Why is the government targeting incels? (lemmy.world)

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?

but they did and it happened. also incels.is = dhs. incels are subject to political repression.

Please at least consider getting mental health just in case you're wrong

Bro they broke into my apartment and replaced my prozac with super-depression inducing crap. I took a few of the pills and fell into super depression. Then they started teasing me on reddit "does he notice? does he notice?" etc etc. The pills were colored differently. Not sure what their purpose was. Plus if I see a therapist they'll be privy to what I say (under the 9/11 bill they can pull your records.)

None of that makes any sense though. To what end would they put all all of this time and effort into? How could the government be so incompetent yet so powerful at the same time?

[–] MrHand@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

okay, it doesn't sense to you, i'm just a yelping loon. please stop interacting with me
