If you show someone a picture of the Baphomet and ask what this image represents, they will likely say something along the lines of “wickedness” or “the devil.” This answer is not entirely correct.

Wikipedia explains that “Baphomet represents the Union of Opposites” and “[it] contains binary elements representing the sum total of the universe (e.g. male and female, good and evil, etc.)" (1)

This is interesting. Baphomet is often associated with evil - it was a central part of Aleister Crowley’s writings - and yet it doesn’t signify murder or death or insanity or other stereotypically ‘evil' things. In fact, “the union of opposites” sounds rather philosophical - like something an Eastern spiritual master would say while describing the Dao.

The Baphomet is not the Devil. It’s the Blue Pill.

If you were to create a creature that embodied Blue Pill buzzwords like:

-Equality

-Unity

-Diversity

-Gender Fluidity

etc.

You’d create a Baphomet. That sounds kind of weird, so let me explain. The point of the Blue Pill is to extinguish polarity (or differences) between people so that everyone can be “equal.” For example,

• BP adherents believe it’s “unfair” that some people are rich and some are poor. Thus, they try to "level the playing field" with various socialist policies.

• They think masculine polarity “oppresses” women and thus attack it with stated-sanctioned Feminism.

• BP zealots maintain that noticing differences between cultures is “racist.” So, they support open ended immigration and reduced national sovereignty.

In its quest for “equality,” the Blue Pill actually ends up negating life. Life forms are most alive and vibrant when they reach either one of the poles. Masculine or feminine, good or evil - whatever we’re talking about shines most brilliantly when it can fully focus in one direction.

Polarity is a basic fact of existence - to deny it is to deny life itself. Winter has no meaning without summer - happiness means nothing without sadness, and so on. The Blue Pill wants to extinguish these essential differences and make everyone live in an unpolarized grey zone, since this is the only area where everyone can have the illusion of being equal. Equalism is really about forcing people to regress to the mean and bond over their baser human drives, instead of striving to differentiate and excel as individuals.

The Baphomet is perfectly “equal.” It is half-man, half-woman. Half-human, half-beast. Half-dark, half-light. That creepy goat thing with horns is what true equality looks like. Perhaps now you’re starting to see how much Double speak we’re exposed to on an every day basis.

Perceiving objective truth involves looking at reality as-it-is, instead of through a lens of human feelings and desires about how things “ought to be.” Ironically, Red Pillers are the TRUE lovers of “diversity,” since we know that nothing can exist without its opposite. We know that masculine men and feminine women are different, but both have important roles to play. We are actually the good guys. Don’t forget that.
