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, my computer is hacked by them and they are privy to my computer activity -- as in, right now, they're seeing me type this post. How can I get these rats out of my computer? I just run Windows 11.

You feel that fire deep in your belly? That unique rage that convinces you that not only are you correct about this, but that it is a uniquely important issue and nobody can tell you otherwise? THAT VERY FEELING SHOULD BE YOUR RED FLAG TO RE-EXAMINE WHAT YOU'RE WRITING, BOTH HERE AND ANY OTHER TIME YOU FEEL IT.

Of course the "issue" is "important" to me. "Countering Violent Extremism" is "precrime" and violates civil liberties. I've been subject to intrusive monitoring -- an open air prison. So yes, it bothers me because I haven't done anything wrong beyond speaking vociferously in favor of the "emergent polygyny" hypothesis. I have a fire in the belly indeed. I want the people who did this to go to jail.
