I have taken the red pill. Until recently I didn't have a name for it, but after finding this reddit and the manosphere I can say I am free. My story isn't too dissimilar from most I've read; married high school sweet heart, marriage stagnated and failed. I'm now a 30 something bachelor loving life.
The reason for this thread: I've read many blogs and have been a part of the PUA community for a few years. I can come into the red pill community easily because I already have a basic understanding of the ideas shared here. My brother, on the other hand, is me but 3 years behind. He's in a shitty relationship that he's fighting to fix because he's told that's what good guys do. When I try to discuss red pill ideas with him he shuts me down as bitter and damaged. Is there an article I can share with him that highlights the main points without using any jargon or acronyms? If this doesn't exist (I haven't seen it) perhaps someone would be kind enough to write one. I am not qualified, as been evidenced by my failed conversations with my brother.
TL;DR is there a single, stand alone resource I can show to people so they can unplug themselves

I think the main thing is that you can't really get him to swallow the red pill. He really needs to see the chinks in the matrix on his own.

I know exactly how you feel. When I discovered the Red Pill and the Manophere, all of my suspicions were confirmed and I felt strength in numbers. I honestly was reading things that I had learned through experience by watching extreme hypergamy in action. I learned the theory behind why guys White Knight so hard, and why I used to White Knight myself... Shame.
Anyway, I too, tried to awaken my brother. He suffers like no man I have known. His women are adulterous and hypergamous, spend all his money and leave him broke kind of women. He beta supplicates to keep them though, so he allows it.
Anyway, I sent him some links to read... My all time favourite single page is this one from rational male. Scroll down a bit and there are topics like "The Basics" with several articles, "Unplugging" with several articles, "Plugged in" with several articles about the pathetic blue pill people.
Just so you don't overwhelm the dude, maybe send him one article that you think is appropriate for his stage, as only you know his relationship. Personally, the article about Schedules of Mating, and hypergamy spoke the loudest to me. As a 26 year old man who watched my sweet heart mother the children of a drug dealer while I got a career off the ground, only to have her come to me to be a beta provider for a bastard daughter, happening upon this article basically gave me the birds eye view perspective on SMV that I was missing, and made my red pill acceptance complete.
I would recommend going through that first link and finding something appropriate for your brother. Or perhaps the sidebar from the main page.
Good luck!
