My first redpill moment was in college
I came out of a bad break up and made a promise to myself that I wouldn't date any women for 1 full year.
The year I made a promise my co-ed fraternity recruited this southern gall into the group and naturally all the guys were obssesed with her and did everything they could to placate her. Because I made a promise to myself to not fall into the trap of dating, I simply treated her like any other male fraternity brother. One particular incident was when we were at a carnival doing security and frat-gal became hungry and asked me to bring her a hot dog. I replied,
No, you can walk the 30 feet and get it yourself.
Another guy next to me dropped his security job and got her the hot dog. Later in the year I ended up dating her (breaking my promise) because she kept flirting with me and everytime I was a dick she just kept getting more attracted to me.
'The Red Pill" was that women want men to treat them like men and not talk down to them.
The second redpill for me had to do with the moon landing.
I was obssesed with space (like every man is) and followed the very last space shuttle mission and was shocked to find out that it took them 3 DAYS to dock with the ISS. It confused me because it also took 3 DAYS in the 1960's to REACH the moon. Clearly going to the moon is a much farther distance that reaching the ISS, so it didn't make sense to me.
I stumbled upon the best researched analysis on the moonlanding hoax ever written and it was the final puzzle piece that led me to obsess about conspiracy theories.
I heard about Voat due to the fattening controversy. As news stories propped up that reddit banned v/fatpeoplehate and when I first visited voat I didn't much care for the community HOWEVER, Atko shortly after shut down the site and made it private. Which pissed me off because I wanted to see first hand what all the controversy was all about.
Finally it opened up and I visited. v/niggers and v/fatpeoplehate were the biggest subs at the time and the soapboxes were also the most frequent but they were weird and I couldn't figure out what the fuck they were about for literally years. Then HPOP and Amalek (who died for our sins) showed up and it was fun being part of a community that shitposted for laughs and giggles.
I moved an actual metric tonne of dirt today by wheelbarrow and my back is hurting and after I came back home it was a pleasure to relax and shitpost with users and get redpilled on history. So thank you to @Atko and @PuttItOut for continuing this project, because it's a great community. It's a fun community. LITERALLY nobody is having more fun than us and for that i'm grateful

How I came to find voat:
Someone I came to be acquainted with on reddits Catholicism sub told me about voat. I'd been using reddit for a few weeks, didn't much like it. I came here, killed my account there, and never looked back aside for the occasional laugh at news regarding the folly experienced by those who chose to stay.
How I came to be redpilled:
I've honestly forgotten.

I am 54. my whole life was one big red pill. I have always been this way. it is just my natural way of thinking. I have always been honest with myself and seen reality for what it is. I don't understand how other people can constantly lie to themselves about obvious things.
I found voat a few years ago when reddit was just starting to ban everything good on their faggot site. somebody commented "go to vote, they don't censor".

A book my dad had on the shelf that he gave me while I was in HS... The Shadows of Power: The Council on Foreign Relations and the American Decline by James Perloff... then i read None Dare Call It Conspiracy by Gary Allen. That pretty much cemented it for me. Both are a decent read btw, especially the last one.

What's the one by Allen about?
What was the big piece that stuck out in your mind?
As for dads, I will credit my dad for my interest in History. He subscribed to Military History magazines and I read them every month from the age of 7. By High School I knew more about History than my teachers. Then my mum bought used copies of the Encyclopedia and I read them all from A to Z (this was before the internet so I was bored)

The communist conspiracy, and how communism is just a tool for the elites like other forms of political social and financial pressure. The John Birch Society used to give it away for free back in the day.

Back in app '07 I started noticing the "ok" hand sign in celebrities on movies, photo shoots, whatever. It piqued my curiosity, and I started looking into it. Then when alefantis and comet ping pong pizza came about I was lurking on rooshvforum. YouTube videos about him/pizzagate would show up and I'd go watch them. Then one day a comment on one of them mentioned v/pizzagate. I clicked and have been here since.
The redpill moment for me was learning that modern talmudic jews have very little, if any, DNA connection to biblical Israelites. As well as rev 2:9 and 3:9. I should have read my Bible.

you've been red pilled longer than me. I've only started waking up in 2012...I realized that I lived a very sheltered life in a homogenous location where trust was a given.

Better late than never. How have you been?

I came to VOAT after hearing about it on OneAngryGamer. Comments of mine were banned from reddit/facebook etc and it was good to find a place to call home that wasn't overseen by hypercuck faglords. As for the red pilling, I used to be a lefty in my youth, but the left turned into traitorous globalist virtue signalling bootlickers. I was also appalled at white folks accepting their demise at the hands of muzzers/femakunts/ and cuck betrayal.

Truth. I've come to the point when I see a European apologizing I start asking why? And they quickly try and change the subject because they have no reasons.

I was going on about Jews on Freenode and the Jewish admin kicked me and told me to go back to voat.
[–] Native [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Ha that's good. Technically my first red pill on Jews was back in College when my friend at the time kept talking about how big peoples noses where and literally dropped the number 1488 constantly, however, I was too stupid at the time to figure it out and have since then lost his contact info

When I learned over 90% of niggers voted for Obama in the DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. It became clear other races only care about themselves.
If Niggers weren't far more racist than whites it would have been at least 60/40 split between obama and hillary in the democratic primary. 70/30 at BEST...but 90 fucking percent? Fuck em...they only care about them and theirs.
Then for the kikes. It was learning not only had they bombed hotels, attacked american ships etc. But the ring leaders of these attacks ended up fucking prime ministers of Israel...really? It became very clear they are not our greatest ally but our greatest enemy.
[–] Native [S] ago
Speaking of Kikes they ALSO vote 90% democrat

Someone responding to one of my posts on Reddit recommended that I get an account on Voat, because Voat was more in keeping with my style of posting. I looked around Voat but was disappointed by the small number of posts and the slow posting of new material. But then the lords of Reddit decided to target me, and kicked me off as a punishment for a week, or maybe it was two. I never went back. I was just fed up with trying to evade Reddit's PC police. I guess that was a few years ago -- time goes by quickly.
