This. I've heard those words used before, but I still have no idea what either of them mean and given that they were being tossed around in some really, really dumb conversations I'm almost afraid to look them up...

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pillthe story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pillyou stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

The matrix was released in 1999.

There are adults (over 18), who were born after that.

Admittingly most would still have seen it, but you would be surprised how many old shows people in their late teens/early 20's have not seen.

Either term being used genuinely is just a massive flag that the person using it doesn't think for themselves. To be "redpilled" or "woke" doesn't mean you're free from blindly following an ideology, it just means you're now following the ideology of a smaller group and have likely lost even more free thought because of it.

I have seen The Matrix many times, but "red-pilled" seems to have taken on a political connotation which I am not familiar with. It popped up a lot in the stories about JonTron and one of the mass shooters (I think it was the one that brought "Incel" into the common vernacular, but there have been so many I honestly can't remember).

I think that maybe it is some kind of right wing reference now but I always just thought of it as a reference to being "woke."

This. I've been gradually introducing my kid to a lot of the key/best movies that I saw as a kid because there were way too many references that people just don't get these days and a whole generation of movies and books are starting to get left behind.
That said, woke-at least you can have relatively normal conversations with people then, until it veers off into race issues. Redpills are consistently more painful and there seems to be a disturbing amount of overlap with incels.

Both of those are subculture terms with no contemporary definition.

From what I can tell "woke" is an ironic term for being brainwashed by far left ideology.
"Redpilled" are those that point out the hypocricy of the "woke".

Isn't redpilled used to describe those who left the left and joined the right? ('cause red = Republican)

No, it's from The Matrix. That's how pathetic the alt-right is, they had to go and use a fucking metaphorical plot piece from a Keanue Reeves movie to exclaim their level of "intelligence." And again, SJWs are just as bad.

No, it's just an expression for becoming aware of how the world works and becoming a sociopath to take advantage of it.

The flip side is woke people who "awaken" to how there's shitbags in every single level of human interaction and how it's their duty to dictate humanity in to a hugbox.

Red also use to mean socialist and was used in slogans against the USSR. The "redpilled" are actually against socialism which the SJWs promote. But I think it's just a reference the Matrix movies. Maybe you have different examples for who the term "redpilled" applies to but I don't think the "redpilled" are on the right. They still seem to be on the left but at the same time are willing to have a discussion with the people they disagree with. They would be more center-left or moderate.

Additionally I suppose the perspective of what constitutes left and right could change from country to country. The individual may be on the left for the political climate in their country while an observer may equate that with the right for political climate of their country. In Britain for example the comparison to Democrat and Republican wouldn't work for understanding the division of their political parties.
