they have worked towards thus far.

Even with some of my close friends this seems to be a waste. My one buddy in particular has everything in his life in order but is terribly blue pilled when it comes to women. He could pull some serious tail if only he’d realize girls don’t want a guy that takes things slow and wants to date them after 1 date, amongst other things.

It's not your job to red pill people. Sometimes dropping nuggets of truth helps but overall don't even worry about it.

My own brother's just as bad.

Morbidly obese, in his 30s and I don't think he's ever had a girlfriend - I wouldn't be enormously surprised if he was still a virgin. I think he's more-or-less given up on the idea of women - he has an excuse for every single aspect of his life that isn't perfect, and (surprise surprise) every single one of those excuses boil down to "it's not my fault and in any case I'm powerless to do anything about it".

His entire outlook on life - his identity, his very existence - is predicated on these ideas. If they crumble, he's basically got to admit that he's wasted the last 15 years or so. And so he defends them like a religious fanatic. The slightest hint of any opinion that might contradict this... oh dear God. Do NOT go there.

honestly dont waste time on others telling them about TRP cus one day theyll use it against you (ie jealousy)

Trying to change other people's ideology isn't easy. That'd be like a Christian asking why is it so hard to make atheists believe? Or a republican asking why is it so hard to get democrats to become republican?

Men are hard to convince when you're contradicting their lived experience, which is why so many red pilled men already have examples of the jargon, but never had words to describe it.

2 words. Ego investment.

For same way you aren't same mentality like your brother and friends

Don't even bother. I made an attempt, and it made a buddy of mine feel VERY uncomfortable when I told him he needed to stop trying to 'befriend' every women he came in contact with.

Because Conservative ≠ Redpilled, Western males have been perfectly brainwashed to discuss certain topics within a certain spectrum. Don't expect them to accept more "radical" ideas like "women are inferior to men" because their brains will immediately reject it

Because we sound like fucking conspiracy theorists half the time. You can't teach others what their minds aren't willing to accept, it will just sound like bullshit to them. The only time I've been able to redpill other men was when we were all under the effects of hallucinogens because 1) I was explaining it all really well and 2) their minds were extremely open.

TRP is very unorthodoxed, very radical thinking to the average person. It questions societal norms. Realize part of what motivates men to do what they do is just as much about attaining a mate. If you flip it upside down on them, of course they will throw a fit. The fact that they know you read these books is disturbing as well. Don't talk about TRP. If you need to, you have to do it VERY gradually.

You can lead a horse to water but not force it to drink. Why would you even want to? Spend your energy on something more constructive. Lead by example, not force.

They became violent because their life is built around certain ideas. If you just come in and break those ideas (meaning them as a person) of course they're going to become violent. You don't just unplug people against their will.

Do your own thing.
