It has developed to mean an inability to see nuance, a belief in the just-world fallacy, accompanied by virtue-signaling, being unenlightened to the unpleasant realities of the world—thereby maintaining the status quo and their argumentum ad populum proposition. It is the preference of believing in comforting or convenient tropes, especially when it concerns a person's world view, with emphasis on the pretense or opinion that goes contrary to the research suggesting physical attraction plays an utmost role in social or sexual situations. | |||
Although the bluepill and redpill are opposites, they do not necessarily equate to opposite political/social positions. The divergence pertains to ''how'' one has reached those positions.

The divergence pertains to ''how'' one has reached those positions. However, being bluepilled is typically one's original belief system, i.e., the one you were brought up with. As such, bluepilled views in, let's say a liberal pocket of Western Europe, are not the same as bluepilled views in the deep south of the United States. In laymen's terms, being bluepilled means being unable to produce original thoughts and a mindset that favors rehashing established ideas that have already been relayed to said person. | ||

Merely rejecting the narrative of the bluepill, makes one "ex-bluepilled," "nonbluepilled," or [[purplepilled]]. However, actively opposing the bluepill, means you may fall into any of the other pills (see [[pill jargon]]). Someone who exhibits bluepilled thought processes is a ''bluepiller'' or sheeperson, a term derived from ''sheeple'', a term which itself has a lot in common with the bluepill. | Merely rejecting the narrative of the bluepill, makes one "ex-bluepilled," "nonbluepilled," or [[purplepilled]].

The dominant economic systems in place in the world today are somewhat designed to ensure a narrative that leans bluepill. With the capitalist system, the media is coerced to be engrossing. When coupled with the inevitable and inherent gutsy nature of mass printing, the natural human emotion of vacillation is forced to take a backseat. The contrasting economic system of communism and its effects on mass media probably doesn't fare much better. However, most studies on these economic systems focus on their effects on the nations GDP, and on socioeconomic status. Most books on socialism, capitalism and communism will be tagged with phrases such as "standard of living" or "HDI" which means "Human Development Index". Space devoted to the economic system's effect on media is usually negligible and certainly not comprehensive. Although in terms of nominal GDP, capitalism is arguably a better system for growth than communism, if there were a way to stifle growth-obsession in a graceful manner, then that system would arguably work best to stifle the bluepill-inducing modus operandi of the modern western MSM (mainstream media). | The dominant economic systems in place in the world today are somewhat designed to ensure a narrative that leans bluepill.

There are byproducts to the tendency of being gullible enough to swallow the MSM message wholesale. These include taking on characteristics typically associated with the MSM, such as deliberate sensationalism, a peculiarity that forces the journalist to engage in broad-brushing and pigeonholing in a scrupulous revenue accumulation attempt aimed at their unsuspecting patronage. That's one of the reasons why bluepillers are much more prone to pigeonholing than the rest of the population - a direct spawn of MSM behaviour. This propensity for pigeonholing is what makes the bluepilled mentality so dangerous, and as such bluepillers may be recognizable by their susceptibility to broadbrushing, pigeonholing and voicing the argumentum ad populum fallacy. This otherizing behaviour can precipitate into various forms of mental illness, including [[mentalcel|mentalceldom]]. | There are byproducts to the tendency of being gullible enough to swallow the MSM message wholesale.
