TRP concepts I find quite good taken as a whole
[...]
At its core, TRP says to put yourself together and
everything else will follow, but the everything else
is NOT suppose to be your goal.
Some of the ideas there like AWALT are toxic when
taken literally
I'm not asking that facetiously. Sometimes an online forum, official or no, is not an accurate representation of a community as a whole.
Anyway, if it is an accurate representation, I would not describe TRP concepts as "good taken as a whole." The vast majority of top-voted posts are super explicitly sexist: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/top/
Some of the ideas there like AWALT [All Women Are Like That]
Based on what I am seeing, the sexist stuff is not just like, a regrettable undercurrent in an otherwise-helpful self help forum. I mean, it's kind of infused into everything there.
I would most certainly agree with the "get your shit together" elements of TRP, at least. And while I wouldn't be bold enough to call stoicism the one true way, there's a strong stoic aspect to TRP thought and that's generally how I roll. However, that's not some kind of unique TRP concept and there's no real reason to turn to TRP for it unless you really require your stoicism to have a heavy dose of toxic sexism.
