White male, early 20s, lives with mom and dad, writing manifestos... Why SHOULDN'T the authorities be looking at incels?
that's a recipe for civil liberties violations
I lived by myself until feds harassed me from my secure job (back in early 2022) and then started subjecting me to sleep deprivation this year.
Friend, I recommend you consider visiting the hospital. There's a high chance you have an undiagnosed condition that they can help you with and make your life much easier. That you think the government is interfering with your sleep is a paranoid delusion, but it's very controllable.
Yes, I understand that you believe that and that I can't convince you otherwise. I am a nurse, however, and am assuring you that you will receive help for it at a hospital. It's not something I can help you with though.
dissidents have often marked as crazy by governments. indeed, they often take a hand in driving that person crazy.

Yeah, but zersetzung was used against credible political targets. Not against some random guy that can't get laid.
In the end, you choose the route you'll take. My recommendation is to check yourself in to get help before you spiral into a real crisis. Government or not, if you can't sleep you're going to need to go somewhere for help eventually.
Friend, you need professional help
And how did they do that exactly?
They've shutdown all incel spaces across the web and worked with tech platforms like reddit to likewise ban incel spaces. They set up honeypot forums in their place operated by feds so ANY would be incel poster gets scrutinized. When the person ends up in that space and says something a fed doesn't like, they're immediately hacked and subject to NSA tools. I became aware of this when, a month or so after posting on incels.is, I started receiving "advice" based on content retrieved from my phone! It goes much further than that -- they use metrics to see what threads a reader (not even a user) clicks on and then hack that user. They are often surprised that so many of their readers clicking on violent-endorsing threads by the larping feds end up being women. 😆
And how did that cause you to lose your job and sleep?
