“Welcome to the party pal!”
Infiltrate an Institution
Kill it
Gut it
Wear its skin as a suit
And demand respect
Brilliant.

Red pill comes from the popular and influential 1999 sci-fi action film, The Matrix. There’s a scene early on in the movie in which the main character, Neo, is offered two pills: a red one and a blue one.
The red pill represents an awakening, but one that could be difficult and painful. Neo’s world will be changed uncomfortably if he takes the red pill, but he’ll be made aware of the truth of the world.
The blue pill represents comfort and security. If he takes the blue pill, he’ll continue to live in blissful ignorance.
Red pill and blue pill have become slang, respectively, for accepting truth even though it’s difficult, or rejecting it to cling to a comfortable falsehood. [dictionary.com]
Very interesting . I never heard that before.
thanks
I thought it was from Total Recall?
He’s told he is in a dream, and all he has to do is take the blue pill and everything will “go back to normal”, that this is all an illusion. His ex-wife is there, smiling sweetly. He’s juiuust about to swallow it, but he sees the bad guy getting nervous ... and then sees a lone droplet of sweat drop from the bad guys sideburn. BOOM! He drills him right between the running lights, and the movie picks up again.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes it is.
Awesome post! Truth.
Yes, the source I read says that...”The concept has a precedent in the 1990 science fiction film Total Recall.”
Not my thing.
Twitter would lose it’s power and influence if people would stop using it or giving it eyeballs.
It’s a bit slower but we can use email lists or heaven forbid regular paper and ink to share with each other. Cable systems have community forums, heck we can all meet in cow pastures if we needed to. We can make the fascists nervous by going off grid, out of hyper time and into our own modes of time. Let them tie themselves in knots trying to figure out what the conservatives are up to as we are not talking thru the pundits directly anymore. Social media like Twitter would self destruct if no one was paying attention to it...let them rage on like a tree falling in the forest that no one was there to hear or watch.
Thanks although Iam not into Sci Fi & for me todays reality is bordering it
