Redpilling is a dangerous form of online indoctrination that radicalized young white men to fall into the alt-right pipeline. This is achieved by many tools: YouTube videos, online forums, podcasts and more. The pipeline pushes harmful values that reinforce ideas like toxic masculinity, white supremacy and conspiracy.
