Why don't most people become redpilled until they are over 40?

Why does it take so long for people to become redpilled about the reality we are living in? How can we change this?

Because they are basically dumb children, women only became somwhat of an adult once they have children

define "redpilled"

Hollywood, media.radio, newspaper and biggest internet companies are owned by Jews who keep them stoopid

By that time their life is proper fucked, and at that point they realise they’ve been lied to their whole life.

Chasing the pussy, busy beating some drug habbit

Because that's when their children experience the consequences of their past decisions.

At younger age you are self-absorbed.

This means that you value your own shitty opinions just because they are yours and like cognitive ability and awareness to actually think and re-value them.

You become older and you have to drop the silly memes like becoming a rock star or a football player. Ego dies.

You become sad.

Then you wake up.

Young, hot shit meme is the deepest of blue pills.

It isn't until when you want to take control of your life, be responsible for your personal finance, education and destiny, that you will be confronted with reality.

Cucks never find that need, hence, they remain cucks 4life

.

Experiencing life vs being told about life. That's the real red-pill.

Well said you elocuent user.

yeap

Some of it may be that the world goes through cycles, and by the time you reach a certain age you have seen it enough times before to know how the story ends.

Example.... as an old fart, I can draw direct parallels between antifa and the hippie movement of the 60's; just as I can draw a connections between Hobbs and John Kerry.

I went back and read some random posts I mad on the Internet 12ish years ago, I was a little libshit faggot too.


Then I found Sup Forums.

Life fucking experience some of us are just fast learners.
I knew shit was fucked up and how in my teens.
Couldn't stand the vapid pop culture brainless consumers, looking back I'm halfheartedly amazed I didn't precede Columbine by 10 years.
I suppose it was sheer arrogance on my part, that I could effectively incite a degree of change with funny pictures on some fucked up degenerate sailor moon I.B. "who knew".

Yea I was a liberal as well... I didn't really knew why but if you'd ask me back then I would be pretty sure and steadfast in my beliefs...

Life's a meme

What were the hippies really all about?

Becuase your brain gets plugged into the media from birth, and that's where you got your perception of the world from.

So unless family or life circumstances teaches you different you'll believe the fairy tale until you put on your sword and go experience the shitty adventure yourself.

Nothing. "good things"

Google laurel canyon and the birth of the hippie movement

>"good things"

I suppose you could say social justice before it had a name.

Mostly a drug-based political philosophy

They wanted the freedom to get high and "just be"

They also didn't want to be drafted, so they were opposed to the war.

But their goals were just as unrealistic as the goals of antifa are now. They really believed that if they marched down the street, occupied a school, or chanted in a circle, they could REALLY cause the downfall of the military industrial complex and everyone would live in peace.

Was 16 old enough

I can shed a little bit of light on this. My mother is an art therapist. For years she worked almost exclusively with children with trauma. That was until corporations started reaching out to her to set up programs for their employees. According to the data, 95% of children five and under are considered "creative." The number precipitously drops as you age. in the 30-35 year old range 5% of people are creative. Basically this means that adulthood plugs you into your blue pilled machine and devalues critical thinking. This hurts corporations because there's no top down innovation due to their being no bottom up innovation. In other words, people are drones for so long that they stop innovation and exploring. That's where people like my mom come in. She has set up programs in the corporations that teach employees, through art, to tap into their creative brains. It's quite amazing actually.

Well that would certainly explain modern art.

I'm interested in your Hobbs/ Kerry parallelism.

Care to elaborate?

>40
if you're not "redpilled" by 30 you're lost, a brainlet forever

John Kerry came home from Vietnam and became an anti-war protester. Because he was articulate, he became one of the front-men for the anti-war movement. But he came out of nowhere, and suddenly he was everywhere

His big moment was when he testified in front of congress (see video below). That propelled him into a a decades-long career in politics.

Pro-tip... watch and wait for the day that Hobbs is invited to testify in front of congress.

I skimmed through Wes Penre's mammoth article for about 20 minutes and am finished with everything that comes out of Hollywood once and for all.

They aren't redpilled, they're regretful

baesd

I'm saving this. Interesting.

Because they figured the formula how to keep youth blinded with use of pop culture, censorship on social media and left academia.

when you have to take care and think about the future of your child you become quickly right-winged. That only is the case though, if you don't hang on the government teat or/and live in a neighborhood, where the left-wing policies made the schools and kindergardens hell-holes. if the women live in white neighborhoods and are provided for, their dillusion continues

>I can draw direct parallels between antifa and the hippie movement of the 60's

what are you talking about? antifa has been around much longer than the hippies, at least here in germany. they were around in the nazi-times! i can remember them in the 80s, when i was in school. they usually drew from the same crowd as punks at that time.

I'm talking about the American version of antifa, which is nothing more than an attempt to reboot the failed occupy movement.

But the parallels, at least to American antifa is there. You have a bunch of young people with totally unrealistic goals who think that 20 unwashed protesters marching in the street is going to overturn hundreds of years of government and thousands of years of financial history.

I'm surprised so many people ITT are accepting OP's premise, especially here of all places.

I've always viewed the situation as the following: there is a sharp divide between the younger/millennial types. A big chunk of them are completely blue-pilled and just spout whatever they read of buzzfeed or hear from John Oliver. A significant amount of this age-bracket, however, is extremely redpilled and they are why, for example, you have this newfound phenomenon of the "alt-right."

Then you just have the boomers, who are by and large, ideologically similar to one another. The "conservatives" and "liberals" of this age bracket really aren't that different from one another, except for maybe some issues like taxes or social issues (guns, abortion, etc.). The liberal boomers are less blue-pilled than liberal millennials, but the conservative boomers are less red-pilled than the conservative milennials.

I am skeptical of OP's statement because it seems like the "conservative" boomers are extremely hard to shake from their cucky, neo-con, civic nationalism. If anything, it seems like all those years they've lived have just cemented their inability to truly become redpilled.

Nowadays, access to information and the possibility to belong to a truly hermetic ecochamber is made possible by just the tip of a thumb. I think you can no longer define so easily a generation based on just age ranges because it's very fragmented.

But generalities still work; young people tend to be more liberal and old people more conservative.

Most people here aren't over 40. Probably almost nobody is.

This one is wise. Everything is cycles and by 20 you haven't seen enough of them go a round or two.

Most people here are also pretty ignorant despite thinking they are 100% redpilled.

They never had to experience diversity in large quantities and never will. That's the primary red pilling experience. They had a couple model minorities who had no option but to assimilate and that's it. Dealing with them en masse every day is a totally different experience.

people live like overgrown children and don't stop to think about anything bigger than themselves for the first half of their life. It's out of control hedonism and radical indiviualism.

kids need jobs, the worries about child labor are mostly unfounded--kick out the mexicants first though

Not enough experience to develop a nuanced view of the world. Not enough time for introspection. The world has to knock you around a bit first
