A few days ago, I talked about unfollowing a few dudes, and I touched on morality. I couldn’t quite express myself well enough, as to why it bugs me so much, but then I found this conversation on Twitter. As you can tell, I’ve wiped out the names of all the parties involved to protect their identities.
The original tweet, which I’ve added above, seems to start out innocent enough. The person wants to have a discussion about the Red Pill being “anti-Christian” or not. Now follow my line of thought here carefully…
I think this question is a loaded question. In short, it’s a trap. I don’t believe the OP of the tweet is really looking for a debate, I think the OP is looking for someone to come along and agree with them that the Red Pill is indeed “anti-Christian.” But, let’s have a look at the bio of the author of the tweet shall we?
Uh oh. The author is Christian. God, family, health. In that order. Plus a pinned tweet that is scripture from the Bible. Okay. So we aren’t really here to have a debate are we? The OP is either looking for confirmation bias, or would most likely throw out anything that doesn’t conform to his or her beliefs.
Moving right along….
Okay, the OP is stating his or her position that the Red Pill is in fact, “anti-Christian.” Nothing wrong with that except that the Red Pill isn’t an ideology. It’s a praxeology. Basically it is a set of tools to help one navigate through the minefield known as inter-gender dynamics. It doesn’t have dogma or a book of scripture that you follow. The Red Pill is neither moral or immoral. In fact, it is amoral. Much like a hammer or a firearm, the Red Pill is simply a tool. Put a hammer in the hand of a carpenter, and he can build you a home, an office, or any other type of structure that provides comfort and shelter. Put the hammer in the hands of a serial killer and we have death, mayhem, and serious bodily harm. The hammer itself is amoral, it falls back on the user and the user’s intent. Same with the Red Pill. I really wish these guys would stop trying to equate the Red Pill with ideology.
Anyway, let’s go a little further shall we?
Now we are getting to the heart of the matter. The reply here, mentions what I just talked about, that the Red Pill is a tool. So far, so good. But then we go down a slippery slope with the addition of, “[those] who use it to justify depravity are the issue.” Followed up by the OP replying with, “Now we’re getting somewhere. I was hoping my question would bring out this point.”
This is where I take issue with morality. This is the very message, the very thing that “triggers” me or sets me off.
The OP just revealed what he was looking for. He doesn’t really want a debate, he wants to discuss “depravity.” Of course depravity is going to be defined by his religious beliefs, his scripture, his book. And of course, he is going to be on the side of the righteous and the moral. He’s drawn his line in the sand and he’s on the “right” side of it. Depravity is the issue indeed. But my question is this:
Why is depravity the “issue?” If you are living by whatever moral code that your faith, your church, your god insists upon, what’s the issue? The issue is that other people aren’t living by your faith, your church, your god. That’s the fucking issue.
This is why I don’t follow TradCons on social media. They want to use something that is amoral, in this case, the Red Pill, and put it through their religious belief system. I don’t have a problem with anyone using something like the Red Pill for their own intents and purposes, but let’s not try and push, force, or persuade me to see it in the same light okay?
What you do with the Red Pill is up to you. If you want to use it within your religious belief system in order to find a mate, build and maintain a strong marriage, and have children, by all means please do so. And if you are someone that wants to live a bachelor, playboy lifestyle, never settling down, banging different women on a daily basis, by all means, that’s your right to do so as well.
But when you start speaking of “depravity is the issue,” guess what? Your mask is slipping.
What do you honestly care what I do with my life and how I do it? When did what I do in my own home, behind closed doors, become your business? Guess what? It’s none of your business. Back the fuck off.
Tend to your own family. Tend to your own flock. Stay the fuck out of mine.
Here’s a little scripture for you:
John 8:7
“So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
Yes, I’m aware that this particular scripture isn’t about depravity, I know what it means. It still stands for what I’m trying to say here.
One more as food for thought:
Matthew 7:15
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
Yeah guys, your fucking mask is slipping.

sounds like he’s lazy and wants someone else to do the (research) work for him b/c then he has someone to blame if they get it *wrong.* he doesn’t know what he believes and needs someone else to tell him.
also, “manosphere, Red Pill, MGTOW movement …” … that’s a very wide brush stroke right there.

Very wide brush stroke indeed. It’s like he was setting up his own narrative or something…🤔

unfortunately, it is very common among ‘christian’ church folk to *need* to follow someone rather than to study and search and figure out what they believe on their own. so i’m sure he was setting up his own narrative, but he was probably also trying to define his own narrative by what someone else thinks/believes.
years ago i lost my bible so went to the christian book store to buy a new one. i wanted a bible with no commentary at all and room for notes. they didn’t have one in stock. we had to search through their catalog to find one.
it is somehow easier for christians to *follow* someone else rather than define who they are straight from the bible. this would line up with what the bible says we are b/c the bible says we’re sheep who follow … but it also gives us the freedom to choose whom we follow, and this is where so many mess up – easier to follow a person than Christ.
which … if you think about it … TRP is all about disconnecting from what everyone has told you, unplugging from all the lies, and believing the truth – the real nature and roles of men and the real nature and roles of women as we were created. and for those who truly believe and follow the Bible, that is the same.
so, in essence, he’s proving TRP has biblical truth by simply asking the question! lol!
if i were asked that question, i’d reply with the question, “What do you believe the manosphere, RP, and MGTOW stand for?” and after he answers, i’d then ask what the Bible states. much, not all, is the same, although he probably doesn’t know enough about either to answer either question accurately.
