Is the red-pill right equivalent to the woke left?
The answer to that question is: It depends on which subcategory of the red-pill right you’re looking at. On one hand, you have those whose eyes have opened to the corruption of the establishment. These people “used to support establishment Republicans” but, having seen the rampant corruption, now oppose these politicians.
“All the way on the other end of the spectrum, we have the Andrew Tates,” says Liz Wheeler, who points out that these kinds of red-pill bros tend to denounce marriage and the nuclear family.
It’s this latter category of men that Liz and the Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles are interested in.

As for “guys who appear to hate women” and, more broadly, the “manosphere movement that discourages marriage and encourages promiscuous sex,” Knowles says, it’s “the flip side of the coin of feminism.”
What third-wave feminism and the manosphere movement have in common is that they both “misunderstand men and women” and “human nature” in general.
Knowles calls the “irrational, passionate kind of tyranny” that defines the red-pill bro movement “unreasonable.”
It “won’t lead to human flourishing,” he tells Liz.
Having met with many men who adhere to this ideology, Knowles says that they discourage marriage on the grounds that “family courts favor women in cases of divorce.”
However, the answer lies in “amending the laws,” not denouncing marriage, says Knowles.
But even that isn’t enough, according to him. True conservatives believe that “divorce is really evil,” and “if it is to be tolerated at all, it should be in really circumscribed cases.” Of course, we’re a far cry from that since the introduction of the no-fault divorce law that has essentially made divorce nothing more than an expensive, time-consuming breakup.
“I think that promiscuity and adultery ought to be discouraged, including in some cases, with the force of the law as was the case in America until relatively recently,” says Knowles. “I know there are going to be some people listening maybe on the red-pill right or certainly the feminists and the leftists who will look at me like I have three heads,” but “what I am stating is what everybody believed just about 50 or 60 years ago for all of American history and throughout the West, so this isn't radical stuff.”
“Embracing divorce and radical individualism and just using people for your own pleasure. ... If that's the right, then really there's no difference between the right and the left,” he says.

Whoopi Goldberg’s latest Trump tirade is, well, embarrassing
“The View’s” Whoopi Goldberg should’ve stuck to acting and left the political commentary to those with common sense.
“Play a scene from ‘Sister Act,’” Jaco Booyens tells Sara Gonzales. “That was her best moment, and then it went downhill from there.”
But Sara thinks Goldberg’s latest Trump tirade is worth watching (even if only for giggles).
On a recent episode of “The View,” which Jaco says was “written by the Democratic Party,” Goldberg went on an embarrassing tirade about all the horrible things Donald Trump — “the dictator” — would inevitably do should he win the 2024 election.
“People's faith in the country is waning; that's the thing that's pissing me off,” she began, ignorantly adding that Joe Biden is “running for democracy,” which is “really what's at stake.”
However, “if the other guy becomes president,” she continued in reference to Donald Trump, people will have to worry about being put in “some camp somewhere.”
“That's his promise to us — he's going to force people to do his bidding. That’s what he said; ‘I’m gonna be good on day one, and then I’m gonna turn into some other person.”’
Of course, her words are ludicrous, as Trump has never uttered such a ridiculous statement.
But Goldberg wasn’t finished. She also had some things to say about our immigration problem.
Illegal immigrants are “coming here for a reason because they're living in a place that's not good for their families. If you're okay with that and you understand that, then fight for us to find a better way to make immigration work ... Don't fight for keeping everybody out because then we all have to leave,” she ranted.
To clarify, Biden is pro-democracy, Trump is going to put people he doesn’t like in camps, and if we don’t support open borders, then we’re all going to be forced to leave America.
“She’s talking about rounding people up in camps,” laughs Sara. “Your guy is the guy who's weaponized the entire FBI and DOJ against half of the country. You've got the FBI ... putting families at gunpoint because a pro-life ...You're throwing people in prison for decades because they waved an American flag in the capital and walked out and left non-violently.”
