FBI Misrepresents Popular Internet Slang Words, Labels Them as ‘Extremism’
American Greatness ^ | 10 Apr, 2023 | Eric Lendrum

Posted on 04/10/2023 6:40:43 AM PDT by MtnClimber

On Monday, FBI documents exposed to the public revealed that the investigative agency has deliberately misrepresented the meaning of numerous popular Internet slang terms, and has used this misinterpretations to label them as signs of “violent extremism.”

As reported by Fox News, the documents were made public through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project. The documents show that numerous popular phrases and terms have been flagged as indicators of “Involuntary Celibate Violent Extremism” or “Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism.”

The documents focus particularly on young men who are known as “incels,” short for “involuntarily celibate,” which is incorrectly written as “involuntary celibate” by the FBI. The term encompasses many young men, particularly in the Millennial and Generation Z age ranges, who are incapable of finding romance due to an increasingly disproportionate and difficult dating scene due to the rise of social media. The FBI’s “threat overview” describes such men as planning to “commit violence in support of their beliefs that society unjustly denies them sexual or romantic attention, to which they believe they are entitled.”

One of the most popular phrases on the internet is “red pill,” a reference to the 1999 film “The Matrix,” and meant to represent someone’s awakening to previously hidden lies and finally seeing the harsh reality of the world, especially with regards to politics. The FBI claims that the phrase represents “a belief shared by many online communities that society is corrupt, and that the believer is a victim of this corruption.”

Many other terms are subsequently flagged by the FBI, despite being harmless and often used in comedic situations more than anything else. Another term the FBI notes is “Chad,” which has since come to be synonymous with the ideal alpha male, idolized by men and women alike. The FBI incorrectly identifies “Chad” as a “Race-specific term,” and claims that “incels unsuccessfully compete against Chads for attention.

Another term of mockery and jest that is labeled by the FBI as “extremist” is the phrase “It’s over,” which is often meant to convey the hopelessness of the current situation of the world, either by politics, culture, or some other broader means of societal decline. A nihilistic worldview that is also associated with the phrase “black-pilled,” the FBI falsely connects this phrase exclusively to incels, claiming that it represents “the hopelessness of being an incel.”

A commonly-used word on the internet is “based,” which essentially means “agreeable” or “cool” from a right-wing perspective, suggesting that the more right-wing someone is on certain issues, the more “based” they are. The FBI incorrectly describes “based” as “someone who has been converted to racist ideology.”

The full list by the FBI is described by the agency as terms representative of “Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism” (RMVE), despite the fact that virtually none of the terms actually have anything to do with race.

That depends on whether Chad is hanging or swinging.

Hmmm...I thought it was the opposite. I guess I'm not a right-wing extremist.

I always thought that ‘Chad’ was a male ‘Karen.’

I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

It’s good that they’re scared of us, that’s how it should be. They should sleep in fear and doom every night.

But they’re total morons and lefties. If this real, they’re even more “gone” than previously thought.

Then again, if they’re this retardedly dumb, they’re actually less of threat, and easier to RUIN.

There were some self proclaimed ‘incels’ and ‘furries’ among a group of LGBTQI+ students from colleges like Michigan State that got internships at Disney-—they made no secret of their objective was grooming children into adopting their perverted lifestyles. Several of these ‘disney employees’ were caught in stings involving the solicitation of children for sex.

Involuntary Celibate Violent Extremism

/\

Im sick of this term.

How do they know the celibacy is involuntary ?

Why is celibacy for any reason bad ?

All single Christians and Jews are required by God to be celibate.

So if I choose celibacy I’m extreemist, radical and dangerous ?

This is a sodom and Gomorrah attitude that celibacy is bad.

Sick of it.

What ?, they gonna make it illegal to refuse anyone sex ?

That’s exactly where this incel slander term is going.

Spit.

Fornicating perverts.

No, Chad is the opposite of a Karen. Hence Chad, the cartoon character by Wylok.

Watched it the night before our wedding. Was a running joke for years.

The movie-, not the wedding.

When a cat was crazy playing, I’d pretend to Chud the cat while singing Chud ..

Chud. .. Chud. That will teach her a lesson. yum yum

In other words, "They're on to us."

I guess the manifesto might tell us. The Feebs are probably trying to decypher it.

Given the state of our current FBI, the Feebs are probably the ones who helped write it.

If that were the case, they’d probably want it released, pronto. I’m guessing it’s in rewrite/redaction mode.

Spot on how China of them to lay the ground work for what you say makes you an enemy of the state.

My friend Chad was red-pilled because he thought he was incel. I told him that wasn’t the case because our friend Frieda has the hots for him and he isn’t black-pilled.

OK, FBI, come and get me!
