You have the robots (Corporations & Oligarchs) who are the slave masters making sure the Matrix goes as planned (Media & MSM). Then you got the agents with the sunglasses (feds & abusive law enforcement), who are there to enforce that everything goes as planned, and to elimate anything that threatens the system. Then we get to the matrix (Mass surveillance state, morally corrupt bureaucracy), and you got the ones who choose to ignore it (blue pilled), choose to be willfully ignorant (Cypher), or you got the red pilled ones (Neo and co.)

If you take the blue pill, the story ends.  If you take the Fred pill, your body gets the vitamins and nutrients it needs.

This is the most nonsensical thing I've read this year, please do us all a favor, and leave the forum for a year, so we don't have to read this nonsense.

Someone took a few too many "red pills", and I don't mean tracking devices...

No, it's a metaphor for being trans. Leave our stuff alone.

I don't see any connection between the Matrix and our current society.

This is exactly how life is.  I remember when I took the red pill.  It was a little over a year ago.

You finally make a post that isn't anti-democratic or bad-faith, and it's still nonsensical.

That's not true at all. The Wachowski brothers (sisters) said that conveniently decades after the movie was released to fit their agenda.

Yes, that's why the Wachowskis said that. Not because saying it out loud gives it power that they weren't ready to give it in 1999, but are now that they're both out trans women.
