I agree the red pill rage is a stage of grief. You can't tell men not to grieve the loss of the blue pill world view that the system educated hem to believe was true and into which they invested their hopes and endeavours.
You just have to help them stay safe till they are through it.
I might also help both the men going through the red pill rage and outside observers if it were recognised as a stage of grief not as "well that's being red pill".
@SeasonedRP it was probably much less deep than you imagine.
After their success with Venezuela, they got cocksure that they could bully Iran to fold in a few days.
It has been a while since there was a US intervention, too, and some in the military wanted, as Trump put it, "fun".
It's absurd, but a lot of what happens in international relations, war as well, is based on emotion rather than logic and planning.
When I first woke up to gender dynamics, and was trying to tease women about their priviledge, I observed that some older women would just STFU. A couple explicitly admitted that they were obscenely priviledged to live a protected life with no responsibility under the care of their husbands, but they just accepted it as a fact of life.
@adam-l not only that, it was a double tap strike, wherein the second American Tomahawk lingered over the area, revealing swarms of civilians at the site of the first strike. Rather than reassigning to an alternative target on this information, the missile got reconfigured to use remaining fuel to generate a supplemental hyperbaric explosion. American did that shit! Look with a RP lens, how Trump and other administration officials progressed through lying and flipping blame on the victim country, denial, trickle truth, then hand waving it off. Those supporting, denying, and excusing the entire affair, assume the moral culpability for it. If the world holds Nuremberg type trials in the aftermath, responsible individuals might literally hang.
Guys, you did notice that the US deliberately struck the school with the children of the Iranian military personnel, killing dozens. Right?
While America is blowing $1 billion a day attacking Iran, is Israel cowering in a defensive stance? NO! The IDF is on the offensive, giving residents of South Lebanon 48 hours to leave their land and flee North or get killed. Reportedly 50 villages have been thusly evacuated. Israel is now using White Phosphorus munitions on civilian targets in South Lebanon.
World War III is under way, and America is fighting on the wrong side of it!!!

Many have expressed indifference to the Charlie Kirk assassination at this point, curiously often the very individuals who were ready to launch the next Kristalnacht against The Violent Left on the basis of information available 2 hours after it happened. But, the Kirk Assassination was a Red Pill moment for millions, and the topic is so popular today that it has spawned its own subgenre of music! This song was inspired by one of Erika Kirk's many bizarre interview claims, that Charlie would come home on Friday nights, throw his phone in a junk drawer, and announce "Shabbat Shalom!" It slaps, and the AI Candace Owens singing got rendered quite well. m.youtube.com/watch?v=mFRretfjzzc&pp=0gcJCY4Bo7VqN5tD
