The approaches espoused by Red Pill are nearly all derived from the Seduction Community (also called Pick-Up Artists – PUA). In this, it prescribes a set of techniques, directed both outward with action, and inward to character building, that it believes will vastly enhance sexual opportunity for men. This is another nod to Red Pill as a derivative of broader right wing political movements.Īs far as Red Pill claims not to be based on principle, but action, its goal is simple and spelled out on its Reddit sidebar. Red Pill is an amoral strategy to maximize sexual opportunity for a man with a woman. ![]() The term never came into much use by science and was instead adopted by the Austrian School of Economics, from which much modern American right-wing economics is derived. Despite sounding like it was derived from Ancient Greek, and therefore lending more credence to the Red Pill claim of inheritance from ancient tradition, praxeology is a coined term from the 19th century that was supposed to refer to the science of human action. Based on outward claims by its authorities, Red Pill is admittedly not a philosophy, but rather a “praxeology”. To sort out its guiding principles, one has to read their extensive literature and view YouTube videos by gurus. Red Pill has few comprehensive and systematic doctrines. Here I will go about explaining theRed Pill, both in its explicit claims and in its implicit ones, and demonstrate that it is little more than an outlet for disaffected and frustrated men, eager to blame others for their ills and desperate to cling to principles that further their anger. Red Pill claims to reflect Stoic teachings and values but falls far short of them, using them merely to establish clout. Red Pill, and the “Manosphere” (the collection of doctrines that springs from MRA), believe themselves to be inheriting an ancient masculine tradition whose roots go back to Stoicism, and the principles therein. There, it holds a moderated discussion board where men come both to learn of its principles and teachings as well as seek advice for their own circumstances. Its major presence is on the social media and news site Reddit. In recent years, its presence has escalated rapidly on the internet in parallel with right-wing nationalism. The Red Pill is the title of a movement and part of a broader movement called Men’s Rights Activism (MRA).
