What if I told you, you probably aren't as important to the government as you're fantasizing?
Whenever someone who comes under the precrime "Countering Violent Extremism" program airs their complaints like I did, invariably there's someone like you -- usually a fed -- who says just this sort of thing in order to paint the person as schizo. I ain't a schizo. I posted on incels.is. It's a DHS honeypot forum that's comprised entirely of larping feds and the naïve incel users in fact never see posts by people like themselves. This was my experience. I am not lying. If it didn't happen to me I couldn't have dreamt it up.
I'm not a mental health professional, so I'm going to refrain from saying or suggesting anything further, except that you should consider talking to a professional about your experiences.
