"Of the two options, the red pill is more often discussed (it is Neo's choice, after all). Yet as the world grows more polarized and less courteous, that blue pill is starting to look mighty swallowable. After all, life is hard, bad news is everywhere, and maybe, just maybe, ignorance is bliss."


Ironic the color of the pill that leads you back into the matrix and blissful ignorance no?

Any liberals here have a spare blue pill on hand by chance? I may be ready...

I always wondered why Neo bought into the whole pill thing. I would just walked. They would had to force a pill down my throat. Thus proving their hypocrisy since that effectively nullifies the illusion of choice. You know hypocrisy, the Republican Senate being shining example.

The irony is that Trump supporters are going around making references to red pilling not realizing it's a trans allegory. The Wachowski brothers have come out as sisters and the red pill is a reference to an actual red estrogen replacement pill and taking that and accepting the reality of who they are.

'The Matrix' is an allegory for being transgender, according to director Lilly Wachowski

The lesson I am learning is that we are WAY closer to being a banana republic than I thought.

All of these lower government positions that no one pays attention to are playing a part in a stealing of an election, and the corruption of the culture.

The Wachowski twins were punished for exposing so much. Notice they both changed their gender after their lives were threatened...

Nah this was the BS spin after the fact once they were put back into their place. They are lucky they didn't go the way of the Eyes Wide Shut director Stanley Kubrick. Hollywood used them instead to push agenda, like the terrible Sense8 netflix show.
