That leads to my question, do you think taking the redpill is necessary for ultimately getting to Christpilled?
Yes and no. I think the path to God and to Christ is very personal. It could be event-driven, such as succumbing to addiction (hitting rock bottom), enduring hardship like a war or an accident etc. It could be through a personal reflection. It could be age-related. It could be admiring nature and seeing His presence manifested.
Plenty of people including otherwise atheistic people have "found" God and Christ in their own way. And that's how its always been even in the time of Christ and before.
Today is the same but then again it's different. And its different because of the unique circumstances driven by radical "progressive" politics and ideology. The Redpill is a social phenomenon that exists as a consequence of this ideology. Perhaps it can be described as "reactive" but I avoid the moniker of "reactionary" because I feel inasmuch as it is a "reaction" this is not the same. Namely, because the radical "progressive" ideology creates the Red Pill or the Red Pilling process. Indeed, if we didn't have "progressivism" we would not have the red pill.
A key characteristic of the "progressive" ideology engendering the Red Pill is due to the fact that progressivism is 1) not congruent with reality and 2) impacts all people adversely. And 3) will eventually impact just about everyone in an adverse way.
A person becomes Redpilled because the current "progressive" system impacts them personally and at a profound level. This is also a highly personal experience and it differs from one person to another. But, what is the same for all people is that the impact is negative.
Examples of Redpilled events include; being passed over for promotion for someone more "diverse", getting in trouble because of DEI policies, being forced to use preferred pronouns, seeing a picture of a post-opt "trans" operation, seeing "gender" ideology being indoctrinated to kids and causing them to ruin their lives, realizing they want to legitimize pedophilia, watching an election being rigged, getting assaulted by "diversity".
I call these moments "vectors" because they get people to go in a different direction (or vector) from before. It sets off a chain reaction that leads an individual down the red pill path or process. For there are increments of the red pill. For instance, Joe Rogan is a Red Piller, but, he retains what he thinks are broadly "liberal" concepts, which are in actuality "progressive" or communistic and, therefore, untenable. As such, Rogan is more of a first-level Red Piller, which is fine because he sets fires in millions of people. Of course, it would be nicer if he allowed himself to go deeper, but, his is a personal experience just like everyone else. Alternatively, E. Michael Jones is someone very advanced in his Red Pill journey.
The Red Pill when fully expressed always results in the God-pill or Christ-pill, because, the entirety of the radical "progressive" agenda is an inversion of the Christian moral system or, for that matter, a theistic moral system based on objective right and wrong.
The personal rumination process that starts with, for example, being passed over due to your race or sex, creates cognitive dissonance within the subject because hitherto they've believed and were told, incessantly, that "progressives" seek to eradicate things like racism. But in this instance, the subject was directly impacted by racism and a racist policy that is widespread within their organization and other organizations. Thus, they realize this is systematic. But, isn't the claim from the "progressives" that the archetypical "racism" was once "systematic" in America?
Cognitive dissonance is a state of conflicting ideological concepts. It can persist indefinitely depending on the person and situation; for this reason, it differs from the Red Pill. For it is only a condition of the Red Pilling experience. The subject above will experience this dissonance as their perceptions are challenged, but, that is just a mechanism. The Red Pill is a permanent state of being. It is a complete and utter rejection of the progressive ideology whole cloth and with total and complete conviction.
Once this vantage point is established, the individual can see the progressive ideology from the outside or third-party perspective. This enables them to see it wholly among other things, such as, how it has movement and a direction and a destination. And then you contemplate the direction and destination, which includes odious things like justifying and fighting for pornography in elementary schools. For others, it could be black supremacy or the subjugation of white people.
It is at this point the subject realizes what they have on their hands and they run feverishly away and never look back. In such a state, what was once considered unthinkable to many becomes appealing. And, again, the more you go down the red pill path you'll eventually realize that it is entirely the opposite of Christian morality. This can be arrived at through personal observation, but also through the writings of the "progressives" themselves, which only further bolsters the resolve of the newly red-pilled individual.
One also begins to develop not only a hatred but repulsion against progressivism and they seek to run or escape from it. It is a 180-degree turn. And because 180 degrees is the opposite and progressivism is at its roots satanic and/or based on the belief that mankind is gods and individuals are gods it leads right back to God.
