The lovely fellas in the Red Pill subreddit are up in (possibly imaginary) arms about a new anti-troll law that, they’re convinced, has made “the Red Pill … illegal in New Zealand.”
“This is blatant fascist censorship,” cries one outraged alpha male. “COME AT ME YOU FUCKING DUMBFUCK PUSSY CUNTS, AND FUCK YOUR WIVES, THEY’RE SHITTY COOKS,” adds another.
But as Red Pill subreddit legend GayLubeOil explains, in reality the Red Pillers have nothing to fear. Because they could totally take New Zealand. Like, by force.
You just hit the X button on the M-16 to reload it, right? Real guns have X buttons, right?

I should’ve read the comments first! Got beaten a hundred times on the 120,000 M16s.
Thanks to Mass Effect, I’m a multi-millionaire from raiding fortresses, killing mercenaries with my pistol and telekinesis, finding piles of rare metals on the ground and selling the guns I take from said dead mercenaries.

This is starting to feel like that scene in LOTR, but…
I’ll bring my über sorting skills from literally* countless hours playing all kinds of solitaire. You got a deck of cards out of order? I’ve got the shit covered!
*Yes, literally. I stopped counting years ago.
I refuse to believe that there are 120K redpillians in existence. Not gonna do it.
The reference to “half the world’s military” is puzzling. Half of the world’s military would be the USA armed forces, with Russia and China as most of the other half. Why they picked on Iraq and Afghanistan? The Soviets and the Americans have had trouble with Afghanistan (to put it mildly), and there are worse things in Iraq than the Iraqi military. The Redpill Rangers would have a hard time with the Belgian postal service, much less any trained soldiers.
What Monty Python could have done with this. Flying sheep vs RP
PS. every time someone writes ‘redpillian’, my brain reads it as ‘reptillian’.
As depressing as the “120,000” redpillers number is, it’s fairly optimistic. I regularly read some fairly unsavory corners of the internet and for every person that admits or otherwise implies (it’s not hard to tell) they’re a redpiller in an area where there’s no reason to not admit it, and perhaps an advantage in doing so, at least 10 other people admit to reading it for the lulz/to troll and happily admit they think it’s complete shite. Pretty sure gaylubeoil is a troll too btw. The 258 upvotes he got, probably not so much.
The sad thing is that many New Zealanders are kind of worried about this law for legit non-MRA reasons. The government who put it together don’t have a good record of thinking through the long-term results of their actions, and as written it does have the potential to criminalise people who really shouldn’t be criminalised.
Fuck me, I’ve just read the NZ law they;re moaning about… It’s got some real teeth, like an 800 quid fine if you get caught making a post with the intent to cause harm. John from the other day would be well screwed.
But I do like the bit in it where if you are nicked for inciting some one to commit suicide you get a max. of three years as it recognised the distress such provocation can cause.
The “safe harbour” clause may be the bit that people are moody about as they will have to be responsible (I.E. moderate the comments) of people who post comments. It’s a bit vague as to what the penalty is though. It appears that the host of such harmful comments may only get a stern telling off.
It doesn’t really appear to be the Gestapo of free speech that the red pillers seem to think it is.
My experience with Bejeweled Blitz means I could be very useful in maneuvering together an axis of powers, as long as there are three countries involved. Or making sure all the medals on the uniforms are lined up.
By weird co-incidence, I just had a real-life encounter with a slacker-prepper at the laundromat. “I thought I’d be a rock star and live off dad’s wealth. Now the war can’t come soon enough. Guys like you and me, we’ll be alright. The middle class won’t know what hit them. Yeah I think an economic collapse would be good too. We’re surrounded you know. September sounds about right.”
Anyone who looks forward to the collapse of civilization has played way too many vidya games, or read way too much Info Wars.
This Far Side comic
Emperor Hirohito first regretted accepting Hitler’s Facebook friend request when he started getting “Adolf has invited you to join World War 2” notifications.
@leftwingfox
It’s not just video games. The collapse of civilization is an idea that is romanticized across the spectrum of media.
But I’ve got my Thunderdome outfit all ready and everything.
Hmmm. Lessee…I’m absolutely killer at solitaire mahjongg. Haven’t a clue what that translates to in Real World Skillz™, but I can clear a full board in one minute fifty. I doubt any of those Red Pillocks could beat THAT!
(For that matter, I doubt that a single one of them would know how to fire a water pistol just from playing shooter games.)
Please don’t go around blaming Hirohito for a thing that was the fault of: Fumimaro Konoe, Hideki Tojo, Ryunosuke Kusaka, and Isoroku Yamamoto among others. The Emperor had very little say in Japans Imperial goals as the Emperor at that point had been reduced to more, or less the Head of State, not head of Government. Mostly Fumimaro is to blame for pushing the war in Asia as part of Japanese expansion.
“Oh these boys from the red pill, need to do this, even by fast container ship from Long Beach to Auckland it’s 18 days travel, plus an attack on New Zealand is an attack on the US cos of the ANZUS treaty, plus the Five Power Defence treaty means the UK can join in. I guess as they are all pasty basement dwellers then roughing it on a container ship is out of order, so they can hire a Disney Cruise Liner for the necessary comforts.”
Lacks the necessary amenities, like robot hula girls (classified under Games).
Who are these people????
“Who are these people????”
Leisha, my friend, you have asked the question I find myself pondering most frequently while reading this blog. I have a feeling the answer would be simultaneously hilarious and depressing.
We can’t all be Batman, you guiz.
Besides, I called it first, so shove off.I didn’t see you helping, ya milk drinker.
Now I’m picturing Spartacus:
Michael Keaton: “I am batman.
George clooney: “no, I’m batman.”
Christian bale: “no, I’m batman.”
Adam west: “no, *i’m* batman.”
… Did anybody else wear a towel cape the whole time they played Arkham, or just me? >_>
@SFHC
I have my own cape. I don’t need a towel.
No, but I may have spent an absurd amount of time trying to nail the voice.
