Having fully absorbed an aggression-first worldview — seeing confrontation as a valid default response and patience as something other people do. Someone who's aggy pilled has been through enough disappointments, disrespects, or social battles that they've come out the other side with a hair trigger and minimal tolerance for perceived slights. It can be situational radicalization (one terrible job will do it) or just a personality endpoint that someone arrived at over time.
Rag mode is the activated state you enter when something minor tips you over the edge — you're not just annoyed, you've flipped a switch. Think tunnel-vision irritability where every next thing hits twice as hard. Gamers use it to describe the mental state right before a rage-quit. In everyday slang it covers anyone visibly operating on their last nerve, snapping at anything in range. Once someone's in rag mode, rational conversation is basically offline until the cooldown kicks in.

At this point you're not just raging at specific things; you're philosophically done.
Three delayed trains and a busted self-checkout later, I am fully rag pilled for the rest of the month.
