Let's not forget the mass killings perpetrated by and celebrated by incels. They are an extremist group and should be monitored as such.

The Ohio case was one were feds encouraged that guy up until the point were he was going to do something. In fact, he posted on incels.is and the feds there trump up that one case as a huge victory justifying their work. But they duped him and were egging him on. The California guy didn't actually do anything. There has been one verifiable incel related mass shooting -- Elliot Rodger, and that has been used to tarnish the whole community from a place of distaste. Feminists get to tarnish an emergent group that gives them the jeebies and feds get work to replace the dwindling War on Terror. Indeed, feds control the entirety of the incelosphere now and they self-servingly define it as a place of violence and radicalism. Some soros funded outfit that goes by the name of "Center for Countering Digital Hate" did a report on the incelsophere some months back -- but they based their report on incels.is, which is operated by feds. This is straight up lying.
