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?

      To be clear, you cannot be held without a judge’s order even if you go in voluntarily. They will not keep you for long and based on your symptoms may not even admit you but instead give you resources to use after visiting the ER. I think you’re in a good position to head in before a real crisis that will get you involuntarily committed.

        For sure, but you can drive someone to insanity by depriving them of sleep. I say I am subject to intrusive monitoring. I realize that if I try to express this to normal everyday people, I will come off as schizo. On top of that to be going around sleepless – a mental zombie – is going to make me look crazier, and make everyone around me think I’m a loon. Maybe this leaves a “trail” of mental-health issue history that, should I snap in public or something, can be used to commit me.

          You will be told that you are having paranoid delusions by healthcare professionals. I am a healthcare professional and am telling you that. We don’t expect you to believe us. But what I’m also telling you is that not matter what, you know that you are heading to a crisis without any sleep. Not believing me about that, or other professionals about that, doesn’t change the fact that you need help with what you’re experiencing. As far as a record goes, a judge decides if you are an ACTIVE threat. Past doesn’t matter for that, unless you have a past history of being violent. Being delusional is NOT an active threat.

            I’m not having paranoid delusions. This was my experience: I posted on the web forum incels.is – run by DHS – and have since been subject to intrusive monitoring which escalated into direct fed harassment of me in various ways. Part of this “intrusive monitoring” entails monitoring of my communications and online activity. Hence it’s not out of the realm of possibility that some of the people here eager to label my claims as paranoid/delusional are feds…

              I understand that, I’m not particularly trying to build a therapeutic relationship with you to prevent you from thinking I’m a fed. I’m giving you honest advice and expectations as to what you’d experience if you go to the ER, which is what I recommend.

      But that’s more work than they need to do to discredit or lock someone up. It makes no sense for them to do that to you. It’s much more likely you have a health condition.

            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?
