blue-pilled
Chose comfortable ignorance
Blue-pilled describes someone who accepts conventional beliefs or comfortable illusions rather than confronting harsh realities.
From *The Matrix*, where a blue pill lets you remain in blissful ignorance while a red pill reveals the truth.
Often used dismissively in online discourse: He's completely blue-pilled about how the system works.
The term appears across political spectrums, each side accusing the other of being blue-pilled.
