What does the somewhat new phrase “red pills” mean?
I have an idea how to interpret it, but would like to know for sure. I don’t know any 30 year olds to ask about it.

It’s from the movie The Matrix. The red pill allowed you to see reality.

It's a reference to the movie “Matrix’’ staring Keanu Reeves set in a dystopian world where one swallows a red pill and suddenly see through the web of lies and false images that makes up this dystopian society.
It means to see the light. Going from being a servile sheep to a roaring tiger, in a way of putting it.

What does the somewhat new phrase “red pills” mean?You got a message...look at this! It's a red pill!
Not knowing, you ask. (well done)
And you had to get red pilled (informed) on red pill (revelation of reality) to become red pilled (informed).
You can't make this stuff up.

From the scifi film The Matrix. The protagonist is offered two pills. The blue one will restore him to his imaginary existence in what goes for the "real" world (largely based on the 1990's ... IIRC). The red pill will remove him from the massive machine which uses his brain as a disposable battery power source along with billions of other trapped humans. Basically, a red pill removes the scales from one's eyes.
