If you get the reference I'll be pretty impressed. ;)
When someone gets redpilled for the first time, it's always "Can it be that I have the world entirely wrong?", and the answer to that is "Not wrong, there's just more to learn!"
If I met myself today, 5 years ago, I would think I was batshit insane. But if you go step by step it all makes sense. I feel (and I hope I am right) that things are coming to a head. Truths will be revealed. There's always more to learn, and I am ready and willing to dive into that rabbit hole!
What I am getting is that we are on the same page, but we have a different way of looking at it.
Wrong can mean incorrect or wrong as in "right or wrong" as in "Good or bad". You can be incorrect without being bad. The fact that we were lied to, and made to believe in an illusion, and probably did actions based on these beliefs which we would not have otherwise done, brings in a tone of "we were bad people".
Its important to confront this. We were not bad people. We did not know better and we did the best with all the good intentions, but with wrong information.
We were kept in dark not by choice, but by a machine so powerful we almost had no chance against it.
Lets take a concrete example. I am a software guy who spent most of my careers deep in the silicon valley. My identity had always been the guy using technology for the human betterment.
Now that I have come to the realisation that the entire hitech venture capital is a CIA operation, and I can look back and point to every brick I placed and every nail I hammered in building the ultimate slave pen the Cabal always wanted to build and that I was not building any tools of freedom for humanity.
Now I can either deny this - first reaction - and say "only a few people were bad. Only a few software is bad".
Or I can accept the reality, but start hating myself for being a person who did bad things or for being dumb enough to not realise it, or for the entire world view that shattered.
Or I can change my own view from a software guy to a "freedom fighter" who, against all odds, managed to free himself from the invisble shackles, and now helps others do the same.
My point is, the journey from denial to mental freedom is through a phase of pain that is necessary.
