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.

I appreciate that you feel you're being oppressed wrongly because you're sad that you can't get a girl, but perhaps going to hang out with people who tend to be extremists, adopting their beliefs, and then complaining that the government watches people who do this... Like everyone else is saying, you need therapy my dude. Where you are right now is not a safe state of mind.

No, I don't feel "sad because I can't get a girl." I'm pissed off because I'm subject to intrusive monitoring by feds as part of the Countering Violent Extremism program which violates civil liberties of individuals who are deemed a threat based on 1st amendment protected statements they make. I will accept this abuse so along as the same treatment is vetted to globohomo types. Why isn't this the case?
