See the video first. (And a Critical Drinker review, for those interested.)
So what's going on here with the white rabbits begging to be followed and red pills swallowed? -- Is it a subtle nod? Are we being mocked? Are we being slowly teased into the simulation hypothesis a la "Constantine"? Or is it all a big coincidence (of which there are none, sayeth you-know-who)?
Yes. 365 24/7 they mock us. It is one of their very favorite activities.
But I will say that the Matrix provided a very succinct shorthand way to communicate the idea that everything you've been told up until now has been a lie.
If the point of the Matrix was to laugh at us by rubbing our faces in what they have been doing, I think it was a mistake.
Much like the World Economic Forum made a mistake with their 'You will own nothing and you will be happy' video.
Q refers to The Matrix many times. Here's a good one:

The whole red pill thing came from the original Matrix movie which came out in 1999. The movie also makes several Alice in Wonderland/white rabbit refences.
It was my favorite movie when I was in elementary school when it first came out. I think its influence made helped make me the skeptic I am today. That being said, I'll hold my judgement on this sequel until after it comes out simply because it is the parasitic nature of satanic agenda driven Hollywood to take any good idea and corrupt it.
Eh who cares, Jesus is the way and God wins i say
