On red pilled conservatives and the Matrix.

I laugh because plot twist, they are the Matrix. They are usually the ones who think they're red pilled because they are traditionalists and right winged so they "think" they're being edge lords. However, the director said the Matrix movie was relating to trans gendered rights. That trans people "wake up" to realize they're in the matrix and take the red pill while everyone is still in the Matrix. The Matrix essentially doesn't understand new information and only wants old information that is unchanged. The Matrix doesn't accept things outside of its own existence because it literally "cannot" understand and doesn't have that type of intelligence, which is essentially red pilled conservative dogma.

Isn't it ironic when the Matrix thinks it's not the Matrix? Lmfao. Almost as if they've tricked themselves into thinking they are actually independent beings capable of independent thought, cute.

I'm pretty sure that was a retcon but if we want to take what Wachowski has said as gospel then we can look to her other words "There's a letting go process because it's entering into public dialogue," "I like that," and "That we can talk about something in new ways and in new light." I see that as being open to alternative interpretation.

@Jackaloftheazuresand The co-director herself is trans. I'm not saying that right leaners can't open it to interpretation themselves, (not saying you meant it that way,) just that they try to uphold the majority views as the way it's always been and then think of themselves as not part of the Matrix is silly. The whole red pill community is mostly right winged and anti trans which is ironic considering.

"We had the character of Switch - who was a character who would be a man in the real world and then a woman in the Matrix."

Lilly doesn't know "how present my transness was in the background of my brain as we were writing" The Matrix.

@SatanBurger The red pill only creates an opportunity to see the matrix for what it is. The outside is an unrealized self, it does not exist. Things can only exist within and the matrix is limitless. One can't leave. no matter what they choose to believe.
