"Something changed inside of me. I woke up!
I no longer saw the world as I used to. I quit my job. I sold my stuff. 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.
So why bother?"

#MagazineUSTheAtlanticCalebMadison "The Matrix became shorthand for the uncanny feeling that our media-saturated, hyper-commercialized, machine-mediated culture had alienated us from some primal human reality. 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]

Supplementary "Genderphobia must be understood in relation to homophobia and transphobia because they are easy to conflate but quite distinct. The distinctions between homo- phobia, transphobia and genderphobia are less about semantics than recognising the specific tensions defining subcultural experiences. Flattening out differences among gays, lesbians and transpeople obscures palpable tensions between these groups. Conflation also ignores the way gender discrimination affects the gender behaviour of heterosexually oriented people. The tyranny of gender is that no one is safe from rigid, hegemonic notions of appearance and behaviour." Stephens, Vincent. (2005). 'Pop Goes the Rapper: A Close Reading of Eminem's Genderphobia.'

There’s something especially clueless and ironic when MAGA/GOP women say things like “everything woke turns to shit.”
Granting women the right to vote would have been considered _extremely_ “woke” around the time of the 19th Amendment in 1920. [URL redacted]
