I've downsized my entire life. I've been living off my savings for a few years now. I no longer see a point in participating in the "real" (fake) world. I know that everything I see is a lie. Everything that I've ever known is a lie. My whole world has been nothing but one giant lie from the start, and I can see that clearly now.

A glitch in the Matrix, too, has come to mean something inexplicable and surreal happening in an otherwise normal situation. Bullet-time--the slow-motion effect used in the movie to depict bullets rippling through the air--itself became a metaphor for viewers dislodging themselves from space and time to see the world from a new dimension. Even the idea of 'unplugging' from one's devices has its literal precedent in the vivid image of Neo unhooking his connection to the Matrix from the port in the back of his neck. But no concept has carried more linguistic weight than the red and blue pills, which can either solidify your radical new awareness or send you back into ignorant narcotic bliss. Not even a visionary prophet like Morpheus could have predicted what would happen 17 years later: In 2016, the metaphor of the red pill was adopted by the alt-right supporters of future President Donald Trump to galvanize the defiant spirit of the campaign. The red pill became synonymous with Trump supporters' message to establishment politics. Rather than referring to a choice, like the one Morpheus offered to Neo, the phrase was recast as a verb: to redpill. This is not an option you're given, but something done to you. The term became synonymous with the violent attitude of the alt-right movement--we're going to make you aware of our reality, whether you like it or not. Read: The alt-right has lost control of redpill After Trump's election, the term continued to evolve in curious ways. The color red fell by the wayside and the verbal suffix -pill endured. Its first evolution was blackpill--a fatalistic alternative to redpill, used in alt-right and incel communities, connoting an attitude of defeat and hopelessness. But after blackpill severed the head and repurposed the suffix, the -pilled floodgates were opened for the internet language-meme machine. I first noticed it when someone referred to my constant proselytizing for the band Steely Dan as me trying to 'Danpill' people. Mask skeptics won over by Anthony Fauci could be called KN-95pilled. You might hate Taylor Swift until you hear the 'All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version)' and get Taylorpilled. Solve one Atlantic crossword and you'll be puzzlepilled. -pilled was ironically co-opted from the alt-right to connote a sort of forced subscription to an ideology. To be X-pilled meant to learn new information that made you an enthusiastic lover of X. The serious sense of 'waking up to the truth' that alt-righters used redpilling to mean was weathered down with irony until it revealed what may be the true meaning of the term: to become a superfan of something, political or otherwise. Hence the Wednesday clue: 'Suffix denoting indoctrination.'" ^{[digital archives]} #TheoryConsumptionSpectacle

Addendum references to the 'mind' as per references such as 'openminded' here, seem to underline the significance of #TheoryDeterminismBiologicalPhysiological. Given this, mention of #MetaphorDiseaseMindVirus seems to takes on greater significance (as such a 'virus' would limit the ability to become 'free').

Context "This sounds like a loose paraphrase of the sense of Daybreak aph. 329 (see also the first half of aph. 542, and the parallel passage in Genealogy of Morals). The necessity of illusions is also the major theme of 'Truth and Lie'. I agree with the earlier comment that, if it has any relation to a particular passage at all, it is a bad paraphrase! It's hard to explain exactly but if you even just skim the relevant passages in Morgenröthe or 'Truth and Lie' you'll see that when he's discussing the sturdiness of illusions he is often discussing the important functions they serve and when he is discussing the pursuit of truth he is often treating it as the product of illusions! So both halves of this quotation sound like something Nietzsche would say (except not in his style...) but not when combined." https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/a/56290 #1896_OnTruthAndLiesInAnExtraMoralSense #MetaphorVersusTruthIllusion

