A red piller is someone who is proficient (or at least thinks that they are) in the act of redpilling. In most cases, the red piller is politically motivated and attempts to lead their target to their side of the political spectrum through a variety of mediums- most commonly memes, (edgy) jokes, and (mis)quotes.
While there are examples of red pillers all over the political spectrum, they are most prevalent on the far left and right, along with fringe groups of fascists, communists, or anarchists -recently being used nearly exclusively by the right wing.
The "red pill" term comes from The Matrix, in which a character chose between a blue pill and a red pill, where the blue pill would let them live freely and without knowledge of the inner workings of their world, and the red pill would allow them to "wake up" from their ignorance, and learn the "truth."

Get the red pilled mug.While it once used to mean learning the "harsh" truth, as far as anyone could determine what "truth" means, Red Pilled now represents a group of people who have opened their minds to conspiracy theories so far that their brains have fallen out. Red Pilled individuals belive that actual "lizard people" roam the "Flat-Earth" and are actively spreading scientific lies, while simultaneously believing the terms 'Alpha and 'Beta' actually apply to human beings, and that Soy is somehow making men less "manly"; all of this without a shred of credible evidence.

Get the red pilled mug.Having become aware of the massive amount of leftist brainwashing and political pressure that is exerted in western societies by SJWs, 3rd wave feminism, white knights, big companies and mainstream media.
I used to be a liberal but Google's and MSM's reactions to James Damore's Google-Memo have got me red pilled.

Get the red pilled mug.Used by conservatives in order to declare that they have awoken to the truth of society, and refuse to go along with the group. This is very funny to me.
You see, in the movie, if you take the blue pill, you go back to the simulation and just be happy with that, or, if you take the red pill, then you agree to wake up from the simulation and explore the truth, however unpleasant it may be.
Now, how is this humorous? You ask? Oh my friend, well you see, the matrix is widely regarded to be a trans allegory. It was written by two trans women, and the story is quite literally about taking the difficult path to explore the truth for oneself, despite opposition from those in power.
In the 90's, the estrogen pill was red, which is why it's really funny to see people who are very obviously transphobic call themselves red-pilled. It makes my day every time.

Our teacher is very based and red-pilled!
Oh, red-pilled you say? Good for them! Is there anything I can do? what pronouns should I use for them? Oh that's so cool!
It is incredibly funny. I feel like more people should do this.
