I'd say start by not planning around red pills. If you deliberately say "Well, I need to get a red pill in this chapter" or something there's a good chance that people will see it was deliberately put in and people will notice that and get turned off. Instead, I'd say just write a story and have some themes/characters/organizations that are just not progressive-left leaning.

Something pro-capitalism is an easy one - just have a company that is not an evil, manipulative organization out to exploit everyone and ruin a planet in the name of making a few bucks. Or, depending on the story you're aiming for, have a company that has something outwardly sinister to it - as a lot of stories tend to - but then towards the end have a reveal that they're not actually just greedy but they're trying to do something good behind the secrecy (IE, maybe a planet had a massive natural disaster and a company quarantined it. But, it turns out they're terraforming it to fix it or something rather than trying to drag every last bit of value out of it before the ecosystem totally collapses).

Another example would be something in terms of government overreach. You have some governing structure that ticks all the boxes for an SJW wet dream - there's tons of hate-speech laws, Big Brother is always watching, everyone's dependent on government handouts to survive, even throw in diversity quotas (though, again, doing that one explicitly may be too obvious and turn people off). Bonus points if there's some type of nebulous threat that Big Brother uses to justify all this. And, have some fringe society that's rebelled against all this stuff, constant propaganda that they're evil, you must always avoid them, etc. Over the course of the story, main character ends up running into these people (say, ship crash or something and they happen upon the wreck), and it turns out that they're perfectly normal or even a friendly group who just wanted to be left alone to do their thing and are succeeding at it. They're society is at least as good, if not better, than the main one.

Essentially, I think it boils down to: Pick the couple main SJW talking points you want to go after, include them as characters or elements in your story, and then show they're not that bad or even good.
