Share your most devastating Red Pills ITT

Share anything that will really shake up someone's world view. I mean something either really shocking, or potent and super-effective on the target crowd. E.g. headlines and statistics, or infographics.

Starting with something based in theory, a synopsis of society which really deals with demoralization, but also explaining a lot of aberrant phenomenon like "mental illness." More like "society illness."

And moving on to something a little bit more historical, practical, and all the more imperative. (Click the link)

Twitter is the ultimate red pill.

It reveals how so much of the world is completely narcissistic, emotionally led, tribal and thick.

Sooo many people i once respected have revealed a very shallow and ugly side to themselves.

Maybe, but maybe that's not the real them, either. It is just Twatter after all.

So many fake accounts, fake trending, etc. And I have heard from many people that they used to post things to fit in, but once they left the platform(s), they changed for the better.

I fundamentally agree with you, but I'm trying to be optimistic here and share another perspective. When people don't have enough real human relationships, then that's going to deprive them of oxytocin, and they will seek another outlet. Twatter may be their next stop.

Hypothalamus AMPK (actually a very specific neuron clump in that area of the brain) is responsible for weight loss, gain, hunger, insulin, ghrelin, nicotine induced appetite suppression and thermogenesis. IMO its why the nation is on thyroid medication and so fat. Its kind of the opposite one would expect, AMPK in muscle causes fat burning and a shift away from glucose. But this little part in the brain drives hunger and shuts down thermogenesis if AMPK activates in it. Alpha lipoic acid drive fat loss by this method like cigaretteshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15195087/

Interesting. It's a promising avenue to explore. And obesity is one of those things that really bothers me. I see so many people carrying massive amounts of weight, and they are way too young to be letting themselves go like that. I often wonder if they are fat because of emotional trauma, or if they suffer from emotional trauma because of the choices that led to their weight gain. It must be a self-propagating cycle.

I'm interested in hearing more about what AMPK is, where it comes from, and how it can be regulated through natural processes. As far as cigarettes go, I've done a fair bit of research on nicotine, and off the top of my head, there are a lot of cognitive benefits to it, as well as physical. It's a neuroprotective, switches on thermogenesis, and suppresses appetite. Some studies suggest that it impairs muscle growth and lowers testosterone. But I have read at least one study which argued the opposite. I can't find it now so I can't post it.

The Seneca effect. We're on a rapid spiral downwards reminiscent of the Roman empire. The road to recovery is long and difficult, but it is always available. I am convinced that much of our political and economic atmosphere is not only targeted, but adopted and desired, specifically to accelerate this process. Communism in particular seems to be a great destroyer, and is welcomed by many for that reason. I believe that people are being deceived with their permission, out of pure instinct, to do so. I can understand them.

We could be seeing the fall of social media very soon. Many lives may be taken with it however. It's unlikely that things are going to become more orderly, entropy being the apt word.

AMPK is a sensor in a cell that turns on when the ATP to ADP ratio is way out of whack. When you flex your bicep, muscle cells use ATP up and its then ADP, and the cell has to use energy to make it back into ATP. If it can't keep up and is depleted of ATP (so there's just ADP) AMPK switches and has the effect of turning off nonessential processes in the cell in order for it to catch up. This turns off protein synthesis (in isoform 1) among other things like increasing fat burning (which is more efficient than glycolysis or glucose oxidation) Its useful in exercise and sports as isoform 2 is hugely activated. Its basically a turbo switch. There are two "isoforms" or versions, the alpha 1 version interrupts protein synthesis (disengages mTOR).. Version 2, which is activated in muscles during exercise, does NOT stop protein synthesis. This is relevant that you can literallly burn fat and build muscle at the same time. But the alpha 1 is the only one relevant in cancer research as AMPK also activates DNA repair, cell cycling (apoptosis) and other processes that need to be cycled on for things to stay normal. Its mostly related to starvation, whereas alpha 2 is exercise / endurance related. Widespread AMPK Alpha 1 activation would be 1 reason intermittent fasting works.

Ignore all the stuff on the left, the right is generally what happens when AMPK is activated in a cell (green promotes, red means inhibit)

I think the chemical descriptions do not capture the whole picture most of the time.

For me, observing racism started to bother me the most. Most people decide almost all they can about you from where you come from, socially. I try not to think about it too much.

brutal red pill was when I learned the holocaust was a giant hoax. "Holy fkn sht...so what else that I was taught was just a complete lie?" That kind of started it for me.

Related was that FDR knew the japs were coming to pearl harbor and let it happen in order to get the public sentiment geared toward entering WWII. They'd already broken the Japanese code, knew it was happening, and in fact forced Japan to attack the US before that by brutal sanctions. It was all a set up.

we had zero business being involved in WWII. It was a blood bath of blood brothers slaughtering each other while zionists pulled the strings.

Only Satan himself could conceive of and execute such a plan.

Then go back to the Bolshevik Revolution, realize who perpetrated that, and the tens of millions of white Christians slaughtered, raped in literally Satanic ways.

It's all just very depressing when you learn true history. I've come to terms with it though and would love to do my part on the side of God, once I get my own house in order.

If Trump successfully stays in power, I think it could signal the beginning of a massive change in course for the world from descending into hell to living life in accordance with God, truth, beauty, justice, all good things.

Jesus have mercy on us.

There are limits to what can be discussed here. But yes, you would be surprised at what historical events happened simply because they let it happen. 9/11 for example.



For this I would like to specifically recommend the lower, right box under United States 1850-1913 seen here:

I find it hard to believe that their plan is to destroy Israel via WWIII, but who knows? That part doesn't make sense to me.

But this virus hoax is clearly aimed at completely hollowing out the middle class in order to implement global communism, a vast population of peasants and a tiny elite of rulers who will have their way with us.

As I said in my rep comment, God is beginning to show Himself, and I do not believe the globalists will be successful. I could be wrong, but Lord I hope I am not.

Whatever happens, as long as we remain loyal to Christ and do His will, we will be okay in the end, even if that means a brutal, gruesome death in this life.

This is truly, literally Satanic **** they're trying to do right now. And I am beyond disappointed in the malleability, the gullibility of the population. I have realized this year, clearly, how most people are sheep and crave to do what they're told. They get pleasure from it. They have no respect or thirst for the truth. Automatons. Pathetic. But these same people will switch sides in an instant if we take power. So they're not bad per se, they are just following the leader.

Any anyone who doesn't believe they are literally ****philes running worldwide satanic ****phile rings is tapped the fuk out. I'm tapped in.

I'm not getting into the whole Zionist thing, but my biggest red pill is the insignificance of us from a global or especially galactic scale. As an individual you will grow up, live almost a hundred years and die and likely when you die be just as alone as when you were born (ie maybe two people who care for you if that and a small group of supporters). And our planet is like a speck of dust just in our own universe, never mind the galaxy.

Another interesting one is that matter is neither created nor destroyed, so we are all compiled of atoms that have existed for billions of years and just happened to come together to create some form of sentience - which has never been proven to really exist except that we can see it. From a physics perspective we are all 99% empty space and just chemicals and neural impulses creating what we see and perceive.

You said you're not getting into the zionist thing, but your mentality is exactly what has been prescribed for you by zionists. It is what they want you to think, how they want you to feel.

You are important and God loves you, but you need to pray and strengthen your relationship with Him, and He will have mercy on you in this life and the next. You are never alone.
