Episode 8 – Red-Pilled and Radicalized: How the Internet is Grooming a Generation

In this episode of Allied We Can Cross the Aisle, Eric Miller breaks down the hidden world of the manosphere, a growing ecosystem of online communities that target young men with messages of misogyny, fear, and authoritarian thinking.

Eric is joined by Raisul Islam, a thoughtful and observant 28-year-old who shares what it's like to be part of the generation caught in the middle. Together, they explore how social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, and Discord are shaping attitudes around masculinity, power, and belonging.

We discuss:

• What “red pill” ideology really means

• Why algorithms push young men toward radical content

• The political overlap with MAGA and Project 2025

• How we reclaim connection before it’s too late

Inspired by Eric’s book Allied We Can Find Common Ground, this episode challenges us to step up, not just as activists, but as parents, mentors, and citizens.