Context #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesDavidBlight "But in the same way that Abraham Lincoln has become 'everybody's grandfather,' in the words of the historian David Donald, the one American figure who could be adopted by every part of the political spectrum, Douglass is also appropriated broadly, especially by the American right. ... On the surface Douglass does appear to be self-made -- he was the escaped slave who willed his own freedom, stole the master's language and wrote masterpieces of antislavery literature. But without many people, especially women (his grandmother, two wives, a daughter and countless abolitionist women who supported his career) as well as male mentors, both white and black, he would not have survived and become Douglass. In private, he easily admitted his reliance on friends and associates, and he believed in a theory of history rooted in the Old Testament, in the Exodus story, in collective liberation by God and by events. In 'Self-Made Man,' a new book published by the Cato Institute, the lawyer Timothy Sandefur argues that Douglass's essential legacy lies in his advocacy of liberty, individualism and private property and free enterprise. The radical abolitionist who risked all to use words and politics to free an entire people from slavery was, to Mr. Sandefur, only 'a radical for individualism' and never concerned with 'the interests of the collective.' To believe that, one has to ignore most of Douglass's career, especially his life as an abolitionist, his ferocious attacks on the poison of racism and his brilliant analysis of how lynching emerged from the evils of white supremacy. Douglass believed that freedom was safe only within the state and under law. Douglass did preach self-reliance for his fellow blacks: He argued that the freed slaves should be given their rights, protected and then 'let alone.' But he never employed that 'let alone' dictum without also demanding 'fair play,' and security against terror and discrimination. Conservatives have cherry-picked his words to advance their narrow visions of libertarianism." https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/13/opinion/right-coopts-frederick-douglass.html #OrgClassifPPUSPOTUSAbrahamLincoln #IRLHistorianDavidDonald ^[Wikipedia] #TheoryIndividualismCompetitiveSelfMadeManArchetype #PowerControlChattelSlaveryAbolitionism #BeliefTheismChristianityBibleOTBookOfExodus #PoliticsCollectivism #AdvocacyUSCatoInstitute ^[Wikipedia] #AdvocacyUSGoldwaterInstituteTimothySandefur https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/our-team/timothy-sandefur/ #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #PowerControlViolencePhysicalBrutalityLynching #SlurWhiteSupremacy #CatchcryFreedomLiberty #ReasoningFallacyOfIncompleteEvidenceCherryPicking #PoliticsLibertarianism

Supplementary #IRLHistoricalFigureBarryGoldwater ^[Wikipedia] #1960_TheConscienceOfAConservative "In 1960, with publication of The Conscience of a Conservative, Barry Goldwater became the leader of a national movement. Written with speechwriter Brent Bozell, the book was a statement of Goldwater's political creed. In chapters that focused on issues such as civil rights, labor relations, and the welfare state, Goldwater called for the 'utmost vigilance and care...to keep political power within its proper bounds.' The national media largely dismissed the book, but Goldwater's vision quickly gained an audience and the book became a best-seller. Today, it is considered a landmark in the development of modern conservatism." ^[Government] #AdvocacyUSMediaResearchCenterMRCLeoBrentBozellIII ^{[Wikipedia] [Wikipedia]} https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/09/january-6-capitol-attack-son-conservative-activist-convicted #IRLPrivateCitizenLeoBrentBozellIV #2020_CapitolSiege #MagazineTheNewRepublicTNRTimothyNoah "Brent ghostwrote Barry Goldwater's book, The Conscience of a Conservative, giving wide play to his Cold War pessimism when the book became a surprise bestseller in 1960. By now, Brent had blossomed into a full-fledged reactionary. He moved to Spain and became an apologist for Franco's fascist regime. Then he moved back and lost a Maryland congressional primary race to the liberal Republican Charles Mathias. After that, he moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains and devoted most of the rest of his life to attacking Vatican II." https://newrepublic.com/article/161431/brent-bozell-trump-capitol-riot #IRLDictatorFranciscoFranco #PoliticsCommunismColdWar #ToponymAmericaNorthUSMaryland #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPCharlesMathias #BeliefTheismChristianityDenomCatholicismSecondVaticanCouncilVaticanII
