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.

Assuming everything you're saying is true, the reason the honeypot existed in the first place is because incel communities often tend to spawn domestic terrorists.

If you're looking for any kind of sympathy, even if only enough to get folks to give you useful advice, "I'm an incel and my incel activities got me on a government watchlist" is about as likely to get you sympathy as "I'm a nazi and my nazi activities got me on a government watchlist."

My recommendation: get therapy.
