>it's probably much simpler than that, like breaking a spell
when I think back to when I got redpilled, I had been reading the New Testament quite carefully for a couple of months in spite of never being a 'Bible thumper' or big churchgoer prior to that.
Maybe that effort prompted the Lord to guide me to the books and films that redpilled me? This was over 15 years ago, the dark days of the GWB regime and post-9/11 hysteria.
