Dumb question. What advantage is there to having hn karma?

I learned from social media that having bigger numbers is better; it means that you are a better person.

After 500 you're allowed to downvote

You probably need to see the film then.

How would you argue they're inverse?

The idea of poking holes in official dogma is novel for the right, and so the reactionaries have adopted the "red pill" symbolism. This causes many to associate the two, especially those newly enamored with the concept after having seen through their first layer of the memetic prison.

I don't think I even want to ask what the hell 'memetic prison' means.

That's fine. Just if later in life you come to a revelation that does make the term click for you, do yourself a favor and make sure you keep going with the questioning rather than taking your newly altered model as unassailable truth and thinking you're out.

red pill is a right-wing notion, put the glasses on is a left-wing one

Same here, The Thing is an absolute masterpiece. What are the rest of your 3?

Alien and Star Wars of course.
