Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.

Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.

If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.

Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.

For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.

Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

That is your opinion, and it's usually not worth trying to change someone's opinion if they believe "gang stalking" is a real thing.

It's one of the reasons it's so serious, anyone attempting to help an undiagnosed schizophrenic, just drives them deeper into it. Because they just write that person off as "in on it".

As their behavior becomes more and more erratic, everyone acts weird around them as a response eventually leading to reclusive hermits who constantly harass their neighbors or escalate to violence over imagined sleights

Gangstalking is a truly fascinating symptom of schizophrenia.

"just because you're paranoid don't mean they're not after you". It's easier than ever for governments to monitor their citizenry, and there sure seem to be harsh consequences for those who demonstrate their effectiveness in altering the status quo. For every Fred Hampton there are a hundred good, strong, moral people who met a similar fate you never heard of. Dismissing their experience as mental illness is doing the regimes dirty work whether you're cognizant of that or not. Weird amount of activists dying from "suicide" or "overdose", some of whom I know beyond a doubt were supported and sober. We're having this discussion on a reddit splinter, Aaron Swartz for fucks sake

Yeah...

Like I said, important people, sure...

But they don't call that "gangstalking".

People that use "gang stalking" are random unimportant schizophrenics who desperately need professional medical help, but like a dehydrated rabies patient with a glass of water, the condition prevents them from taking action.

Someday you'll have to teach me to tell who's "important" ahead of time.

For real deal Hemingway level of fuckery?

Labor leaders, politicians and those close to them, journalists (almost most of all), scientists, government officials, and then anyone who has an existing megaphone whose message would reach a lot of people fast.

99.9999% of the population doesn't fall under that.
