But unlike lots of memes, this one didn’t start as a neutral joke about a famous movie.
The red pill will wake you up to all the horrors of reality, and the blue pill will let you stay clueless and happy in a simulated dreamworld. In the 1999 movie The Matrix, the protagonist is presented with a choice: Take a red pill or a blue pill. Like lots of memes, this one comes from pop culture. Have you inadvertently become entranced by Marxist perspectives on mass media and popular culture? You’re Horkheimer and Adorno–pilled.Īll over the internet, people are claiming to be “pilled” by anything you can imagine. Have you been convinced by a local restaurateur that an imported Italian oil is actually worth the expense? You’re truffle-pilled. Have you fallen for a famous great ape, the most lovable star of something called the “MonsterVerse”? You’re Kong-pilled.
