It wasn't even just a Red Pill idea until recent. Here is a highly upvoted post from fucking r/science barely over a decade ago:

The problem is not that some have the inclination to, but that all of them have the power to.

That sentence alone explains the problem across all these demographics. If you wanted to be a white supremacist, you would face considerably consequence and lacked the power to really do much with that position. Whereas a black supremacist will face little backlash and generally can use that to increase their standing greatly with the right timing.

That's why I have kept it on hand as long as I have.

It doesn't just encapsulate a great point, it shows just how different things were just a short time ago where you could say something controversial and people wouldn't just scream about it, even on a fucking default subreddit.

I remember that thread. That comment is one of the biggest red pills I have ever taken. One of the examples of how ruined your life can get is this Canadian comedian (I think his name is Dave Foley but I could be wrong) who had to flee to the United States because he lost his TV show gig and couldn't keep up with the insane child support payments.

There are so many fucked up points in that comment, you could make a dozen threads here of real life examples of these things, like that kid who had to pay child support to his rapist, or men having to pay child support for kids who aren't theirs, or that guy who worked 3 jobs and eventually shot himself because he was living in a studio apartment with nothing but a burner phone and a futon and the bitch was still coming after him for money.

I wish I could have what my parents had. A good economy, a good culture, a loving spouse to come home to, some kids who love them, a quiet place away from the city. Deep down past my cynicism, my heart aches and yearns for it. But I'll likely never have that now, with the way the world is going, and how women seem hellbent on being the legal equivalent of nuclear landmines.

Honestly, I think most guys who grew up poor enough can name a real life example of their own, and all of them be uniquely horrible. We are literally surrounded by the fruits of female "empowerment" and all of them are poisonous.

I've even managed to achieve the "goal" of a loving, simple wife with some kids and my own home in a quiet place. And I'm still filled with rage at both the hellswamp I had to wade to to get here, and the infinite number of brothers I've both seen directly and heard of being dragged down to hell in it.
