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?

        If they really thought I was dangerous they wouldn’t have subjected me to sleep deprivation and various harassments…

        How am I dangerous? Is it dangerous to say “emergent polygyny is a problem and men have a coalitional interest in rolling it back”? “They” have a selfish interest in self-promotion and guaranteeing work for themselves which is why they’re wolfishly turning on domestic citizens.

          It’s dangerous and deluded and makes you a danger to others, and also to yourself.

          I know it’s hard to deal with the self-hatred but turning it outwards will not help you. It will just dig that miserable hole deeper until you cannot climb out of it without doing serious harm. You’re missing out on so much joy simply because you’re too much of a coward to take a look at yourself.
