15. My thoughts: If the Matrix is Kalyug, then to wake up from Kalyug would mean to connect with Guru Nanak’s IkOankar and live the resistance. Build the begampura on Earth. Fight gender exploitation. Challenge human-made hierarchies. Embody a Sikhi of practice. Let go of ego.

A man walks into a classroom. Asks the professor what class it is. She tells him it’s gender studies. He pulls a knife out and proceeds to stab her and students. This is where we are. Educators and students are attacked for studying society & gender.

6. If there is a gender analogy to be made by the Matrix, it would have been the other way around, rather than how the manosphere cultures have twisted it to service their misogynistic and delusional conceptions.

The Matrix: how conspiracy theorists hijacked the ‘red pill’ philosophy

The image of the red and blue pills is central to the movie’s narrative but has been co-opted by hate groups who want adherents to think only they know the ‘truth’.

1. In the film, machines have overtaken Earth and have hooked humans for recharging power while loading them into a virtual reality (the Matrix). If Neo chooses the red pill, he wakes up in the real world and gets to be part of the resistance.

2. In the "manosphere" take of Matrix, feminists have overtaken society & tricked men to be soft and taken control over them (the Matrix). If the men choose the red pill, they wake up fr 'gender ideology' and get to claim their masculinity and lead society back to patriarchy. /3
