It depends at what level one is considered red-pilled. In 2000 I realized HIV was man made among other things. I could see through a lot of the lies we were fed, yet I believed 9/11 was real. I immigrated to the US less than a year before that and I truly believed America was the land of all oportunities, that here I was well and safe from anything evil. So I couldn’t tell you how long I’ve been awake for because somehow I kept falling back asleep.
