You may have heard of the “Countering Violent Extremism” program under DHS.

They’ve deployed the tactics used to fight terrorists against domestic citizens. For example, incels. When I posted on the web forum incels dot is, I didn’t know it was Department of Homeland Security operation against men who say they are romantically deprived. I didn’t know I was interacting with larping feds who encourage extremist rhetoric. Consequently I was put on a watchlist and am subject to intrusive monitoring.

I share a lot of my experience here.

My question is, is it far that the government is so targeting incels?

      Yeah, but zersetzung was used against credible political targets. Not against some random guy that can’t get laid.

        I’m not a random guy who can’t get laid. I spoke forthrightly about incel macro issues, got put on a watchlist, am subjected to intrusive monitoring and fed harassment (sleep deprivation, various other things) etc etc.

          None of those things happened because no one cares that you talked about incel macro issues

            are you saying you are privy to why they really happened (and you acknowledge that they happened?)

      In the end, you choose the route you’ll take. My recommendation is to check yourself in to get help before you spiral into a real crisis. Government or not, if you can’t sleep you’re going to need to go somewhere for help eventually.
