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.
Who ever did? Nobody with an idea what they were really about. Hoover was a cross dressing weirdo and all the fbi has done since the beginning is stomp all over the rights and freedoms of the American public with no recourse. Disband. Local sheriffs only.
Yes, there were days when we “actually respected” the FBI, largely due to the always strenuous selling job the Agency did on us. Anyone,though, who began looking into the history of Hoover’s FBI knows of its double dealing, it’s political biases, its love of blackmail, and in general a million things and acts that were completely at odds with the public image. It’s really “101”-—I don’t see the current new identity of the FBI as anything more than an accommodation of and to the totalitarian leanings of the Current Administration. We hear reports of the many agents who seem to be aghast at this current behavior, but really who knows what to believe? The Agency has always been “corrupt enough” and government in general has always trended toward authoritarianism/totalitarianism to be completely surprised at what it’s doing now, and what we’ve been subjected to for the last 3 years at least.
Whoever thought “Friendly, But Incompetent” should become the Ministry of Truth is an idiot that needs to be ejected from the planet...
The Nashville tranny is and (I hope) will always remain the quintessential expression of what it wrong with the way in which the entire “issue” has been unnecessarily politicized and the cynicism with which their side has manipulated it and made it look like trans people are “fighting for their lives” , ironically, even though in this case, they wind up murdering people who they never gave a chance to fight for THEIRS. But not so strangely, this is already old news, vying with a hundred other dysfunctional petitioners for our attention.
Chad, as in “hanging chad”, or as in the “ideal alpha male” hung Chad? I’m so confused.
Any question why they have missed every shooter in the last 20 yrs?
I say ban the dictionary and only use approved words provided by the left.
“I always thought that ‘Chad’ was a male ‘Karen.’”

#MeToo. It’s hard to keep up these days.
Like, GFY, fibbee ?
If someone posts “Chad loves the FBI” will they SWAT themselves?
Ping
The FBI sucks... butt boys for left wing commies...
They’re trying to justify their hatred of conservatives by trying to make their BS sound ‘intellectual’... Agents target the vulnerable young men and egg them on so they can “make their numbers”.
It would make more sense if the FBI looked AT THE REAL CRIME NUMBERS IN OUR CULTURE AND LOOKED FOR PEOPLE IN THOSE GROUPS. That would include sexual weirdos and people of color involved in the drug trades - people more likely to be violent than white church goers of the same age and sex.
But we know who the FBI and Homeland are REALLY targeting and that’s conservative Americans.... they don’t egg on liberals, progressive or ‘confused’ 20+ years old progressive gays. Nope, that group gets a pass for the corrupt FBI. Same with trans. Gotta give ‘em a pass. Same with black lives matter... get those damn passes out.
So you contend Christians should have out of marriage sex, so they don’t become incels?
p
In the big list of what the Fcuking Brotherhood of Idiots get wrong, this crap doesn’t make even page Ten.
Do Christians become mass shooters?
Christians may meet the definition of people who are involuntarily celibate.
No, they are the definition of people who are voluntarily celibate. They are celibate because it is the right thing to do and it is their choice to be celibate until marriage, not because they desire to have out of wedlock sex but cannot find a willing partner.
